Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a secure communication method that uses the principles of quantum physics to share encryption keys. It allows two parties to generate a shared, secret key that can be used for encrypted communication. QKD ensures that any eavesdropping on the key exchange can be detected because observing quantum particles changes their state. This means that if someone attempts to intercept the key, both parties will know it’s compromised. As a result, QKD provides a high level of security, making it a promising solution for protecting sensitive information in the digital age.
