With quantum computers breaking most if not all of our currently used public-key cryptography, #quantum #cryptography offers a secure alternative. “Secure” as in information-theoretically secure, i.e., unbreakable.

For anybody interested in the current developments in this field, the research group I work at published an interesting article about their current work in the journal #PRX Quantum:

Hey all! I just joined the fediverse and found that it's a nice thing to start with an #introduction.

My name is Nico Alt, you might don't know me but if you do, it's most probably due to the stuff I did at #Briar and #FDroid. Currently I'm not active there but instead focus on university/#physics stuff where I contribute my little part to #quantum #cryptography (multi-party #BBM92 time-bin coding, to be more specific). Other interests are #p2p and #tor, feel free to talk to me about them!

Don't be scared of actually reading the paper “Scalable Networks for Simultaneous Pairwise Quantum Key Distribution via Entanglement-Based Time-Bin Coding”!

Thanks to @rysiek for pointing me towards infosec.exchange without knowing it. After months of following people through various different browser tabs I figured that it's a good thing to finally open an account on this fediverse thing here.
