At the upper right, "QUANTUM WEBINAR SERIES" appears in large white and cyan uppercase text. The left half of the slide is dominated by the event title, "Transitioning to Quantum-Safe Cryptography," set in large, bold white sans-serif type across three lines. Below it, the date "28 JULY 2026" is displayed in cyan. The right half features a glowing digital globe composed of blue dots and interconnected light nodes, with luminous network arcs spanning continents to suggest global connectivity and secure communications. Blue particle-wave effects flow across the lower edge of the slide, reinforcing the futuristic theme. Near the lower right, the white text "ARCHIVED BY ISOC.LIVE" serves as subtle branding. The overall design uses a restrained palette of deep blue, white, and electric cyan, with balanced typography and imagery conveying cybersecurity, networking, and quantum-era technology.

On 28 July 2026, the Industry Network Technology Council (INTC) hosted a webinar ‘Transitioning to Quantum-Safe cryptography‘.

This third talk in the INTC Quantum Series gave an overview of post-quantum encryption and digital signature primitives recently standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to which a lot of governments and organizations are currently transitioning. The session also gave a brief description of additional algorithms that are currently in the pipeline at NIST and talked about what kind of challenges one faces when trying to migrate more complex protocols to quantum-safe.

VIDEO | AUDIO | RECAP | ARCHIVE | PERMALINK On 17 June 2026, the AFRINIC Academy hosted a webinar ‘Don’t Get Left Behind: Inside the African Government IPv6 Accelerator‘. The African Government IPv6 Accelerator is a targeted program designed specifically to support government network operators. Africa’s combined IPv6 capability is only 6.11%. Commercial networks constrained by short-term ROI will not close this digital gap. To secure our infrastructure, Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies must take the lead. Here is exactly how government networks can put themselves back on track. SPEAKERS Adebowale Aduloju – Snr. Learning Experience Designer, AFRINIC Bashir Angode – AFRINIC HOST Emma Perrier – Snr.

On 23 June 2026, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) Centre for Canadian Innovation and Competitiveness hosted a webinar ‘Backdoors and Blowback: What Bill C-22 Means for Canadians‘.

Lawful access reform is being presented as a modest update to police powers for the digital age. Bill C-22 is more than that. Accessing data a company already holds is one thing; requiring companies to redesign their systems so private messages can be unlocked on demand is another. That requirement risks creating unintended security consequences.

Serious bad actors can move to foreign or self-built tools that sit outside Canadian law. The security burden falls instead on families, businesses, and professionals using mainstream services that would now be required to build in access points. Canada’s own Centre for Cyber Security has long urged Canadians to protect themselves with stronger encryption. Bill C-22 moves in the opposite direction.

The virtual panel examined what Bill C-22 would actually do, why building in backdoors tends to introduce new security risks rather than contain them, and what a more targeted approach could look like.

RECORDING – Encryption Matters: In Conversation with Sally Wentworth and US Senator Ron Wyden

ISOC LIVE

ISOC LIVEYOUTUBE | PATREON | TRANSCRIPT | ARCHIVE | PERMALINK

For Global Encryption Day 2025, Internet Society President and CEO Sally Wentworth sat down with U.S. Senator Ron Wyden to discuss why encryption matters. They talked about what’s at stake if we don’t have encryption, the role the Section 230 law plays in intermediary liability, and the challenges surrounding constructive conversations related to child safety, and the importance of encryption for the safety of children’s information. Finally, they discussed future challenges for the Internet, and how the Internet Society’s global community can best help ensure that people everywhere have a safe and secure online experience.
