Quantum cryptography and biometrics
Description
On 3 February Siemens is offering members of the Royal Institute of Engineers KIVI NIRIA the opportunity to see what innovations have been developed from Siemens in the field of IT security.
Urbanisation, globalisation, demographic and environmental changes are bringing information and threats closer together. The protection of confidential information, such as trade or state secrets, customer/patient data, financial and strategic data and patent secrets, is becoming increasingly important. Physically and over the net. But 100% security was an impossible task. Until recently.
You will be comprehensively introduced to two important innovations during this activity:
* Quantum Key Distribution combined with conventional encryption or ciphering guarantees an unparalleled level of security when exchanging confidential information via data traffic. So that no one but the right persons can access it.
* Biometrics, not new, but still relatively little used identification method based on unique body characteristics. So that no one but the right person gets physical access
