Quantum Computing for Cybersecurity Graduate Certificate

Quantum Computing for Cybersecurity

The scope of cybersecurity continues to evolve with the advancement of quantum computing applications and capabilities. Dakota State University's Quantum Computing for Cybersecurity Graduate Certificate equips students to be at the forefront of security efforts with emerging technologies, including offensive and defensive strategies. As the quantum computing industry is expected to generate over $4 billion in revenue by 2028, this cutting-edge certificate prepares students to work at the intersection of quantum computing and cybersecurity.

Whether you’re a working science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professional or a recent graduate, develop your knowledge of quantum computing and its influence on cybersecurity, post-quantum encryption, and quantum cryptography. Once you’ve completed the 12-credit certificate, you’ll be prepared to analyze and create cryptographic solutions that are resilient against quantum attacks.

Secure career opportunities

The quantum computing industry will continue to advance at rapid speed, but DSU is dedicated to preparing you with the most current knowledge to work with advanced technologies.

Developing your expertise in cybersecurity and quantum computing will expand your career opportunities in areas from direct application to consulting, research, and teaching.

• Help advance the field by safeguarding infrastructures within any industry.
• Develop and improve quantum cryptographic protocols, such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
• Research algorithms that are resistant to quantum attacks to develop new encryption standards in post-quantum cryptography.

Students can begin the ceritificate program in the fall term. Learn more about the application deadline.
