  • ITMO University Researchers Suggest Modification of Quantum Encryption System With Compact Detector

    The new system can significantly lower the production costs of mass quantum key distribution (QKD) networks, which will make them available to a wider user audience. This will make it possible to use QDK in the regular fiber-optic cable infrastructure.

  • Is Fully Hack-Proof Code Possible?

    We all want our messages, be it a credit card number, an invitation to visit a friend or a declaration of love, to be read only by their receiver. The developers of messengers and banking systems are extolling the virtues of using encryption keys for information protection. What are those keys and can you make them fully hack-proof? ITMO.NEWS attempts to answer these questions as part of its new project with the help of Anton Kozubov, head of quantum computing research at ITMO University’s International Laboratory of Quantum Informatics.
