World-leaders in Cryptography: Gilles Brassard
ASecuritySite Podcast
Gilles has been a full Professor at the Université de Montréal for more than 45 years. He laid the foundations of quantum cryptography at a time when no one could have predicted that the quantum information revolution would usher in a multi-billion-dollar industry, much less that the United Nations would proclaim 2025 to be the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. He is also among the inventors of quantum teleportation, which is one of the most fundamental pillars of the theory of quantum information. In addition to this, his research focuses on areas of classical...
