In spring 2024, a research team from the LTCI laboratory at Télécom Paris, led by Télécom Paris, took up the challenge of free-space optical transmission security by demonstrating a chaos-based encryption method, and proved the applicability of this system over a distance of 30 metres in the far infrared.
The team demonstrated private optical communication in free space based on chaos synchronisation in one of the atmosphere's transparency windows. The chaotic light generated by a long-wave infrared quantum cascade laser is used to conceal the transmitted message, which is then decrypted using a double quantum cascade laser, thus guaranteeing greater confidentiality. This approach has an impact on the development of private transmissions in free space beyond conventional telecommunications networks.
Sara Zaminga, a doctoral student at Télécom Paris, and Frédéric Grillot present this chaos-based encryption method.

Le 4 mars 2024, nos élèves ont eu le privilège de recevoir Michaël Trabbia, auteur de L’important c’est toujours le CO2 et figure éminente dans le domaine de la technologie et de linnovation en tant que directeur et CEO d’Orange Wholesale. Diplômé de l’École Polytechnique et de Télécom Paris, M. Trabbia a apporté une perspective unique sur les solutions structurelles et responsables face au changement climatique.
« Ce qui est compliqué avec le CO2, cest quil ne se voit pas, on a du mal à lestimer, le mesurer. La difficulté est de le rendre concret. [...] Les technologies peuvent nous permettre, très massivement, darriver à nos objectifs. [...] Les enjeux sont de parvenir à une industrie propre, de produire moins, de partager plus, de faire durer plus longtemps. » Michaël Trabbia, auteur de « L’important c’est le CO2 », invité par nos élèves](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e1mDqpNXsrU/mqdefault.jpg)

At a time when generative AI is also affecting the way we converse with humans, Damien Rudaz, a doctoral student at Télécom Paris, talks to us about his research into human-robot interactions and their evaluation.
This is the subject of his thesis, which he conducted at Aldebaran Robotics, the company that created the world-famous Pepper and Nao robots. [Ideas] Human-machine interaction in the ChatGPT era](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/g9eb8G9gyg4/mqdefault.jpg)
