QKD (Quantum Key Distribution)

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a secure method for sharing encryption keys using the principles of quantum mechanics. It allows two parties to generate and share a secret key in such a way that any eavesdropper trying to intercept the key would inevitably disturb the quantum states involved, alerting the parties to potential interception. This ensures that the key remains private, enabling ultra-secure communication. QKD leverages the properties of quantum particles, like photons, providing a level of security grounded in the laws of physics rather than computational difficulty.
