Quantum Computing: Random Number Generator & Quantum Safe Digital Certification

Bhairav Mehta, a Principal Manager at Microsoft in Azure Core Operating System and Security, speaks about random number generation in quantum computing and post-quantum computing.

In recent years, there has been a substantial amount of research on quantum computers – machines that exploit quantum mechanical phenomena to solve mathematical problems that are difficult or intractable for conventional computers. If large-scale quantum computers are ever built, they will be able to break many of the public-key cryptosystems currently in use. This would seriously compromise the confidentiality and integrity of digital communications on the Internet and elsewhere. The goal of post-quantum cryptography (also called quantum-resistant cryptography) is to develop cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers, and can interoperate with existing communications protocols and networks.
