Louis Salvail studied computer science at the university of Montreal where I got my Ph.D. in 1998 under the supervision of Gilles Brassard and Claude Crépeau. His main research interest is quantum cryptography.
Currently Dr. Salvail is a faculty member of the Université de Montréal. In 1998, Salvail came to the department of computer science at the University of Århus to work primarily on the development of a prototype for quantum key distribution. A center, called CKI, was established to support the experiment developed by a joint effort between the department of physics and computer science at the university of Århus.
Dr. Salvail is involved in the European project SECOQC as a research leader for the SECurity subproject. The project aims at implementing a global network for secure communication based on quantum key distribution. He is also involved in a project called QUSEP funded by the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation. QUSEP aims at demonstrating the possibility of using quantum cryptography in practical 2-party settings with secruity proven in the bounded quantum-storage model.
