  • Satellites for quantum communications

    ​[[{“value”:”Munich, Germany (SPX) Mar 15, 2024

    How can it be ensured that data transmitted through the internet can be read only by the intended recipient? At present our data are encrypted with mathematical methods that rely on the idea that the factorization of large numbers is a difficult task. With the increasing power of quantum computers, however, these mathematical codes will probably no longer be secure in the future.
