- A joint team of scientists from IIT Delhi and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), successfully demonstrated Quantum Key Distribution Link, for the first time in India.
- This technology will enable security agencies with planning a suitable quantum communication network, with a backbone of indigenous technology.
- Quantum key distribution is a secure communication method that implements a cryptographic protocol comprising of components of quantum mechanics.
- It enables two parties in producing a shared random secret key known only to them.
- It is often incorrectly called quantum cryptography, because it is best-known example of a quantum cryptographic task.
- Quantum key distribution is used only to produce and distribute a key, but not transmit any message data. This key can be used with any chosen encryption algorithm for encrypting and decrypting a message. This message can then be transmitted through standard communication channel.
