Secure Quantum Communication & Its Applications To Securit
We come across data breaches daily, in the news, and in our professional careers. These can impact the biggest S&P 500 company or a much smaller start-up looking to change the world. Hackers are capable of stealing information about credit cards, personally identifiable information, and health records belonging to customers and staff. Worse yet hackers are capable of stealing an organisation’s intellectual property, the same property that grants any organisation an edge over the competition. Being able to secure data, whether stored or being communicated over a distance, then is a major concern for private and public organisations, including military, law enforcement, and other government departments. By utilising some of the weirder aspects of quantum physics, namely superposition, a whole new field of cryptography is being developed that promises important data is kept secure, even while in transit. Quantum Communication Anything regarding quantum physics leads to no small ...
