PQC for Smart City IoT Infrastructure and Sensor Networks

Half day In person or online

Technical workshop for smart city architects, IoT platform engineers, and municipal IT security teams. Covers post-quantum cryptography migration for city-scale IoT deployments: traffic management sensor networks, smart metering infrastructure, environmental monitoring systems, and connected lighting. Addresses the specific constraints of resource-limited IoT devices and the ETSI EN 303 645 security baseline requirements under quantum threat.

Cryptographic exposure across city-scale IoT deployments: device classes and risk profiles
Lightweight PQC for resource-constrained IoT endpoints in smart city infrastructure
ETSI EN 303 645 security baseline and its quantum readiness trajectory
Smart metering infrastructure: DLMS/COSEM protocol PQC migration pathways
Key management at city scale: PKI architecture for millions of IoT endpoints

Quantum Security for Urban Mobility and Traffic Management Systems

Half day In person or online

Covers the quantum cryptographic exposure of urban traffic management systems, adaptive signal control systems, tunnel and bridge sensor infrastructure, and urban air mobility communication frameworks. Addresses UTMC standards, SCOOT/SCATS system security, and PQC migration for ANPR and tolling systems that store vehicle movement data over long retention periods.

Quantum Optimisation for City-Scale Resource and Utility Management

Half day In person or online

Examines quantum optimisation applications for city-scale resource management: water distribution network pressure scheduling, district heating and cooling system dispatch, waste collection route optimisation, and multi-modal urban transport network design. Covers QUBO formulations for municipal operations problems, quantum-inspired approaches available today, and roadmap milestones relevant to smart city technology procurement cycles.

Quantum-Safe Public Data Infrastructure and Open Data Security

Half day In person or online

Addresses the quantum cryptographic obligations of city data platforms: open data APIs, citizen data portals, inter-agency data sharing agreements, and city data exchange platforms operating under standards such as FIWARE NGSI-LD and TM Forum Open APIs. Covers GDPR and NIS2 obligations for local authorities, cryptographic integrity of published open datasets, and how cities can meet emerging PQC standards in public procurement requirements.

Quantum Computing for Urban Planning, Simulation, and Digital Twins

Half day In person or online

Covers quantum computing applications in urban simulation: quantum-enhanced agent-based modelling for population and mobility simulation, quantum optimisation for land use planning scenarios, and quantum machine learning for city digital twin predictive analytics. Addresses where quantum simulation provides genuine uplift over classical approaches for urban planning teams and the data requirements for viable quantum urban models.
