High-Speed Quantum Encryption Could Stop Hackers: Study
To fight back against the common security attacks, scientists have created a high-speed encryption system to stop hackers.
The system is capable of distributing encryption codes at megabit-per-second rates, five to 10 times faster than existing methods and on par with current internet speeds when running several systems in parallel.
In a study, published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers demonstrate that the technique is secure from common attacks, even in the face of equipment flaws that could open up leaks.
"We are now likely to have a functioning quantum computer that might be able to start breaking the existing cryptographic codes in the near future," said Daniel Gauthier, from The Ohio State University in the US.
"We really need to be thinking hard now of diff...
