Theoretically un-hackable quantum encryption


Researchers Demonstrate 'Un-Hackable' Quantum Encryption(Link)

<Summary>
❑ QKD(Quantum Key Distribution) takes advantage of quantum mechanics. Touching electrons or photons changes their properties. This makes difficult to eavesdrop the signal.
* This secure characteristic is No-cloning theorem and Wave function collapse.
❑ It is possible to create/distribute encryption codes at the speed of MB/s.
❑ This technology is easy to integrate into existing communications infrastructure.
❑ People say QKD is perfectly safe. But it need to be watched because, in the past, these hack-proof technologies have been hacked after a short time.
