Tag: 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. What is Quantum Cryptography? Quantum cryptography “future proofs” any data transmission as the encryption cannot be cra...
