#Cybersecurity#Encryption#QuantumComputing: "A prominent cryptography expert has told New Scientist that a US spy agency could be weakening a new generation of algorithms designed to protect against hackers equipped with quantum computers.
Daniel Bernstein at the University of Illinois Chicago says that the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is deliberately obscuring the level of involvement the US National Security Agency (NSA) has in developing new encryption standards for “post-quantum cryptography” (PQC). He also believes that NIST has made errors – …
either accidental or deliberate – in calculations describing the security of the new standards. NIST denies the claims."
I'll give away books and t-shirts at my #Devoxx session on #quantumcomputing with #java on Thursday 11:50. (https://devoxx.be/talk/?id=39135)
Unsure how to do that though. I encourage participation, and I can give a book/t-shirt to a good question/comment.
But I also want to help devs that are more shy, so how should I decide who gets a book/t-shirt?
#quantum#physics theorists think their fantasies are beautiful, but they are butt ugly.
The real beauty of the reality behind a two-channel Bell test (which is EASILY proven to be CLASSICAL PHYSICS) is that you can mark ANY ANGLE on the polarizers as zero. You simply have to be sure to mark it the same on both of them.
My god, the CRIME that has been perpetrated by the quantum physics community. It really is a crime IMO. Do they realize they have DESTROYED THE EDUCATIONS of THOUSANDS?
Don't you realize that one day it is going to be revealed that a #QuantumComputing device is no more than a bizarrely fashioned hybrid digital-analog computer?
(And that it should always have been obvious that hybrid computers could do the same thing, anyway, implying that NUMERICAL algorithms probably could do it. Yes, how about searching a database, USING A NUMERICAL ALGORITHM!)
I think there will be yet another "quantum leap" due to the 3 points I mentioned initially.
And, as I like to add, there has been a big breakthrough in #QuantumComputing (QC) this year, too. - So far completely unrealited from #AI development. The combination of #LLM technologie and QC has yet the potential for another "quantum leap" in non-linear development.
The only thing I cannot fathom at all, is how a breakthrough in...
Fuck. I finally caught COVID. Even as much as I stayed masked at Quantum Week last week (taking off only to eat and only after verifying CO2 levels), there were still 1400 people and I'd guess less than 1% wore masks.
It took testing four times for it to catch my strain, too.
If you were at #QCE23, please please please test and test repeatedly.
#Cybersecurity#Signal#Encryption#QuantumComputing: "The Signal Protocol is a set of cryptographic specifications that provides end-to-end encryption for private communications exchanged daily by billions of people around the world. After its publication in 2013, the Signal Protocol was adopted not only by Signal but well beyond. Technical information on the Signal Protocol can be found in the specifications section of our docs site.
Today we are happy to announce the first step in advancing quantum resistance for the Signal Protocol: an upgrade to the X3DH specification which we are calling PQXDH. With this upgrade, we are adding a layer of protection against the threat of a quantum computer being built in the future that is powerful enough to break current encryption standards.
This post is written to introduce this work to non-experts, and will review what quantum computing is and the challenges it presents for current cryptographic algorithms, before providing a high level overview of how we are adapting our specifications to answer these challenges. If you would like to skip this summary and explore our PQXDH specification in depth, you can read our technical whitepaper here."
@xgranade@irenes I only skimmed it, but the post seems pretty good to me. There IS a lot of debate about how far away large-scale FT systems are, but I don't think 10 years is unreasonable.
My own objection is that I think of weather forecasting as a Big Data problem, and we really don't have a viable plan for solving big data problems on #quantumComputing systems.
If you read the source code, it will give an explanation of how the #simulation works. I STRONGLY encourage close study of the source code, for the reader to see that it is legitimate.
This is perfectly serious stuff. The theorists have left out some necessary details of random process analysis they do not know are necessary, involving joint pdf and so forth.

Ein perfekter "Nährboden".

Fascinating article on Edward Fredkin who started in the Air Force and became a #Computer scientist trained by MIT, and full professor there without even an undergraduate degree.
Amongst the first to pioneer reversible computing - blowing my mind.
Fredkin and Toffoli 'set out in a seminal 1982 paper, a computer built...that might, theoretically at least, produce no waste heat and thus consume no energy'.
