My latest article titled ‘Quantum Computing and Password Authentication’ was published by NY-based aiTech Trend. https://aitechtrend.com/ Below is the gist.
-Quantum computing, however powerful, cannot place our volition and memory under its control. Conversely our volition and memory could help force quantum computing to work just for benefitting people.
-Removal of the password would bring catastrophic disasters.
-Our password headache may well be the consequence of ‘Use of Impracticable Password’ and ‘Non-Use of Practicable Password’
-It’s feasible to bring a healthy second life to legacy password systems
-We are coming up with a Password Manager powered by Expanded Password System that enables us to make use of our pleasant episodic image memory as the solid secret credentials.
-Expanded Password systems will continue to contribute to safe cyberspace even when quantum computing has destroyed the part of identity authentication that depends on public-key schemes.
By the way, what we say about Quantum Computing can also be said about Artificial Intelligence.
Assume that we (and our descendants) are put into an AI-dominated world. The last bastion that we are able to rely on for protecting us from the perils of uncontrolled AI would be our volition and memory that will continue to stay outside the realm of the AI.
Attempts to kick out our volition and memory from digital identity and identity assurance would only be insanely suicidal.
