Excellent article! “Cryptography is the thread that connects Julius Caesar, World War II and quantum computing, and it now lies under nearly every part of modern life. In this week’s episode, computer scientist Boaz Barak and co-host Janna Levin discuss the past and future of secrecy.”

Experts are starting to plan for the moment when a quantum computer large enough to crack the backbone of the math that keeps things secret will be turned on. This episode of Science, Quickly is supported by Novavax.

Cryptography is the thread that connects Julius Caesar, World War II and quantum computing, and it now lies under nearly every part of modern life. In this week’s episode, computer scientist Boaz Barak and co-host Janna Levin discuss the past and future of secrecy.

Join us on December 13, 2023, for a talk by Frank Leymann on the impact of #QuantumComputing on cryptography. Frank Leymann is not only our first Kurt Gödel Visiting Professor, but also an honorary professor at Vienna University of Technology, so you won't want to miss his insightful talk at TU Wien Informatics. Whether you're a student or a professional in the field, this #lecture will provide valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the era of quantum computing. https://lnkd.in/g99T6FCN #Cryptography #Computerscience #Informatics #Technology

"Cryptography to me is the 'black magic', enabling tasks that often seem paradoxical or simply just impossible." --Sanjam Garg, University of California, Berkeley. Candidate Multilinear Maps https://bit.ly/3CwcxEf lays one of the founding stones in furthering our understanding of these edges." In this book we put forth new plausible lattice-based constructions with properties that approximate the sought after multilinear maps. #cryptography #latticebased #MultilinearMaps #Cryptanalysis #GradedEncodingSystems New #Encoding #Schemes #NumberField #OneRoundKeyExchange ACM, Association for Computing Machinery

🎉 Celebrating the Last Day of Quantum Fridays for June! 🎉 As part of our Quantum Fridays campaign, we’re thrilled to announce the completion of two exciting projects: Grover's Algorithm and Shor's Algorithm. These projects mark the culmination of a month filled with exploration, learning, and innovation in the realm of quantum computing. You can find both projects on my GitHub profile! Grover's Algorithm is a quantum search algorithm that provides a quadratic speedup over classical algorithms. It is designed to search unsorted databases with N entries in O(√N) time, making it highly efficient for finding a specific item within a large dataset. This algorithm has broad applications, from solving complex mathematical problems to enhancing cryptographic systems. Building on the power of Grover's Algorithm, we also delved into the fascinating world of Shor's Algorithm. Shor's Algorithm revolutionizes integer factorization, enabling the efficient breakdown of large numbers into their prime factors. This has profound implications for cryptography, as it can potentially break widely used encryption schemes like RSA. The algorithm's exponential speedup compared to classical methods showcases the immense potential of quantum computing in solving problems that are currently intractable. These projects have been a fantastic journey into the potential of quantum algorithms. Check them out on my GitHub profile to see the code and learn more about these groundbreaking algorithms.

How do you regulate quantum computers which break encryption, while respecting the right to do science? It's difficult, but not impossible. In my new article for Cambridge University Press I chart a path forward: https://lnkd.in/euWQE66q
