Spiller took part in a public debate about the future of cyber security. Part of the York Festival of Ideas, the event (20/06/15) was organised by the University of York in partnership with the Institution of Engineering and Technology. The debate aimed to highlight the increased need for more sophisticated methods of online security, and to explore the potential that new applications such as quantum encryption can offer.

Description

In the context of a discussion which drew lots of questions from the audience and ranged from the increasing extent and sophistication of cyber criminality to the degree of personal responsibility associated with sharing personal data on social media, Spiller summarised recent developments in the field of quantum encryption and the commercialisation potential of QKD, the most mature of the technologies currently in existence.
