In today's digital world, secure communication is essential for commerce, governance, and security. The forthcoming quantum computer poses a threat to the traditional cryptography methods used for secure communication. An existing method of secure communication is so-called Quantum Key Distribution. Quantum Key Distribution allows two parties to produce a shared random secret key that only they know, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt messages.
The CyberQ project (Advancing cybersecurity with continuous-variable quantum cryptography) seeks to develop next-generation Quantum Key Distribution systems that provide more scalable, affordable, and implementation-secure cryptographic solutions than the current ones.
