One of the most infuriating things about #QuantumComputing related stuff is that #QuantumComputers being theoretically able to break factoring and DLog (aka: most asymmetric crypto in current use) using Shor’s algorithm is used as a selling point for #QuantumCryptography (QC) or #QuantumKeyDistribution (#QKD).

The two topics really have nothing to do with each other, the solution for dealing with the broken schemes is to replace them with non-broken ones.

If we want QKD, there has to be a DIFFERENT motivation for it, that has nothing to do with Shor’s algorithm.

Somehow we have allowed the presentation to become “after classical crypto choose #PostQuantumCrypto (#PQC) or QKD”, instead of “keep using classical crypto that is secure against known attacks or switch to QKD”.

In line with that we should also increasingly move to stop talking about PQC, and just talk about secure #cryptography, because that is really all it is.

A new #GÉANTInfoshare on 17 July will cover recent experiences within our community with long-distance #QuantumKeyDistribution (#QKD) #network trials: events.geant.org/event/1675

In one of the experiments three different QKD testbeds were interconnected across Spain, Germany & Poland as part of #OPENQKD

The second work describes the recent collaboration btw. #Toshiba & GÉANT on a long-distance #Quantum Cryptography experiment, conducted over a 254km network testbed by GÉANT, from Frankfurt to Kehl

When physicists promote Quantum Key Distribution (#QKD) systems, they tend to claim things like: “it is unbreakable because of the laws of quantum physics”

The @bsi has a great report on why that's not true, and that these systems are also vulnerable to many possible implementation attacks.

Easy-to-use, cost-effective quantum computing might still be in the future, but #quantum technologies are already being used in other fields!

On #CONNECT44, we have a closer look at #QuantumNetworking & #QuantumKeyDistribution (#QKD) and at potential uses of QKD in the GÉANT Community 👉 connect.geant.org/2023/11/09/q
