Quantum Cryptography and managing its Threats and Opportunities

Quantum cryptography has traditionally been defined as the application of quantum mechanics to secure communication, with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) as its most recognized example. However, this lecture redefines and expands the scope of quantum cryptography by introducing groundbreaking innovations such as the Quantum Permutation Pad (QPP) and Quantum Encryption in Phase Space (QEPS). These advancements leverage quantum principles to address modern cryptographic challenges and secure critical infrastructure.
In this session, we will explore:
– The current landscape of quantum cryptography: Traditional definitions, applications like QKD, and their inherent limitations.
– Redefining quantum cryptography: How QPP introduces quantum-secure symmetric encryption through its matrix representation and asymmetric encryption via its arithmetic representation, alongside the versatility of QEPS in achieving infrastructure-level security.
– The intersection of quantum and post-quantum cryptography (PQC): Integrating classical cryptography with quantum principles to counter quantum threats effectively.
