Key takeaways
- Post-quantum cryptography and QKD solve different problems, PQC secures software and protocols while QKD secures physical key distribution over dedicated links
- Government and defense buyers are moving faster on QKD deployment than commercial enterprises, who are waiting for PQC standards to settle
- National testbeds in the US, China, and Europe are being used to validate quantum network hardware before wide rollout, not just for research
- Successful QKD case studies so far cluster around finance and government data centers where point to point links justify the extra cost
Summary
John Prisco, President and CEO of Safe Quantum, a quantum security consulting firm is interviewed by Yuval Boger. John and Yuval talk about the maturity of PQC, QKD, quantum networks, and their timing overlap, national and international testbeds for quantum security, successful case studies and more.
