Inside Quantum Technology: Eric Hay on How to Future-Proof “Quantum-Safe”

Eric Hay, Senior Vice President of Field Engineering at Quantum XChange, joined host Christopher Bishop on Episode 84 of Inside Quantum Technology’s Quantum Dragon Podcast to talk through what it actually takes to future-proof a “quantum-safe” deployment.

The conversation covers single-use private keys and the controls that prevent retrieval after a key has been used, secure key exchange, and the architectural fixes that address vulnerabilities in post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) protocols. Eric also discusses why organizations should keep using symmetric keys on the same channels on which they were exchanged, and what that means for protecting data-in-motion against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.

For security and network leaders evaluating PQC migration, this episode is a practical look at where the standards stop and where architecture has to take over. Phio TX® is the product built around that approach.
