Title: "Quantum Safe Cryptography"
Abstract: Our current public key cryptographic infrastructure, to access the Internet, message each other, etc., might be at risk in the future years with the advent of cryptographically-relevant quantum computers. The risk can be tackled using quantum and classical (post-quantum) cryptographic, solutions and the concept is encompassed in the term Quantum Safe Cryptography. In this seminar we will present the current alternatives and we will play with some of the existing post-quantum open-source tools to familiarize ourselves with the incoming algorithms.
Bio Paula Alonso: Paula Alonso is a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof. Valerio Pruneri, and Dr. Luis Trigo at ICFO. She specializes in the practicality of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and its combination with both Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and QRNG, explores theoretically and experimentally beyond QKD protocols like Quantum Oblivious Transfer, and collaborates in multiple European quantum-safe projects like the Quantum Secure Networks Partnership (QSNP). Paula is a physicist that holds a master's degree in Quantum Science and Technology. She conducted her master thesis at SandboxAQ, a Google spin-off
Bio Luis Trigo: Luis Trigo Vidarte is a post-doc researcher in the Optoelectronics group at ICFO. He obtained his PhD at Institut d’Optique/Sorbonne Université in Paris studying practical implementation aspects of CV-QKD technologies, including fiber, space and chips. He is currently interested in cryptography protocols beyond QKD (quantum oblivious transfer, secure multiparty computation...), practical aspects of quantum-safe cryptography and photonic computing.
Instructions for students: Students should bring a laptop. We will use Docker containers during the session, hence it is better to install it in advanced. Installation links:
