Public key cryptography has raised cryptography from a curiosity, useful
mainly to governments, to its status as a pillar for modern communications.
But above this magnificent throne hangs a sword of Damocles in
the form of quantum computing, motivating the development of new approaches.
Some have turned to physics, developing systems with security guarantees
based on natural laws. The most popular is Quantum Key Distribution, but
its complexity has spurred the development of alternatives.
We examine KKD, an entirely electronic system, charting the attacks and
countermeasures that have been introduced since its introduction in 2006.
Coffee and cookies will be served 15 minutes before the start of the seminar
