Quantum cryptography: Digital security will get a shot in the arm

Live Mint  

Imagine sending a secret message to someone. In 2016, it launched the world’s first quantum communication satellite, Micius, which achieved long-distance QKD by transmitting quantum keys between ground stations separated by over 1,200km. The EU is making significant strides in quantum cryptography, focusing on collaboration and integration across member states. The Quantum Flagship initiative, launched in 2018, is a €1 billion, 10-year programme to advance quantum technologies, including quantum cryptography. However, collaborative efforts among nations and the rapid pace of technological advancement provide hope that quantum cryptography will eventually become a cornerstone of secure global communications.
