@addressforbots @cstross pki and qkd, secular gainers (my opinion) #bb84 #sks keyserver

“Current #EncryptionTechnology relies on complex mathematical combinations, but many #scientists believe that the arrival of #QuantumComputers will make this insecure.

By contrast, #Bennett and #Brassard's theory - known as #BB84 - shows that any attempt to hack or copy their #quantum #encryption #key changes the very behaviour of its elements, making replication impossible.”

Turing Award in the Field Of #Quantum #Computing ::

""Gilles Brassard and Charles Bennett have been awarded the A. M. Turing Award “for their essential role in establishing the foundations of quantum information science and transforming secure communication and computing”.""

Which is effectively how I feel about crocheting.

"" In 1984, Bennett and Brassard developed the first concept of a quantum encryption key1 — one that the sender of a message could share with the receiver in a stream of photons. They showed that any device trying to intercept that stream would destroy the information stored in the photons, thereby revealing that the transmission had been intercepted. Later that decade, Bennett led a team at IBM that first demonstrated technique experimentally.""

@yossarian use cryptpad #sks servers #qkd #pki #bb84

@dawisco maybe it will propel mastodon to develop some options for people? it could be great - more e2ee and fiber will help security, it is a cheap investment for what you get back #national security issues #tech race #passwordless trends #alice and bob #bb84

@Em0nM4stodon not only is it good opsec but for biz in particular they want and need secure comms - just to conduct business #alice and bob #bb84 #pki #qkd #5g security #evercookie

Pionnier de la théorie de l’information quantique, Gilles Brassard, professeur à l’Université de Montréal, évoque les menaces de l’ordinateur quantique et l’utilité de la cryptographie quantique pour les contrer.

I hope tthey invest in fiber as much as the elec grid #utilities #energy sector #doe #TelecommunicationsServicesIndustry #5g security #pki #qkd #bb84

@feeds pressure on isp and telecom probably won't get real for a few more years to roll out more fiber - cyber security is national security #quantum related #in house solutions #dsp #qkd #pki #bb84

7 years ago a sys admin was cornered to give up keys in bogota - e2e comms are totally possible but the status quo has not yet come around - basically it is about power, money, status, and to a degree security. I think it may be one of the most highly prized and most beneficent areas for future developers - a topic that will be debated and regulated and pored over #crypto #sigint #the bravery of cracking primes #bb84 #elliptical curves

@da_667 you have no choice considering china is ahead in a wide swath of tech domains (see guardian thinktank article on china) if you doubt this also consider huawei is growing like a monster even when we essentially cut them off and they had by far and away the most patents of any company last year #innovation #research #investment #bb84 is complete

Buscando info sobre el protocolo #BB84 me aparecen cosas del robotito BB-8, y si busco el algoritmo #SIDH (intercambio de claves Diffie-Hellman con Isogenia supersingular) veo publicaciones de medicina. Esto de estudiar #criptografía cuántica y post-cuántica tiene sus contras XD
