Prof. Vadim Makarov 2.9.2017
For millennia, people relied on cryptographic ciphers based on
mathematics. These always get broken from time to time and require replacement, as our computational abilities improve. A new kind of cryptography based on the laws of quantum physics is now being deployed, promising to solve the communication security problem forever.
The first speaker of our new series of Science Cafes is the one and only Quantum Hacker: Prof. Vadim Makarov works with quantum cryptography and heads the Quantum hacking lab at the University of Waterloo, Canada, where he and his students try to break implementations of quantum cryptography despite all the claims it is unbreakable (See his webpage: http://www.vad1.com/lab/).
Prof. Makarov was joined by panelists Shamil Alifov, data breach analyst at Kinkayo Pte Ltd and Jonna Järveläinen, researcher in information security management at the Turku School of Economics.
