Beyond the Hype: Y2Q – The end of encryption as we know it?

In this episode – the second of a two-parter – Oliver Cronk and I talk to Denis Mandich, CTO of Qrypt, a company that creates quantum-secure encryption products.

Our conversation covers the perils of bad random number generation, which undermines our security protocols, and the growing threat that Quantum Computers will ultimately render our current cryptographic techniques useless – an event dubbed ‘Y2Q’, in a nod to the Y2K issue we faced over twenty years ago.

Beyond the Hype: Quantum Computing – hype and not hype simultaneously?

In this episode, we talk about Quantum Computing with Denis Mandich, CTO of Qrypt. As well as discussing quantum physics, we cover the practical aspects of cloud-based Quantum Computers and what can be achieved today through circuit design. Finally, we look to the future to discuss the impact this breakthrough technology is likely to have.

Beyond the Hype: Blockchain is dead, long live blockchain

In this episode, I’m joined by colleagues Oliver Cronk, Peter Chamberlin and Chris Price for a lively discussion about blockchain, including the mechanics of bitcoin, the proof of work consensus, and technologies which are blockchain-like, but prefer not to use that term. Finally, we ask ourselves the question, is blockchain just hype?
