Works across quantum algorithms and quantum-safe security, combining foundational results in information processing with programs that help organizations prepare cryptographic systems for future quantum capabilities.
arXivUniversity of WaterlooMosca’s work connects the capabilities of quantum computers with the security transition those capabilities motivate. His research on private quantum channels specifies how classical keys can protect quantum information. At Waterloo, he also helped create programs and industry connections for quantum-safe cryptography, including CryptoWorks21 and evolutionQ. That combination matters because technical security results and real-world migration solve different parts of the same problem. Inclusion recognizes both research and institution building, without predicting when encryption-breaking quantum computers will become available.
