PQC Migration for Content Delivery Networks and Streaming Infrastructure

Half day In person or online

Technical session for platform engineers and security architects at streaming services, CDN operators, and large-scale media distributors. Covers TLS 1.3 post-quantum hybrid modes, NIST ML-KEM deployment in CDN edge stacks, certificate lifecycle management at scale, and the performance implications of PQC algorithm selection for high-throughput media delivery pipelines.

TLS 1.3 hybrid post-quantum modes: X25519MLKEM768 and deployment considerations
PQC certificate management at CDN scale: CA integration and rotation automation
Performance benchmarks: ML-KEM and ML-DSA overhead on high-throughput edge nodes
NIST FIPS 203 and 204 integration into CDN software stacks
Migration sequencing for live streaming infrastructure with zero-downtime requirements

Quantum Threats to Digital Rights Management and Content Authentication

Half day In person or online

Covers the quantum threat to asymmetric cryptography underpinning DRM systems including Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay. Addresses digital watermarking cryptographic integrity, content authentication certificate chains, and how to assess PQC readiness across the multi-party DRM ecosystem of studios, distributors, and device manufacturers. Includes a structured review of W3C EME and DASH-IF security specifications.

Quantum vulnerability in Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay asymmetric key architectures
Digital watermarking and forensic marking: cryptographic integrity under quantum threat
Content authentication certificate chains: exposure and PQC migration pathways
W3C EME and DASH-IF security specifications: PQC trajectory in standards bodies
Multi-party DRM migration: coordinating studios, distributors, and device OEMs

Quantum-Safe Archive Integrity for Long-Form Media and Cultural Heritage

Half day In person or online

Addresses the specific quantum cryptographic risk to long-lived digital media archives: broadcast archives, film preservation vaults, news agencies, and public sector cultural heritage collections. Covers cryptographic timestamping, hash-based signature schemes for long-term integrity, and how institutions with 50-100 year retention obligations should approach PQC migration for digital preservation infrastructure.

Harvest-now-decrypt-later implications for 50+ year media retention obligations
Hash-based signature schemes (SLH-DSA / SPHINCS+) for long-term archive integrity
Cryptographic timestamping standards: RFC 3161 and its quantum vulnerability
Post-quantum digital preservation: BagIt, OAIS, and preservation metadata integrity
Migration planning for broadcast archive infrastructure with minimal operational disruption

Quantum Computing for Media Recommendation and Audience Personalisation

Half day In person or online

Examines quantum machine learning approaches to large-scale content recommendation, audience segmentation, and real-time personalisation. Covers quantum-enhanced collaborative filtering, variational quantum approaches to embedding large content catalogues, and the realistic performance comparison with classical recommendation engines at streaming service scale. Aimed at data science and product teams in digital media.

Quantum-enhanced collaborative filtering for content recommendation at scale
Variational quantum circuits for content embedding and catalogue representation
Quantum versus classical recommendation engines: benchmark comparisons and practical limits
Audience segmentation using quantum clustering algorithms
Deployment constraints: latency, data volume, and hardware access for media-scale QML

Quantum Optimisation for Programmatic Advertising and Media Buying

Half day In person or online

Covers quantum and quantum-inspired optimisation for programmatic auction mechanisms, media mix modelling, campaign budget allocation, and cross-channel attribution. Addresses QUBO formulations for advertising allocation problems, annealing approaches for real-time bidding optimisation, and realistic near-term advantage cases for media agencies and publisher revenue operations teams.

Formulating media mix modelling as a quantum optimisation problem
Quantum-inspired approaches to real-time bidding and auction mechanism design
Campaign budget allocation: quantum versus classical solver performance at scale
Cross-channel attribution modelling using quantum Bayesian inference
Near-term pilot project design for programmatic and revenue operations teams

4 hours + Q&A In person or online Max 30 delegates

Executive briefing for CTOs, CISOs, and technology strategy leads at broadcasters, streaming platforms, news organisations, and digital publishers. Covers the media industry quantum security exposure across content protection, audience data, and delivery infrastructure alongside computing applications in recommendation and advertising. Addresses regulatory obligations, competitive dynamics, and investment sequencing.

Media industry quantum threat map: content, audience data, and delivery infrastructure
Regulatory obligations: NIS2, GDPR, and broadcast-sector security frameworks
Competitive landscape: where quantum investment is emerging in media and entertainment
Quantum computing opportunities: recommendation, personalisation, and advertising
Investment sequencing and building the business case for quantum readiness
