My talk from NapulETH 🇮🇹🌋 is up! TLDR: quantum networks + trusted hardware can do some very interesting and novel protocols! (E.g. single round sealed auctions) youtu.be/Rb_9sZB2S4o
NapulETH 🇮🇹🌋 talk by our very own Lev Stambler: Quantum cryptography is undergoing a new renaissance, where commoditised quantum hardware meets the latest generation of classical cryptographic devices, giving birth to a new class of secure protocols 🚀⚛️
This was a whole-team effort for us at NeverLocal: Lev Stambler ideated the cryptographic protocol, FRG implemented it in TEE-Rust, Nicola Pinzani and I took care of quantum hardware design and assembly, gaudenzio.eth advised how to present it for maximum effect. ⚛️🚀
🛰 The future of cryptography might not be noise-free, but rather built from it. At QCrypt 2025 in Sanya, our very own Lev Stambler showed how imperfections in quantum hardware could be used to implement information-theoretic one-time programs, turning a bug into a feature.
🛰 Announcing: Quantum x Crypto #NeverLocal is launching a series of live conversations on cryptographic applications of quantum technology. Our first episode will be "BB84 in Dialogue": An open discussion between Nicola Pinzani and gaudenzio.eth on the origins of quantum
One of entanglement’s manifestations is cryptographic security, it shelters secrecy in the world we measure. This dialogue follows that thread and sets out a simple protocol (E91) where the test becomes the guarantee. Read the full piece NeverLocal . blog.neverlocal.com/E91-dialogue/
We had a fantastic time opening the Web3Privacy Now event this morning at Devconnect ARG - the first Ethereum World’s Fair! We talked about how we can safeguard Ethereum from quantum threats, but also about the new opportunities which quantum technology will bring to crypto. Watch this space! ⚛️🚀 NeverLocal
