India joins the elite club as the Indian army is set to possess Quantum Communication Technology with equipped troops and a high-end secured defense system.
With the support of Innovation for Defence Excellence (iDEX), Defence Innovation Organisation, the QNu Labs a Bengaluru-based deep tech Startup has innovated advanced secured communication through Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
The leading countries in the QKD systems are China, the US, Canada, and other European countries.
It is to carry out secure communication using a cryptographic protocol involving multiple quantum mechanical elements.
A QKD system allows the creation of a quantum secure secret pair of symmetric keys between two points that are separated by a certain distance in terrestrial optical fibre infrastructure.
QKD helps to create a non-hackable quantum channel for creating un-hackable encryption keys, which are used to encrypt critical data.
