As noted earlier, Robin Wilton's HOPE talk on quantum encryption is, by a long chalk, the most viewed ISOC presentation of the year, with 100s of views. To be honest, he was given a boost by being scheduled on the opening day as the lead in to Cory Doctorow's keynote, but it' still garnering many further views in the archive. He did follow up with a paper, which is linked below.
