Podcast | Whispering Quantum Keys … Is QKD Still Viable as PQC? — with LuxQuanta 2 min read We cover post-quantum cryptography (PQC) regularly on this show, focusing on the new math-based ciphers that will secure the Internet as quantum computing becomes more powerful. But what about physics-based encryption or quantum key distribution (QKD)? Is that still a thing? We examine how exploiting the laws of quantum physics can securely exchange encryption keys over a fiber and explore the benefits of the newer continuous-variable QKD. CVQKD leverages off-the-shelf telecom components for affordability, integrates with existing data networks, achieves higher key-generation rates, and reaches distances of up to 100 kilometers without requiring dark fibers. Real-world demos include securely linking hospitals in Madrid for remote consultations via Telefonica's network, and there could be a future where QKD devices are integrated into our home routers, democratising quantum security. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Vanesa Diaz from LuxQuanta.Guest: Vanesa Diaz from LuxQuanta Topics Digital Transformation The Post-Quantum World on Apple Podcasts Quantum computing capabilities are exploding, causing disruption and opportunities, but many technology and business leaders don’t understand the impact quantum will have on their business. Protiviti is helping organisations get post-quantum ready. In our bi-weekly podcast series, The Post-Quantum World, Protiviti Associate Director and host Konstantinos Karagiannis is joined by quantum computing experts to discuss hot topics in quantum computing, including the business impact, benefits and threats of this exciting new capability.
