PUBLIC KEY SECRET CODES ON THE INTERNET
These secret codes protect your credit card information!
MAKING PUBLIC KEY SECRET CODES
Making a Secret Code is as Easy as Multiplication: 15,485,863 • 32,452,843 = 502,560,280,658,509
BREAKING PUBLIC KEY SECRET CODES
Breaking a Secret Code is as Hard as Factoring: 502,560,280,658,509 = 15,485,863 • 32,452,843
FACTORING BIG NUMBERS IS VERY HARD!
If every particle in the Universe was a classicalcomputer running at full speed for the entire life ofthe Universe (about 12 billion years) that would bestill insufficient to factor a 2,000 digit number.
Your Credit Card Number Is Safe!
Or Is It???
Current Internet Encryption Uses 1,000 Digit Numbers.
CRACKING THE CODE: LIFE IMITATES ART
1992
Peter Shor, MIT
1994
Quantum Computer CanFactor a 2,000 Digit Number
In Less Than a Second!
HOW DOES A QUANTUM COMPUTER WORK?

A Car’s Odometer is Like aClassical Computer Register:It Shows Only One Six-Digit
Number at a Time.

A Quantum Odometer Can Store999,999 Six-Digit Numbers at One Time!

REALITY: National Institute of Standards and Technology
SMALL QUANTUM COMPUTER RUNS AN ATOMIC CLOCK
AT LSU WE DESIGN QUANTUM COMPUTER CHIPS
QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY
When Quantum Computers Come Online What WillKeep Our Credit Cards Safe on the Internet?
Quantum Cryptography!
ONE-TIME PAD PRIVATE SECRET KEY SYSTEM
Secret Code Invented by G.S.Vernan — An Army TelegraphOfficer During the Civil War.
Proven Unbreakable byClaude Shannon at BellLabs in the 1940’s.
Unbreakable by Even AQuantum Computer!
ALICE SENDS A COPY OF THE KEY TO BOB
ALICE BOBEVE
Problem: Eavesdropper Can Always Make a Copy of the Pad!

Problem: Eavesdropper Can Always Make a Copy of the Pad!
EVE CAN’T COPY A QUANTUM PAD!
HOW DOES A QUANTUM CRYPTO WORK?
In Classical Fiber OpticsNetworks Eve Can Always Steala Little of the Light and Makea Copy of the Key.
EVE CAN’T COPY A QUANTUM PHOTONWITHOUT DESTROYING THE INFORMATION
YOU CAN BUY A QUANTUM CRYPTO SYSTEM!
THE QUANTUM INTERNET IS HERE!
Canary Islands
Boston
Switzerland
We could tell youwhat it is about.
But then, ofcourse, we wouldhave to kill you.
THE QUANTUM SKYNET IS HERE!
In 2008 — Austrian ScientistsTransmitted Single Photons to aJapanese Communications Satelliteand Back.
Americans Have a Similar Project —Which is TOP SECRET! The Goal isTo Provide SECRET CODES for USSpy Satellites.
LSU DESIGNS ROUTERS FOR THE QUANTUMINTERNET AND MODELS ATMOSPHERIC
TRANSMISSION FOR SKYNET
THE FUTURE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!
