Quantum cryptography is a promising solution towards absolute security in long term cryptosystems. While the use of quantum cryptography in fiber optical networks gets significant advances, research on the application of quantum cryptography in mobile wireless network is still premature. In this paper, we analyze the interests of using quantum cryptography in 802.11 wireless networks, and propose a scheme integrating quantum cryptography in 802.11i security mechanisms for the distribution of the encryption keys. The use of an apparatus network to provide alternative line-of-sight paths is also discussed.

The information economy and the information society heavily depend on information security. Developing an inclusive and reliable information society should avoid any infrastructure or security divides. To master information related risks and cyberthreats, and to bring effective information security solutions to the end-users, a global and interdisciplinary approach is required. This paper considers information security issues in a holistic way, putting the individual and the question of responsibility at the core of the debate. It also points out main stakes and challenges that governments have to face when developing a national cybersecurity policy, curriculum and culture in regards of local and international needs.
