QSI aims at training a world-class cohort of doctoral researchers (DRs) capable of taking the next essential steps in the highly demanding area of cybersecurity. We aim to build strong lasting links between strategically selected industry and academic partners, in different disciplines, via the development of novel technologies for practical applications in data security. In parallel, we will also combine, via a collaborative long-term interdisciplinary approach, expertise in all relevant communities to address key fundamental problems in secure communications in the quantum era, and the important applications therein. The planned training network will provide research and training opportunities to a new generation of DRs, who, in the long-run, shall address the Grand Challenge of providing "Quantum-Safe Internet", i.e., a communication infrastructure that is secure against not only classical attacks but also thoseenabled by quantum technologies. Today's Internet security heavily relies on computational complexity assumptions, and as such is seriously threatened by advancements in quantum computing technologies. Indeed, we have recently witnessed a wave of key developments in this direction by a number of IT giants, e.g., Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Intel. This particularly jeopardizes applications that require long-term security. The number of such applications is continuously growing as more and more of our private information is stored and communicated in a digital way, e.g., electronic health records, which are now required by European legislation to remain secure for a long time. This requires us to urgently develop and implement new solutions, as we plan to do in this Doctoral Network (DN).

QSI旨在培训能够在网络安全高度要求领域采取下一个基本步骤的世界一流的博士研究人员（DRS）。我们旨在通过开发用于数据安全的实际应用，在不同学科的战略选择的行业和学术伙伴之间建立持久的联系。同时，我们还将通过合作的长期跨学科方法，在所有相关社区中的专业知识，以解决量子时代的安全通信中的关键基本问题以及其中的重要应用程序中的关键基本问题。计划中的培训网络将为新一代的DR提供研究和培训机会，从长远来看，他们将应对提供“量子安全的互联网”的巨大挑战，即，不仅可以免受古典攻击，而且还可以通过量子技术来确保沟通基础设施。当今的互联网安全性在很大程度上依赖于计算复杂性假设，因此受到量子计算技术的进步严重威胁。确实，我们最近通过许多IT巨头（例如Google，IBM，Microsoft和Intel）目睹了这一方向的关键发展浪潮。这尤其危害需要长期安全的应用程序。随着我们越来越多的私人信息以数字方式（例如电子健康记录）存储和传达，此类应用程序的数量正在不断增长，现在欧洲立法要求这些记录长期保持安全。这就要求我们像我们计划在此博士网络（DN）中紧急开发和实施新的解决方案。
