Title: Recent trends and challenges for information security in the financial sector

Abstract:
It is necessary for financial institutions to assure information security relating to their services.
Security issues to be addressed include the following topics:
(a) an impact of cryptographically relevant quantum computers to existing crypto systems,
(b) vulnerability of authorization and authentication protocols used in open API services, and
(c) impersonation of remote authentication with synthesized deepfakes.
In this talk, we will introduce these issues and discuss how to mitigate the security risks in the
financial sector.
