#qkd — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #qkd, aggregated by home.social.

  1. 🔒 Oh, the irony! An article on "Quantum Cryptography" that's as #cryptic as the topic itself. Apparently, understanding #QKD requires more clearance than a James Bond mission. 🚀🔑

  2. Ein neues Forschungsprojekt, das quantensichere Technologien für resiliente und nachhaltige Behördenkommunikation evaluiert und entwickelt, ist diese Woche gestartet. 💡🔑 Das Innsbruck Quantum Ethics Lab (IQEL) der @uniinnsbruck, an dem u.a. das DiSC administrativ beteiligt ist, ist Projektpartner.

  8. USTC (Lu, Yang, Wang, Bao & Jian‑Wei Pan) publish in Science: device‑independent QKD over 11 km of fiber with full finite‑key security, and positive asymptotic key rates to 100 km — a ~3,000× range jump since 2022. DI‑QKD at metropolitan scales. Read: postquantum.com/security-pqc/c #QuantumSecurity #QKD

  9. QKD vs PQC: Countries are split. Some (e.g., China) build QKD networks, while the US/UK - and companies like Google - favor post-quantum cryptography. The NSA says it does not support QKD for national security. Read more: postquantum.com/post-quantum/q #PostQuantum #QKD

  12. Attending #ECoC2025 (wow, over 2000 ppl)! Today, my first session is in the afternoon, so...
    off to explore downtown #Copenhavn, the national museum, runde taarn, and find ice cream (I didn't expect the warm weather), before returning to #qkd and #fiber deployment for the rest of the week.

  14. #QKD: Quantum Key Distribution. És espectacular: si intentes observar el sistema, n’alteres l’estat quàntic i es bloqueja l'accés. Un sistema de distribució de claus encriptades impossible de piratejar.

  15. The paper I co-authored (“A Critical Analysis of Deployed Use Cases for Quantum Key Distribution and Comparison with Post-Quantum Cryptography”) was accepted for publication by “EPJ Quantum Technology” today. 😊

    You can find the preprint here, Nick will eventually update it with the final changes.

    In short: We looked into existing use-cases for
    #QuantumKeyDistribution and whether they make any sense and did so as a joint team between people with a QKD-background and cryptographers who started out very critical of QKD. (I’m firmly in the latter camp.)

    My personal summary (though some of my co-authors won’t share it to this extend):
    #QKD is bullshit and not useful for practical purposes as it stands.

  16. The NCSC’s advisory deadline of 2035 for organisations to introduce quantum-safe algorithms is too late, according to some industry insiders.

  17. 🌟 EduQ: our DIY Quantum Learning platform for the mass 🔐✨

    🎉 Just demoed our hands-on quantum learning platform at a cutting-edge French Engineering school ! EduQ makes quantum accessible to engineers without physics backgrounds through applied experiments and research

    ➜ Live-generated entangled photons (g²(0) < 1 = quantum-proof!)
    ➜ Quantum comms detect eavesdroppers automatically — like a built-in cyber alarm!
    ➜ Hybrid systems (quantum + post-quantum crypto) = ultra-secure future.

    EduQ bridges theory and real-world impact to redefine secure communications. One photon at a time.

  18. Guy asks about what would happen if lattices and codes got broken.

    After people panel outlines some non great but workable alternatives, asks about
    #QKD. Immidiately gets shot down.

    It's bullshit and all cryptographers know it!

  19. UK NCSC:

    Publicly states that (asymmetric) post quantum crypto is the best response to the quantum thread, with purely symmetric options being an alternative for some special circumstances.

    No mention of
    #QKD. Good!

    #RWC2025

  20. UK cybersecurity agency National Cyber Security Centre is recommending that organisations start replacing existing asymmetric public key cryptosystems with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) alternatives to defend themselves against quantum computers

  21. 🇨🇳 CHINA | 🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICA
    🔴 China Achieves 10,000 km Quantum-Secured Communication

    🔸 Jinan-1 satellite enables record-breaking secure QKD link with South Africa.
    🔸 First real-time quantum key exchange across hemispheres achieved.
    🔸 Published in Nature, hailed as a major advance in satellite QKD.

  22. I was just ranting about #QKD in a chat with someone, when I compared quantum-resiliant cryptography with quantum key distribution like this, and noticed that I really like this summary:

    If you want to go 500 meter down the street you can either take your bike or call a helicopter to your place, have it hover over your home, climb up a rope ladder, have it fly you those 500 meters and dis-rope.
    Both of these get you to your destination, but one of them is faster, cheaper, less complicated, relying on more established infrastructure, scales better and is just about superior in every relevant regard. And it’s not the helicopter/QKD.

  24. 🎓 Ready to start your #Quantum learning journey?

    The first learning units in our new #QuantumTech #eAcademy are out, including an intro block on Quantum Algebra and units on IBM Qiskit and ETSI standard key exchange APIs!

    And many more units are in the works, covering #QuantumCommunications, #QuantumComputing, #QKD, simulation, resources, sensing and metrology, standardisation.
