RSA is Dead - Long Live BB84

Explore the future of cryptography in this 48-minute Devoxx conference talk. Delve into the impending threat of quantum computers to classical encryption algorithms, particularly RSA. Learn about Shor's algorithm and its ability to efficiently factorize numbers using quantum mechanics. Discover quantum-safe alternatives like BB84, which leverages the polarization of light photons for provable security. Gain insights into the Quantum Fourier Transform, parallel universes, and the weird world of quantum magic. Witness demonstrations of Shor's algorithm implementation using Q# and explore classical quantum-safe algorithms. Follow along as the speaker, James Birnie, an experienced software professional, guides you through complex concepts like CI, CD, and monolith splitting, while making the learning process engaging and fun.
