GCHQ on Quantum Key Distribution

Schneier on Security

The UK's GCHQ delivers a brutally blunt assessment of quantum key distribution: QKD protocols address only the problem of agreeing keys for encrypting data. QKD also seems unsuitable for some of the grand future challenges such as securing the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, social media, or cloud applications.

MY TAKE: Why monetizing data lakes will require applying ‘attribute-based’ access rules to encryption

The Last Watchdog

They outlined why something called attribute-based encryption, or ABE, has emerged as the basis for a new form of agile cryptography that we will need in order to kick digital transformation into high gear. Data lakes continue to swell because each second of every day, every human, on average, is creating 1.7 megabytes of fresh data.
