DEF CON 9 (2001),
July 15, 2001, 10 a.m.
(50 minutes)
The subject is Quantum Cryptography, and the scope of the paper will be targeted toward a lay audience with a basic understanding of physics (what is an electron, a photon, etc.), computers (that they deal with binary information), and cryptography (that combining data with noise makes the data unreadable unless the noise is removed).
I will move quickly and at a basic level through the quantum physics involved and the cryptographic principles and leave the audience with an understanding of the state and potential of quantum computing and quantum cryptography.

David Gessel spent seven years of his childhood hammering steel in front of a coal-fired forge as a blacksmith�s apprentice. He then went to MIT to get a degree in physics where he focused on fusion, robotics, and precision engineering. Switching coasts, David joined Apple�s Advanced Technology Group and worked on a wide range of projects including pen-based computers, LCD technology, and digital cameras. David left Apple to join Interval Research Corp, researching rapid design/prototyping technologies for mechanical systems. After a few startups, David is now a consultant to Teradyne, Inc. and holds positions at Delta-e, LLC; PicoStar, LLC; idbias; and Nebucon, Inc.
