What is quantum cryptography and how does it differ from traditional encryption?
Quantum Cryptography or quantum encryption uses the laws of quantum mechanics (physics) to secure and transmit data. The security is not based on mathematical complexity but on fundamental physical principles.
The comparison of quantum cryptography and traditional encryption is as follows:
| Feature | Quantum Cryptography | Traditional Encryption |
| Security | Laws of Physics | Mathematical Complexity |
| Eavesdropping | Detected; alerting the legitimate parties | Undetected |
| Function | Secure Key Exchange (Quantum Key Distribution) | Data Encryption and Digital Signatures |
Why is quantum communication important in today’s cybersecurity landscape?
In today’s cybersecurity world, quantum communication is becoming increasingly important because it can protect us from the threat of powerful quantum computers, which will be able to break today’s encryption systems.
The quantum computers will use algorithms like Shor’s Algorithm to efficiently break the current public-key cryptographic schemes that secure nearly all of today’s internet, financial transactions, and digital identities.
The importance is amplified by the future quantum decryption threat, where hackers can steal encrypted data today and store it, knowing they can decrypt it easily once a powerful quantum computer is available. Quantum communication solutions provide a long-term defense against this threat.
How soon will quantum computing impact data security?
The general consensus among industry experts, including organizations like the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is that quantum computers could be available sometime in between 2030 and 2035.
The migration towards new, quantum-safe cryptography is a complex, critical and time taking process. The organizations must start their migration and readiness efforts immediately to ensure secure systems before these threats emerge.
What is Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)?
PQC widely labelled as Quantum-Resistant Cryptography is a new class of algorithms designed to run on classical computers but remain secure even against an attack by a quantum computer. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is currently standardizing several PQC algorithms, which will be the primary method for updating digital signatures and public-key encryption across the internet.
What are Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems and how do they work?
QKD systems are one of the most mature applications of quantum cryptography, which are specialized hardware systems that use quantum channels to generate and distribute random keys between the two communicators with unconditional security.
The advantage of QKD is that the security of the key is based on physics, not mathematics.
What infrastructure is required to deploy Quantum Communications systems?
The deployment of quantum communications systems requires specialized infrastructure including:
- Dedicated Quantum Channel: This is the most critical component which often requires dedicated dark fibre connections to transmit the quantum signals (photons).
- QKD Hardware: Specialized hardware devices like the Quantum Transmitter and Quantum Receiver units at each endpoint.
- Classical Channel: A standard classical communication channel is still required for the parties to authenticate each other and exchange coordination and error-correction information.
- Trusted Nodes/Repeaters: For long-distance communications, intermediate nodes, often called trusted relays to receive, decrypt, and re-encrypt the data before sending it to the next link.
Can your solutions be integrated with existing IT networks?
Yes, the provided solutions are designed for integration with the existing infrastructures. For details, you may contact us at: info@quantum.org.pk.
How does Quantum Communications protect against quantum hacking threats?
Quantum encryption protects against quantum hacking threats in following ways:
Replacing the weak algorithms with new ones that are thought to be computationally infeasible for both classical and future quantum computers.
Ensuring that the secret key exchange cannot be hacked and that any attempt to intercept the key is instantaneously detectable; preventing an attacker from gaining the key needed to decrypt the traffic.
Are your solutions compliant with international cybersecurity standards?
Yes, Quantum Communication believe that compliance is a core goal in the quantum security field. To know more on accreditations and standardizations, please contact us at: info@quantum.org.pk.
