side channel attack
Attack that does not concern the theoretical security method. It seeks out and exploits weaknesses in the practical means of implementation: human procedure, external behavior (computing time) of software or hardware (electromagnetic radiation, noise).
Vernam cipher; Vernam cipher/one-time pad
Symmetrical encryption based on the logical function XOR (exclusive OR) using unique (ephemeral) keys made of random bits that are the same size as the messages. This encryption has been shown to be tamper-proof (ITS), but difficult to implement due to the impossibility of truly secretly exchanging the encryption keys used (or disposable masks) between sender and receiver.
confidentilité persitante; forward secrecy
Term used in the QSC white paper, cryptographic...

...Typology of DQC players
Research and development in the DQC industry
This group includes spinoff SMEs that are pioneers and leaders in DQC. We note the disappearance of one of them in 2009: SmartQuantum.
IDQ – Id Quantique (Switzerland), SeQureNet (France), MagiQ (United States), QuintessenceLabs (Australia), Qutools (Germany)
