Description
Countering the growing level of cybercrime requires an ever-innovative approach. Quantum Technologies propose solutions for cryptographic key exchange and random number generation that are radically new compared to the algorithmic approach, with which they can be integrated to achieve the highest levels of security. The state of the art and perspectives in this area will be presented. The status of quantum computing in cryptanalysis will also be presented.

| 11:40 11:50 | Paolo Villoresi, University of Padova (Italy) Introduction to Quantum Technologies for secure information from an Italian perspective AbstractItaly has been active in the development of quantum communications protocols for more than two decades, with groups of researchers perfecting different techniques and fields of application. Quantum communication protocols are also complemented by research and development at a very advanced level in the areas of quantum meteorology, experimental components development and the establishment of a nationwide infrastructure to enable communication on a large scale.In addition, our Country is also active in the research and development of quantum computing. This includes both a part of theoretical study of algorithms and is an experimental part for its implementation, in different platforms. Given the crucial significance of quantum computing in cyberattacks, this area is also of strategic importance in the field of cryptography. |
| 11:50 12:05 | Fabio Sciarrino, University of Roma La Sapienza (Italy) Entanglement for quantum key distribution AbstractQuantum key distribution—exchanging a random secret key relying on a quantum mechanical resource—is the core feature of secure quantum networks. Entanglement-based protocols offer additional layers of security and scale favorably with quantum repeaters, but the stringent requirements set on the photon source have made their use situational so far. We will briefly review the current implementations of an entanglement-based quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol and the future perspectives. |
