Abstract 1: All forms of encryption require a seed key. It is essential that these be unknown by an adversary and not predictable, yet until now there has been no means of efficiently producing such certifiably random keys. I will explain how one may use quantum entanglement and superposition to produce these certifiably random keys, and they can be used for encryption algorithms and quantum communication. I welcome any questions on the underlying science, differences between other forms of (pseudo)random key generation, and other applications including QKD.
Abstract 2: Once a sufficiently powerful quantum computer is developed, all of our current public key cryptography (e.g. RSA , DSA, ECC) will be obsolete. For this reason, NIST is holding a competition to standardize new public key cryptography that is resistant to quantum attacks called Post-Quantum Cryptography. In this talk, we introduce the new forms of cryptography (e.g. lattice-based, code-based, multivariate, isogeny-based) that will become the new public key standard.
