#bb84 — Public Fediverse posts

@jack_daniel blocking ai is or was a dream a while ago and then reality set it, it became a fad and chinese ai was the only way to fix the adventurous ai, the jury is still out but the horse is out of the barn #ours also had a security breach #sandboxed nomads #cyber fiefdoms #peering agreements #qkd #bb84 #qrng #publishing houses #second story man

What's in the box:

QKD Engine - BB84, CV-QKD, and DI-QKD ready. Physical-layer key distribution that detects eavesdroppers in real-time via QBER monitoring. Eavesdrop? We measure it.

Hardened Debian - Minimal attack surface. Kernel locked. Audit-ready. Runs on secure enclave with measured boot.

10G Fiber NIC - Low-latency quantum-safe key exchange at wire speed. Plug into existing dark fiber or dedicated QKD links.

QRNG Core - Hardware quantum random number generator feeding /dev/random. Real entropy from vacuum fluctuations. No pseudo-random guesswork.

REST & gRPC APIs - Expose QRNG streams and QKD key material to your apps. Consume fresh quantum keys via simple GET requests. Integrate in minutes.

Port Knocking + SPA - Single Packet Authorization with port knocking closes all public ports until a cryptographically signed knock sequence unlocks access. Invisible unless you know the knock.

Post-Quantum Crypto Stack - liboqs, OpenSSL 3.x with QKD engine, hybrid PQC+QKD modes. Future-proofed.

Small business? Enterprise edge?
Deploy one. Deploy a mesh. The Black Box auto-discovers peers, negotiates QKD sessions, and delivers fresh symmetric keys for IPsec, TLS, or your own crypto.

Compliance-ready. Information-theoretic security. No backdoors. No math to factor. Just physics.

Random Oracle not included—but with this box, you generate your own.

$2499. Debian's first quantum edge. Deploy today. Secure forever.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is, if not the most active area in Quantum, it's darn close to it. Why?

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) enables two parties to produce a shared random and completely unbreakable secret key known only to them, which can then be used to secure communications by encrypting and decrypting messages.

This area of the Quantum ecosystem will very likely be the first to be commercialized on a broad scale.

ai is basically a psyop but don't sacrifice the entire country or is it enabling? when every small biz has fiber and qkd - they can have reasonable assurance they know who they are talking to (economic boost) #sks keyserver #qkd #pki #federated enclaves #p2p training and inference #space race #bb84

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

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
