Programmes Security CybersecurityThe European Commission has published a Recommendation on Post-Quantum Cryptography to encourage Member States to develop and implement a coordinated approach towards post-quantum cryptography.
Quantum technologies can bring many economic and societal benefits, but advances in quantum computing are expected to also make it easier for malicious actors to access sensitive data.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is one of the solutions to continue to protect communications for the security of our citizens, societies, economies and the EU's digital single market. PQC is based on mathematical problems that are difficult even for quantum computers to solve. As a software-based solution, it is compatible with existing infrastructures in several sectors, and can thus be deployed relatively swiftly.
The recommendation will help Member States develop a consistent strategy to migrate towards more secure ways of protecting their digital infrastructures, promoting interoperability between countries, and allowing seamlessly functioning systems and services across borders.
Stakeholders planning to submit project proposals on PQC in the future should demonstrate awareness with the content of this recommendation.

If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).
NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
