US EditionA hack-proof internet? Quantum encryption could be the key
Google calls for urgent government mandates on quantum-resistant encryption, citing accelerating quantum threats and urging completion of migrations within 12-24 months.
- Chinese researchers demonstrated a new method of quantum encryption that sends secure information over more than 100 kilometers of optical fiber using device-independent quantum key distribution .
- DI-QKD enhances security by allowing secure communication even if devices are flawed or tampered with.
- The method uses entangled atoms to protect against vulnerabilities that have affected quantum communication systems in the past.
- This technological achievement could lead to a quantum internet where trust in hardware is unnecessary, creating a more secure communication environment.

Chinese scientists have sent data 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) away using quantum cryptography based on entangled atoms. The achievement helps bring quantum technology from the lab to everyday life and is a major step towards a hack-proof internet.
Google Warns: The Quantum Era Could Shatter Today’s Digital Security
The promise of quantum computing feels like something out of a sci-fi novel. We have heard about potentially huge breakthroughs in medicine and energy. However, its implementation in the real world still carries a hidden sting. Google recently issued a global call to action, warning that bad actors could use the quantum technology, originally designed to solve “impossible” problems, to dismantle the digital locks protecting our bank accounts, pr…
The company behind the internet search engine warned that delaying the preparation of quantum computing only increases the risks. Read more
