…Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a technique for secure communication that enables two parties to produce a shared random key known only to them, which can then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages…
…QKD is provably secure against an eavesdropper attempting to copy the secret key, and since it does not rely on public-key techniques, removes many attack threats posed by quantum computers against the key exchange…
…The main security benefit behind QKD is the ability of the two communicating parties to detect any attempt to read the quantum state of a photon while it is in the fiber via eavesdropping techniques…
At The Qubit Report, our mission is to promote knowledge and opinion of quantum computing from the casual reader to the scientifically astute. Because Quantum is Coming.
