Entanglement-Based QKD Could Secure Optical Fiber Networks

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A technique to help pairs of light particles smoothly navigate optical fiber networks was performed over 10 km of Singtel’s fiber network. Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singtel are driving the project, which could strengthen cybersecurity for networks that carry data encoded in pulses of light. A device developed in the NUS-Singtel cybersecurity R&D lab that creates particles of light that are connected by the quantum property of entanglement.

    quantum key distribution
    Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a method of secure communication that utilizes principles from quantum mechanics to establish a shared secret key between two parties, typically referred to as Alice and Bob, while detecting any potential eavesdropping attempts by a third party, commonly known as Eve. The fundamental principle behind QKD is the use of quantum properties, such as the superposition principle and the no-cloning theorem, to enable the distribution of cryptographic keys in a...
