Finalist at the Student Chapter Leadership Conference
I had the opportunity to participate in the Student Chapter Leadership Conference, where my team and I advanced to the finals. This allowed us to present our case in front of esteemed judges at the University of Alabama. Our challenge was to propose quantum-safe encryption algorithms to protect sensitive systems against the emerging threats posed by quantum computing. In response, we developed a comprehensive step-by-step migration plan for transitioning critical systems. This included data storage, network communications, and user authentication. Our proposal also included a detailed cost breakdown and an assessment of potential risks and challenges associated with adopting new cryptosystems.
