Quantum Computing Developments for Defeating Encryption and Other Vulnerable Cryptosecurity Targets: 5G, GPS and Certificate Authorities

Quantum computing has been covered extensively by the press for the past five years. Much of the focus has been on defeating encryption in part because many readers fear government decrypting their electronic communications. The reality if a fully developed quantum computing device were used today, the best a very skilled cryptography team could decrypt per day with a single device would be limited to hundreds of the 300 billion encrypted messages transmitted per day over the internet.

So who should worry about quantum computing and cyber warfare attacks or critical infrastructure, government servers and national cyber based economy? For starters: 5G networks, GPS satellites, X.509 Cerficate Authorities and more.

What is needed now is the development of counter measures to potential (and realistic) quantum computing cyber attacks. To accomplish this and to understand the timelines of potential attacks requires an understanding on quantum computing development metrics and how quantum specific circuits specifically designed to defeat today's cryptography would be developed.

This webinar address (light on the physics and math):

  1. The challenge of understanding quantum computing and building quantum computers (light on quantum physics)

  2. Relating quantum physics and math to quantum computing hardware: qubits, entanglement and interference to gates and circuits (light on both the physics and math)

  3. Understanding defeating cryptography with quantum computing and it's more than just defeating encryption

  4. Understanding the encryption busting Shor's Factoring Algorithm explained (again light on math)

  5. The proposed digital and hybrid: quantum circuit design to take a public encryption key as input and generating the private key made as output

  6. Quantum computing hardware options under development by IBM, Google, Honeywell and D-Wave and the mythical or so called move to "Quantum Supremacy"

  7. Defeating Encryption with an "Application Specific Quantum Circuit" or so-called NISQ devices

  8. Quantum Safe Algorithms (QSA) and the proposed Quantum Internet (or QKD networks): Myths vs. Realities

  9. Understanding weaponizing quantum computers and likely national cyber attack targets: 5G, Satellite GPS and Certificate Authorities. Not a Myth but a Reality

  10. A summary of the quantum computing metrics that government, e-commerce vendors, cellular operators, private enterprises and others need to monitor in order to timely develop counter-terrorism measures.
