Cyber Security in The Age of Quantum Computing

Japan is investing heavily in quantum computing to advance cybersecurity and remain competitive with the US and China. The government has invested over 80 million yen and aims to have the country's first quantum computer ready by 2023. Quantum computers could revolutionize cryptography and help solve complex problems. However, they also present cybersecurity challenges. As a result, Japan is strengthening domestic and international partnerships to collaborate on cybersecurity strategies and policies to protect critical infrastructure from increasing cyber threats.

Cyber security in the age of Quantum Computing: Japan

Country –Japan

Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is an area of computer science that uses the principles of
quantum theory. Quantum theory explains the behavior of energy and material on the
atomic and subatomic levels.

Quantum computing uses subatomic particles, such as electrons or photons. Quantum


bits, or qubits, allow these particles to exist in more than one state (i.e., 1 and 0) at the
same time.

It is involved in all fields all over the world.

It mainly affects the computing sector which includes Information Technology (IT), AI
and all the sectors in different ways. Here are some of its advantages:

1. Helps in solving complex computations and problems


2. Huge research projects
3. Help in advancement in , Health care , AI technology , Machine Learning ,
Energy production
4. Accurate and precise weather predictions
5. Algorithmic stock exchange
6. Logistics and supply management

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize computation by making certain


types of classically intractable problems solvable, this makes Quantum computers
important.

We the Japanese expect Quantum computers to play a major role in our logistics
management, transport management and Cyber security. To catch up the ongoing
Quantum computing race and compete with The United States and China, our
government has revamped an indigenous Quantum technology strategy. We also
envision support for quantum technology startups through our state-owned fund. The
government has invested over 80 million yen in this critical technology.

We are expecting our first homegrown Quantum computer to ready to use by March
2023.By the end of this decade the government of Japan expects 10 million users.

Cyber security in the age of Quantum Computing: Japan

These computers offer great speed and play a major role in cryptography. The National
Center for Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cyber security (NISC) is the leading
agency in the Central Government in forming the national cyber security strategy in
Japan. NISC guides all central government agencies in establishing and implementing
cyber security policies and measures.

Private tech companies, the government and other countries have come together to
shape the narrative that Japan's cyber security is indeed advancing.

Japan is a technology hub and innovator but has been challenged by cyber crimes,
threats and attacks like every other country. The country has taken steps to change the
narrative.

Due to the increase in cyber threats and attacks in recent years, we have started a
bilateral collaboration with new countries and strengthened our current partnerships. For
example, we have worked with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on how to
improve our cyber security

Our leading energy utility has also partnered with the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC),
Israel's electricity provider, to manage cyber security concerns to critical infrastructure in
Japan. In solving our lack of IT workers and innovating ways to solve cyber security
problems, we allow the flow of IT professionals across ministries. This practice has
worked thus far but does not replace the need to have numerous IT professionals
specifically working in each ministry — not remotely or as freelance employees.

The network of physical objects (Internet of Things) used to transfer data in our
technology industry has been fashioned to follow the practices of countries with which
they have bilateral agreements — especially the U.S. — and, to stay secure, they will
be leveraging these agreements and relationships.

We have looked upon both national and international companies to assist with our cyber
security needs. It is imperative that these companies keep Japan safe.

I the delegate of Japan would like to extend a few ideas. We from Japan are open to
form new organization regarding this mammoth issue. We expect all the member
countries of WSIS to collaborate and work as one unit. We call for crafting legislation
and a regulatory body to prevent leaks of sensitive technology and building more
resilient supply chains. We would also expect the UN to allocate a dedicated budget for
cyber security. R&D wing (Research and Development) wing of UN should be
established to counter cyber attacks
