This morning, I went to the Amazon Web Page of Cryptography Algorithms and realized that it was #1 Best Seller in Mathematical and Statistical also, #1 in System Administration, and #2 in Encryption. It was a fantastic feeling! Only 1 month after its release and after being #1Top New Releases in the same topics today, it scaled the top of the mountain. It's a great result! It was possible only because of hard work and the assistance of a professional team, reviewers, and readers. This Book is not only a "normal" 2nd Edition but a New Book, completely revisited and with a new chapter in Quantum Cryptography. It analyses the process of a quantum searching algorithm that can perform an incredible search in an unstructured database. This Book is a good guide for the new generation of Quantum enthusiasts who want to learn more about this topic and understand the Technical secrets of Quantum Computing. I wish this Book would be the reference text for Schools, Universities, and Academies involved in #Cryptography, # AI, #Quantum, and #Cybersecurity. A particular "Thank You" for this result goes to the President of FITSTC Foundation, Gaudenzio Garavini, who believed in the project of implementing a Quantum Laboratory where we can practice Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Telecommunications. All readers of Cryptography Algorithms 2nd Ed. are invited to participate in this project and experiment with our Quantum Photonic Laboratory.

First time got an idea on Quanrmtam computing, how it can make impact on Cybersecurity and how it can transform with the integration of AI. Thanks Professor Sardar M. N. Islam (Naz) Ph. D., LL.B. (Law). for creating interest in Quantum Computing. Thanks ACS (Australian Computer Society) for arraging this informative event on Quantum Computing and the Future of Mankind.

👨🏫 Teaching Quantum Science! I had the pleasure to be invited as guest speaker for the BAC+2 in CyberSecurity at the Lycée Guillaume Kroll (Lycée Guillaume Kroll) in Esch. This years topic was all about Quantum Technologies with focus on Quantum Communications. ⚛️ During the lecture, the students learned about Quantum Physics and the major fields of Quantum Technology before taking a deep dive into Quantum Cryptography as part of the Quantum Communications domain. Furthermore, we looked into the evolution of Quantum Computing and how a Quantum Computer could render Public-Private-Key encryption useless in the future using Shor's Algorithms. 🔒 Also we looked at a very old encryption scheme like OTP, the only known truly Quantum resistant scheme. We finished with an introduction into how QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) works including a possible QKD implementation using IBM Qiskit toolkit. I congratulate the LGK for having such talented students, as for some them were already familiar with the Quantum world. I hope that some of them will look for a career within the field of Quantum Information Science (QIS). 🤩 🤝 Thank you for having me with you.

Intriguing research: Cryptographers Discover a New Foundation for Quantum Secrecy Summary – Recent research reveals that quantum cryptography can secure most cryptographic tasks even if all computational problems are easy, relying on the difficulty of distinguishing between quantum states. This research challenges previous beliefs that only computational hardness could ensure cryptographic security. Commentary – Broader Scope: Recent advancements go beyond key distribution. They explore the potential of quantum cryptographic methods to secure a wide range of cryptographic tasks directly without relying on the classical computational hardness assumptions. New Insights: These findings suggest that most cryptographic tasks, not just key distribution, could be securely implemented using quantum principles. They rely on the difficulty of distinguishing between quantum states, a problem inherently linked to the laws of quantum physics. Implications: This new understanding means that even if classical computational problems (used in traditional cryptography) become easy to solve, quantum cryptography could still provide security. It allows for secure quantum bit commitments and other advanced cryptographic protocols. These findings offer a new perspective, suggesting that quantum principles could be harnessed to implement a wide range of cryptographic tasks, not just key distribution. This potential is rooted in the inherent difficulty of distinguishing between quantum states, a problem deeply intertwined with the laws of quantum physics. https://lnkd.in/gpR8QGaU United States Cybersecurity Institute #QuantumCryptography #Cybersecurity #Encryption #QuantumComputing #TechInnovation

With nations racing to lead in #quantum technology, the need for deep mathematical expertise is paramount. Quantum computers threaten to crack our current #encryption methods wide open. As these powerful machines edge closer, the race is on to develop "quantum-proof" algorithms. But understanding this complex math is rare.

Day 19th of the #Quantum30 Challenge - Cohort 05 journey! Today, I had the incredible opportunity to delve into "The Story of Shor's Algorithm, Straight From the Source" with Peter Shor himself. Shor's Algorithm is one of the most revolutionary developments in the field of quantum computing. Developed by Peter Shor, this algorithm has the potential to break widely-used cryptographic systems, such as RSA encryption, by efficiently factoring large integers. This breakthrough leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations at speeds unattainable by classical computers. Hearing the story of Shor's Algorithm directly from Peter Shor provided invaluable insights into the origins, development, and implications of this groundbreaking work. It was fascinating to learn about the challenges he faced, the breakthroughs he achieved, and the future prospects of quantum computing. Key Takeaways: - Transformative Potential: Shor's Algorithm underscores the transformative potential of quantum computing in fields like cryptography, cybersecurity, and beyond. - Quantum Advantage: The efficiency of Shor's Algorithm exemplifies the concept of "quantum advantage," where quantum computers can solve specific problems exponentially faster than classical counterparts. - Future Implications: As quantum technology continues to evolve, the importance of developing quantum-resistant cryptographic methods becomes increasingly critical. I'm excited to continue this journey, exploring the frontiers of quantum technology and its profound impact on our world. Stay tuned for more insights and discoveries! #QuantumComputing #ShorsAlgorithm #PeterShor #CyberSecurity #ScienceExploration

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Intro to Quantum Computing from O'Reilly! This is an introduction to quantum computing meant for those in IT, cybersecurity, and related fields who might not have substantial math or physics background. The concepts will be explored with minimal mathematics. This would include basic concepts, the use of the Bloch sphere, quantum superposition, and quantum gates. Particular attention will be paid to practical applications such as the impact on cryptography and security, Quantum resistant cryptography and the NISTIR 8240. Quantum computing is fast approaching a practical reality. QC impacts the future of computing as well as security issues. QC will render current asymmetric cryptographic methods insecure. That requires QC resistant algorithms. IT personnel and cybersecurity professionals must have at least a basic conceptual understanding of quantum computing. #quantumcomputing #quantumphysics #quantumtechnology
