Toshiba: “Quantum Cryptographic Communication” into practical use: Next year in the US
Toshiba: “Quantum cryptography communication”
Toshiba has decided to commercialize next-generation encryption technology called “quantum cryptography” in the United States next year.
“Quantum cryptography communication”:
This is a mechanism in which the encrypted information and the key required to decrypt it are exchanged on a weak light.
It is a technology that will never be deciphered.
Toshiba’s policy:
The company does not sell dedicated equipment, but rather offers it as a flat-rate service.
U.S. government agencies and financial institutions, which handle sensitive information, are likely to see more adoption.
