Summary
John Prisco, president, and CEO of Quantum Xchange (quantumxc.com), provides a very detailed overview and analysis of the ever-changing data security industry, and how quantum computers are forcing every business and government agency to rethink how they send and receive sensitive data.
Quantum Xchange provides impeccable defense to commercial enterprises and government agencies that seek to keep their high-value assets safe and secure currently, and on into the future. As quantum computers will significantly change how organizations secure their most sensitive data, Quantum Xchange will continue to be a sought-after partner for any entity that requires the most premium security.
John Prisco has over 30 years of solid experience in the areas of cybersecurity, telecommunications, and quantum physics. He has championed successful revenue growth and provided quality leadership and management to a multitude of companies such as Triumfant, GeoVantage, and Ridgeway Systems. Prisco is devoted to Quantum Xchange's mission, and its valued customers, partners, investors, and the many quality employees who have helped make Quantum Xchange the gold standard in data security.
Prisco discusses how his company is a respected provider of unbreakable quantum keys and secure communications, and how they are enabling organizations to send unbreakable data over any distance utilizing the laws of quantum physics. He elaborates on quantum key distribution, which is a secure communication process that implements a cryptographic protocol involving components of quantum mechanics. Via quantum key distribution, two parties can produce a shared random secret key known only to them, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. As Prisco explains, the keys will change their state if an unauthorized party were to attempt to eavesdrop on them. Anything intercepted will be completely unusable by the breaching party and will not unencrypt any of the secure data whatsoever. The security expert gives a thorough analysis of the process that parties use to decide upon their encryption, as he details the transmission of photons, overall security, and the classification known as teleportation.
Prisco discusses the future of computing and progress that has been made in a relatively short time, and what advances are on the horizon. Large prime numbers that form the structure and base of today's public-private key encryption protocols, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) will be easily and quickly factored by quantum computers and will leave mission-critical data exposed, and very much at risk.
Prisco states that with their system, even one photon that is tampered with will be evident to the end user. He explains quantum random number generators that work on photonic principles and provides an in-depth analysis of the wave nature of light that impacts the security of data in the process. Further, the data security executive discusses the future of data security and how his company, Quantum Xchange, will continue to address the shortcomings inherent with modern-day encryption.

| 0:07.0 | Future Technologies is to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. |
| 0:17.0 | Or just around the corner, for Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, |
| 0:21.0 | 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more. |
| 0:25.0 | Hello, this is Richard Jacobs with the Future Tech Podcast. My guest is John Prisco. |
| 0:32.0 | He's the CEO of Quantum XC or Quantum Exchange. |
| 0:36.0 | So John, thanks for coming. How you doing? |
| 0:38.0 | Very well, thanks. |
| 0:39.0 | Yeah. So tell me a little bit about quantum exchange. |
| 0:42.8 | You know, it looks like based on the news that you were able to achieve essentially a quantum connection or an unhackable communication line. |
| 0:51.2 | But tell me a little bit more first about the company and then we'll talk about the |
| 0:55.2 | achievement. |
| 0:56.2 | I'd be happy to. |
| 0:57.8 | So Quantum Exchange is a Quantum Communications Network and it uses quantum key |
| 1:05.1 | distribution to secure the channel. Basically what we're doing is sending optical |
| 1:12.0 | keys across dark fiber optics and those keys are almost impossible to |
| 1:19.7 | hack because they will change their state if somebody tries to eavesdrop on them. |
| 1:27.0 | And that is a property of physics. |
| 1:30.0 | So, you know, unlike current cryptography, which relies on it being very difficult to |
| 1:38.0 | factor large numbers into prime numbers, this is relying upon a law of physics and will be impervious to the coming |
| 1:48.8 | quantum computers. |
