  • 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.
