'Uncrackable' Secure Gigabit Quantum-Encryption Scheme

  • A quantum cyptography developer has teamed with an Australian cyptography company to create what the partners claim is the world's first 1- to 10-Gbps secure network that combines uncrackable quantum keys with classical encryption.
  • Typical bit rates used in today's high-speed networks forming corporate backbones are in the range of 1 to 10 gigabits'per second, but until today id Quantique was not in a position to offer quantum cryptography solutions working at such high bit rates.
  • With this new development, quantum cryptography is now compatible with these high-speed data networks.
