OneSecure Quantum Security

The idea of Quantum key distribution proposed in 1970 has developed significantly over the years and is still evolving as a mature quantum technology. In today’s digital world, no one is safe from security threats and vulnerabilities in data storage and communication. Business, banks, government organizations, hospitals as well as individuals face a range of security threats every day. QKD addresses long-term security issues when it comes to protecting records of people in hospitals, government organizations, and other institutions for a long period of time. However, implementing QKD systems in the existing infrastructure is very challenging, and also the current systems are not operable between different vendors. This situation will not remain the same, and hopefully, QKD will be widely used in the future. Quantum cryptography and the future of security The arrival of Quantum computers delivering exceptional processing and computing power will make our existing cybersecurity useless. This is where Quantum key distribution or Quantum cryptography comes to the rescue. It uses quantum physics to secure the distribution of symmetric encryption keys, and undoubtedly QKD could significantly improve security. The messages are encrypted in such a way so that anyone from outside can never read them. In short, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) exchanges secret information such as a cryptographic key (a shared random key between two parties) using quantum properties which can then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages that are being communicated over a channel that is not secure. Since data security is ever-evolving you should take the necessary steps to get your organization quantum ready. For more information, get in touch with us today!
