X-Road in the Quantum Age: Are We Ready?
It is not a question of if but when quantum computers will break the cryptographic algorithms that secure X-Road today. This session presents the results of a study mapping X-Road's cryptographic landscape and assessing its exposure to quantum threats. In this talk, we will walk through the key risks (including long-term data confidentiality, message authenticity, and PKI integrity) and outline a prioritised migration path to post-quantum cryptography.
16:40 - 17:00
X-Road 8 "Spaceship" - Navigating the Shift to Dataspaces
By Raido Kaju and Petteri Kivimäki
The upcoming major release, X-Road 8 “Spaceship”, builds on X-Road’s proven ecosystem model and robust security, taking it to the next level as a solid data space infrastructure. This milestone introduces the dataspace protocol stack, improved cloud compatibility, and a more modular architecture. It also makes X-Road technically compatible with the Gaia-X trust framework.
In this talk, we will explore:
What’s new in X-Road 8 and the scope of the transformation.
Updates to the X-Road terminology, protocols and common release schedule.
Why these changes are essential for the future of secure and trusted X-Road.
How they benefit X-Road users, from enhanced interoperability to alignment with emerging international standards.
The future of X-Road 7 development and migration to X-Road 8.
Join us to discover how X-Road 8 “Spaceship” opens the door to the next generation of secure, cross-border digital services. We will also launch the second X-Road 8 Beta, offering an opportunity to experience the new major version live.
