The UK’s GCHQ delivers a brutally blunt assessment of quantum key distribution: QKD protocols address only the problem of agreeing keys for encrypting data. Ubiquitous on-demand modern services (such as verifying identities and data integrity, establishing network sessions, providing access control, and automatic software updates) rely more on authentication and integrity mechanisms — such as … Read More “GCHQ on Quantum Key Distribution” »

This paper wins “best abstract” award: “Quantum Tokens for Digital Signatures,” by Shalev Ben David and Or Sattath: Abstract: The fisherman caught a quantum fish. “Fisherman, please let me go,” begged the fish, “and I will grant you three wishes.” The fisherman agreed. The fish gave the fisherman a quantum computer, three quantum signing tokens … Read More “Quantum Tokens for Digital Signatures” »
