Turing Award Recognition
The ACM awards Bennett and Brassard the highest honor in computer science.
Micius Satellite Success
China's Micius satellite demonstrates intercontinental QKD, proving the protocol's scalability.
First Experimental Proof
The first successful QKD transmission is conducted over a distance of 30 centimeters.
BB84 Protocol Published
Bennett and Brassard propose the first quantum key distribution protocol.
Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have been awarded the Turing Award for their foundational work in quantum cryptography, specifically the 1984 BB84 protocol. Their research established the first encryption method secured by the laws of physics rather than mathematical complexity, a breakthrough now central to global cybersecurity strategy.
