Quantum Whistleblowing: Enabling Truly Anonymous Reporting

Whistleblowing plays a critical role in exposing misconduct, from unsafe workplaces to corruption and abuse of power. Yet reporting wrongdoing can carry serious personal risks. Even when platforms promise anonymity, potential whistleblowers are still at risk of getting exposed eventually.
In this webinar, we explore how quantum internet technologies could enable a new generation of anonymous reporting systems.
Most current whistleblowing platforms rely on encryption, certification, and trusted operators to protect anonymity. While effective, these approaches still depend on trust in the system and its governance.
Quantum communication offers a different approach. By embedding anonymity directly into communication protocols, quantum networks can enable information-theoretically secure reporting: This means that once a message is submitted, the sender cannot be traced back by any of the message recipients.
Led by TU Berlin researcher Frederik Hahn, the session will introduce the concept of quantum-enabled whistleblowing, discuss the network architectures that could support it, and examine its maturity as a quantum internet use case.
Participation is free, but registration is required and places are limited.
Organised by the Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA), this webinar is part of a series exploring emerging quantum internet use cases and their potential impact.
