Mitsubishi, NEC, Tokyo University Realize Successful Interconnection of Quantum Encryption Networks for First Time in Japan

TOKYO --(Business Wire)
Security of most modern cryptography is based on computational complexity, and the extraordinary time necessary for cryptanalysis. It has been pointed out that modern cryptography may be threatened by the increasing speed and ability of computers in the future.
To that end, many are suggesting a shift to using quantum encryption. This type of optical cryptography uses quantum-state photons to carry data, and has the advantage of being able to detect eavesdropping.
