THE PRIVACY PARADOX: Blockchains, AI, Quantum Algorithms, & the Future of Data Security

THE PRIVACY PARADOX: Blockchains, AI, Quantum Algorithms, & the Future of Data Security by Anupam Tiwari on Scribd

Event: Gurugram Police Cyber Security Summer Internship (Interns' Session)

Presenter: Dr Anupam Tiwari

In an era where data is the new oil, we face a critical paradox: the technologies designed to protect our privacy—like blockchain, AI, and quantum cryptography—also introduce new challenges and vulnerabilities. This presentation explores The Privacy Paradox, unraveling how emerging technologies both safeguard and threaten digital privacy.

Conducted as part of the Gurugram Police Cyber Security Summer Internship program, this session offers interns and cybersecurity enthusiasts a deep dive into:

• The dual role of blockchain in enhancing transparency vs. preserving privacy
• How AI and machine learning reshape data protection, surveillance, and trust
• The disruptive potential of quantum computing on encryption and secure communication
• Evolving strategies to balance innovation with robust data security and privacy frameworks

This presentation is ideal for students, cybersecurity professionals, and tech-policy thinkers seeking to understand the next frontier of digital privacy.

Cross-Chain Vulnerabilities in the Quantum Era: A Threat Analysis to Blockchain Interoperability

 

Cross-Chain Vulnerabilities in the Quantum Era: A Threat Analysis to Blockchain Interoperability by Anupam Tiwari

1.    I presented my research paper titled "Cross-Chain Vulnerabilities in the Quantum Era: A Threat Analysis to Blockchain Interoperability" at the International Conference on the Network and Cryptology (NetCrypt) 2025. The paper explores the emerging security threats posed by quantum computing to blockchain interoperability protocols, with a focus on cross-chain communication mechanisms. It provides a comprehensive threat analysis highlighting how post-quantum vulnerabilities can compromise inter-network trust, data integrity, and consensus mechanisms across heterogeneous blockchain systems.

2.    The presentation was part of NetCrypt’s broader agenda on advancing research in cryptology, network security, and cyber resilience, particularly in the context of evolving technologies such as quantum computing and machine learning. The conference brought together global experts and practitioners, providing a dynamic forum for interdisciplinary knowledge exchange and future collaboration in securing next-generation communication infrastructures.
