MUMBAI – The advent of quantum computing will reguire the regulator to update its cybersecurity systems, Securities and Exchange Board of India Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on the sidelines of an event in Mumbai. He said the regulator is currently checking its systems and find passwords that may be required to change due to the shift to quantum computing.

 

"Quantum computing looks likely in future and because of this normal cryptography will break...we will need to change passwords," he said at Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai. Quantum computing is a developing technology that makes complex calcualtions at a much faster pace than classical computers. SEBI has highlighted over time that this shift can put systems at a risk of cyber attacks.

 

At the event, Pandey mentioned several measures SEBI has taken towards investor protection and improving market resilience. He said India was among the first to adopt T+1 settlement, which has improved liquidity in the market, and Indian market was now among the world's most advanced.

 

The regulator are assessing new technologies and how this can be used for investor protection measures. SEBI is using artificial intelligence in several cases but Pandey said there is lot of scope to increase its use.

 

Pandey said it may not be possible to be technology-neutral in regulation. This is because connected technology needs to be common to everyone and standardised, he said.  End
