| The impacts of quantum engineering and quantum information processing (QIP) are just beginning to reverberate throughout the technology industry. As the space begins to mature, many of the technologies are ripe for commercialization. In the case of quantum cryptography, they are already being brought to market.
The speaker will describe the evolution of quantum information processing; the potential impacts of such technologies in the 21st century; and will explain how MagiQ’s quantum cryptography solution operates (Quantum Private Network.)
The presentation will also describe other approaches, current market feedback from companies deploying quantum cryptography, and discuss the role that service providers can play in delivering this solution to the marketplace.
This presentation will address:
• The history of quantum information processing
• What near and longer term potential exists for commercial applications of QIP
• Historical value and analysis of previous cryptographic methods
• The security threats to today’s networks
• The technical aspects of quantum key distribution
• In depth architecture of quantum key distribution
• Physical layer
• Photonics layer
• Software protocols
• Interfaces to classical cryptography
• Why quantum key distribution is needed
• Sample deployments and configurations of MagiQ’s quantum key distribution product, the Quantum Private Network (QPN) 7505
• Market readiness
• Extensive demo of a live QPN 7505 system
Speakers:
• Dr. Audrius Berzanskis, VP Security Engineering
• Andrew Hammond, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development
