Quantum-Safe-Internet

QSI的目标是培养一支世界级的博士研究人员(DRS)队伍，能够在要求极高的网络安全领域采取下一步关键步骤。我们的目标是通过为数据安全领域的实际应用开发新技术，在不同学科的战略选择的行业和学术合作伙伴之间建立牢固的持久联系。同时，我们还将通过合作的长期跨学科方法，将所有相关社区的专业知识结合起来，以解决量子时代安全通信的关键基本问题，以及其中的重要应用。计划中的培训网络将为新一代数据仓库提供研究和培训机会，从长远来看，他们将应对提供“量子安全互联网”的重大挑战，即不仅要安全地抵御经典攻击，而且要确保通信基础设施不受量子技术的攻击。今天的互联网安全严重依赖于计算复杂性假设，因此受到量子计算技术进步的严重威胁。事实上，我们最近见证了许多IT巨头在这一方向上的一波关键发展，例如谷歌、IBM、微软和英特尔。这尤其会危及需要长期安全的应用程序。随着越来越多的私人信息以数字方式存储和传递，例如电子健康记录，这类应用的数量正在持续增长，欧洲立法现在要求这些信息长期保持安全。这要求我们紧急开发和实施新的解决方案，正如我们计划在这个博士网络(DN)中所做的那样。

QSI aims at training a world-class cohort of doctoral researchers (DRs) capable of taking the next essential steps in the highly demanding area of cybersecurity. We aim to build strong lasting links between strategically selected industry and academic partners, in different disciplines, via the development of novel technologies for practical applications in data security. In parallel, we will also combine, via a collaborative long-term interdisciplinary approach, expertise in all relevant communities to address key fundamental problems in secure communications in the quantum era, and the important applications therein. The planned training network will provide research and training opportunities to a new generation of DRs, who, in the long-run, shall address the Grand Challenge of providing "Quantum-Safe Internet", i.e., a communication infrastructure that is secure against not only classical attacks but also thoseenabled by quantum technologies. Today's Internet security heavily relies on computational complexity assumptions, and as such is seriously threatened by advancements in quantum computing technologies. Indeed, we have recently witnessed a wave of key developments in this direction by a number of IT giants, e.g., Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Intel. This particularly jeopardizes applications that require long-term security. The number of such applications is continuously growing as more and more of our private information is stored and communicated in a digital way, e.g., electronic health records, which are now required by European legislation to remain secure for a long time. This requires us to urgently develop and implement new solutions, as we plan to do in this Doctoral Network (DN).
