Supported by Turing Award Goes to Inventors of Quantum Cryptography In the 1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard created a new kind of encryption that would be impregnable. In the mid-1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard invented an encryption technology that could theoretically never be broken. Called quantum cryptography, their technology relied on quantum mechanics, the strange and p...
The narrative presents quantum cryptography as a timely and necessary solution to the looming threat of quantum computing, framing Bennett and Brassard as visionaries whose work is now coming into its own. This is a strong version of the story—it acknowledges the historical context, the scientific breakthrough, and the practical urgency driven by technological advancements. However, the framing leans heavily on the idea of an impending crisis (quantum computers breaking encryption) to elevate th...
