Forward Edge-AI Japan to Speak on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Migration Strategy at Interop Tokyo 2026

Forward Edge-AI Japan Inc. (FEAI-JP) announced it will speak at the Interop Tokyo Conference 2026, held from June 10-12 at Makuhari Messe. The session, titled "The Activation of PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) in 2026," will take place on the final day, June 12.

With the advancement of practical quantum computers, the risk that widely used encryption methods like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography could be broken in the future is growing. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the implementation status and migration strategies for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), a key countermeasure, covering aspects from hardware and systems to project management.

## Background: The Quantum Threat Becomes a Reality

Since the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) officially published standard algorithms for PQC in 2024, the need to develop crypto-agility has become urgent in Japan, especially in critical infrastructure, finance, and healthcare. However, many in the industry are unsure where to begin. FEAI-JP decided to lead this session to bridge this practical gap.

## Session and Exhibition Information

- **Session Title**: The Activation of PQC in 2026 ~ Latest Trends in Equipment, Systems, Projects, and the Industry ~
- **Date & Time**: Friday, June 12, 2026, 10:30 AM - 11:50 AM
- **Venue**: Room YD (Makuhari Messe International Conference Hall, 1st Floor)
- **Archive Streaming**: Available from late June to September 30, 2026
- **Exhibition Support**: FEAI-JP will also be present at the Getteworks Inc. booth (No. 7M32) at Interop 2026.

## Future Plans

Following this event, FEAI-JP will further strengthen its consulting, education, and technical support activities related to next-generation security technologies, including PQC. The company plans to expand its assessment services and technical training programs to help domestic companies achieve a smooth transition to PQC.
