Quantum Money and Self-Destructing Signatures — with NTT
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of one-shot signatures in quantum computing for digital finance and secure communication.
A one-shot signature is a new quantum computing tool that lets people verify information publicly using a quantum signing key that destroys itself after use. This “proof of destruction” makes sure the key can only be used once, which could lead to cryptographic solutions that classical math could not achieve. Host Konstantinos Karagiannis talks with Omri Shmueli, a cryptographer and postdoctoral research fellow at NTT Research , about how one-shot signatures might change digital finance and secure communication. Shmueli shares how this technology could make decentralized cryptocurrency possible without a blockchain or help solve the big scalability problems of current blockchains by letting users create their own unique quantum money. The episode also looks at how unclonable quantum keys could give users proof that not only do they have a secret key, but they are the only person in the world who does.
