ITU outlines protocols for quantum key distribution

One of the latest additions to quantum communications standards from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) provides guidance on protocols for quantum key distribution (QKD), a means of enabling secure encryption as quantum technologies outstrip the capabilities of earlier cryptography. The ITU standard X.1711 (Framework of QKD protocols in QKD networks) is the first-ever international standard […] The post ITU outlines protocols for quantum key distribution appeared first on ITU .
