Generative AI and Quantum Computing - Future Challenges for Cyber Security

Rimesh Patel (Rimesh.patel@ietvolunteer.org) Quantum technology is transforming security networks by introducing qubit-based architecture, which can outperform traditional computers in solving complex problems. These quantum computers can tackle encryption systems that would typically take conventional computers decades to crack. This advancement has sparked a focus on developing “post-quantum cryptography,” a new level of encryption designed to safeguard data from the power of quantum computing. Global research is intensively exploring this area, with experts predicting that within a decade, large-scale quantum computers may be capable of breaking most public-key cryptosystems, the backbone of today's internet security. This presents a dual challenge: not only a security issue but also a significant privacy concern, particularly when it involves personal information. Governments are especially vigilant, aware that adversaries could collect encrypted data now, only to decrypt it later when quantum technology becomes viable. Combined with the potential misuse of Generative AI to amplify cyber-attacks, the urgency to protect sensitive information from future quantum threats has intensified the race to innovate secure cryptographic solutions. In this talk, Raj will discuss the rapid rise in A.I & Cyber Security, Machine Learning & Detection of Threats and post-quantum cryptography to secure data. His talk will highlight opportunities and future visions in this field.

Ultra-Deep Water Oil & Gas Developments in West Africa - Barrow-in-Furness

Oil and gas fields in deep water have increasingly been exploited as the more accessible fields have become depleted. Their exploitation brings ever larger challenges for technology, scale and logistics and are a success story that is little heard about in the UK. Barrovian Tony Oldfield as, Project Director of most of the developments off Africa, has the firsthand experience to tell us about these engineering exploits.

Railway signalling from the perspective of a Reading Signal Engineer

In the year that has been selected to mark 200 years of railways, I think it is appropriate to take a bit of a retrospective view. It is true railway signalling evolved by accident and I intend to mention some of the more significant accidents that provoked change. I have always been interested in history and am the author of "A Chronology of Railway Signalling 1825-2018" that documents the evolution.
