Quantum-Secure Communication Backbones
Backhaul networks hardened with quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses quantum states of photons to establish encryption keys that reveal any eavesdropping attempt. Embedding QKD into fiber and satellite backbones creates ultra-secure links for critical infrastructure traffic, such as grid control signals and financial transactions.
