Quantum Technology, High Speed Encryption and Global Analysis of Networks
Abstract
The objectives of this research to address three aspects of complex communication networks. First, for point-to-point connections we will assess the resources for attacking state-of-the art block ciphers, specifically the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with standardized key lengths and other AES finalists with a quantum computer. Second, we explore the integration of classical cryptographic techniques into the $\alpha\eta$ scheme, and the potential of ``all-or nothing transforms'' to obtain a hybrid (classical-quantum) scheme with higher throughput than . Finally, we will apply curvature flow to complex communication networks in 3D in order to characterize their global topological and geometric properties. We will evolve networks under curvature flow with surgery to characterize its structure. We will examine curvature heat-maps to give new insight on the realization that positive curvature regions in networks signal load balance, while negative curvature regions identify congestion in the network.
