94. What That Means with Camille: Quantum Encryption in Outer Space

<p>In this episode of Cyber Security Inside What That Means, Camille dives into next generation cryptography and quantum computing with Eddy Zervigon, CEO of Quantum Xchange and Independent Board Member. <span style="font-weight: 400;">The conversation covers:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  The new era of cryptography due to the advancement of quantum computing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  How two-factor authentication and the idea behind it is one solution to making things more secure.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  How satellites pose particular challenges but are also incredibly important to secure.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What thought leaders are doing now and where we are headed in this field.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">...and more. Don’t miss it!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The views and opinions expressed are those of the guests and author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Intel Corporation.</span></em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Here are some key takeaways:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  We are about to have a huge cryptographic migration due to quantum computing and advanced computing. This is because for a long time we’ve used basic math to encrypt data, and computers are now starting to be able to do the math to break the encryption. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  We are entering the post-quantum era, and we will need to develop new security protocols and security measures. If we don’t adapt, there could be catastrophic losses.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  There are two main approaches to solving this problem. The first is factoring a very large number into its two prime numbers using algorithms. Computers aren’t very good at that.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  The second is called quantum key distribution, which uses physics and photonic delivery. This is expensive a
