What is Quantum cryptography?
Quantum Cryptography Market |
Quantum cryptography is an encryption approach that
leverages quantum physics' naturally occurring features to secure and transmit
data in an unhackable manner.
Cryptography is the technique of encrypting and safeguarding
data such that it can only be decrypted by someone who has the correct secret
key. Quantum cryptography is distinct from standard cryptographic systems in
that it bases its security model on physics rather than mathematics.

Quantum cryptography is a system that is entirely safe
against being hacked without the message sender or recipient being aware of it.
That is, copying or seeing data encoded in a quantum state without alerting the
transmitter or receiver is impossible. Quantum cryptography should be
impenetrable to those who use quantum computing.
Quantum encryption sends data across fiber optic wire using
individual photons, which are light particles. Binary bits are represented by
photons. Quantum physics is used to ensure the system's security.
At the same time, particles can exist in multiple locations
or states; a quantum feature cannot be observed without causing it to change or
be disturbed; and complete particles cannot be replicated.
Because of these features, measuring the quantum state of
any system without upsetting it is impossible.
Photons are employed in quantum cryptography because they
have all of the required properties: They have well-understood behaviour and
serve as data carriers in optical fiber connections. Quantum key distribution
(QKD), which provides a secure technique for key exchange, is now one of the
most well-known examples of quantum cryptography.
