About Chris Ervan

Chris, CEO & Co-Founder of KETS, has been building prototype quantum communication systems and exploring their commercial potential for the last 18 years. After starting as a Lecturer in Quantum Engineering at the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs (QETLabs) at the University of Bristol – where he helped to pioneer a next-gen chip-based approach to quantum encryption – he’s now commercialising this approach in the quantum start-up KETS. At KETS, we develop quantum-safe chip-based encryption to protect critical data from all advanced computer attacks. Chris holds a PhD from the Institute for Quantum Computing and a BASc Honours in Systems Design Engineering both from the University of Waterloo.

Organisation

Quantum computing is advancing rapidly and will be able to crack all the existing protections on our data and privacy. KETS develops quantum-safe chip-based encryption to protect critical data from all advanced computer attacks.

What is the lecture "Quantum Key Distribution Cyber Security"?
This presentation by Chris Ervan at the Quantum Security Defence World Symposium covers key concepts, challenges, and developments in quantum cyber security, post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution.
What is quantum cyber security?
Quantum cyber security applies quantum mechanical principles to protect digital communications and data. It covers quantum key distribution, post-quantum cryptography, and quantum-safe network design.
What is post-quantum cryptography?
Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to remain secure against attacks from quantum computers. NIST finalised its first PQC standards in 2024.
