The Next Security Layer: Entanglement Networks for the Age of AI and Beyond – Aliro Quantum Triple-T
The recent AI-assisted cryptanalysis of HAWK, a post-quantum cryptography candidate, highlights how quickly computational security assumptions can be challenged. In this 10-minute talk, Michael Cubeddu, CTO and Co-Founder of Aliro, will examine how AI uncovered a significant weakness in HAWK in roughly 60 hours after years of expert review, what that means for long-term security planning, and how entanglement networks can complement PQC by protecting critical data using the laws of physics rather than computational hardness assumptions.
Michael is Co-Founder, CTO, and Board Member at Aliro, The Quantum
Networking CompanyR spun out of Harvard in 2019 building the software
stack for quantum networks. At Aliro, he leads research, intellectual property,
and customer and partner relations. Michael is a published author in quantum
research, and a co-inventor of several patents in quantum security, computing
software, compilers, error correction, and quantum network protocols — all
driving the deployment of commercial-grade product lines at Aliro. He is
actively involved in the QED-C Standards & Performance Metrics TAC, and
serves as the liaison between QED-C and ITU-T for quantum key distribution
standards development. Michael is a thought leader in quantum secure
communications, entanglement distribution, control software, and quantum
network simulation, leading the design and development of a revolutionary
quantum internet stack.
