ISRO experiments on quantum encrypted data transmission
ISRO experiments on quantum encrypted data transmission in free space over a distance of 300 meters. The demonstration was on a live video-conferencing with quantum key encrypted signals. It happened between two line-of-sight buildings in Ahmedabad at the Space Application Centre.
This experiment can form the basis for a future quantum key encrypted data transmission between satellites and ground stations. A satellite-based quantum encrypted communication can be used to create a network for sharing secret messages.
“This is a major milestone achievement for unconditionally secured satellite data communication using quantum technologies,” said ISRO in a release.
