Dr.
Randy Kuang
Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Quantropi Inc., Ottawa, Canada
Biography: Randy
holds a doctorate in quantum physics. His research findings have been
published in top international journals and named “Kuang’s semi-classical
formalism” by NASA in 2012. With a career spanning IT, including with Nortel
as senior network researcher & developer, he co-founded inBay Technologies
in 2009, serving as CTO of the cybersecurity platform and co-founded
Quantropi Inc.in 2018, serving as Chief Scientist. As the first recipient of
a patent for two-level authentication (2011), Randy is a prolific inventor,
with 30+ U.S. patents in broad technology fields, such as WiMAX, optical
networks, multi-factor identity authentication, quantum cryptography, and
post-quantum cryptography.
Carleton University, Canada Biography: Michel
Barbeau is a professor of Computer Science. He got a Bachelor's (Universite
de Sherbrooke, Canada ’85), a master’s and a Ph.D. in Computer Science (Universite
de Montreal, Canada ’87 & ’91. From ’91 to ’99, he was a professor at
Universite de Sherbrooke. During the ’98-’99 academic year, he was a
visiting researcher at the University of Aizu, Japan. Since 2000, he has
worked at Carleton University, School of Computer Science, Canada. His main
topic of expertise is computer networks: architecture and protocols.
Specific research interests include underwater communications and networks,
flying drone networks, quantum networks and network control systems. Michel
Barbeau is the director of the School of Computer Science at Carleton
University.
As the founding root of Quantropi, Randy proposed the universal quantum safe
cryptography using Quantum Permutation Pad or QPP applied to both classical
computing and quantum computing systems. The typical classical
implementation has been achieved digital Quantum Key distribution over
internet benchmarked by Deutsche Telekom. By randomizing and derandomizing
the reference phase space of coherent communications, Randy invented
coherent-based CTF-QKD and further extends it for quantum secure QXD for
infrastructure. He recently invented new quantum safe public key
cryptographic algorithms for key exchange and digital signature.
