Quantum Link Verification
Tags: The University of Queensland, Australia, Computing Technology, Science & Exploration
Researchers have developed Quantum Link Verification to ensure the physical security of fibre optic cables using quantum technology. This method allows for continuous monitoring, halting data transmission if tampering is detected, addressing confidentiality and integrity challenges in cloud data storage. It is based on established scientific principles and can be demonstrated with readily available hardware. The technology aims for lab demonstrations for integration into classical networks and has potential applications in securing emerging communication links, like LEO satellite networks, making it a forward-thinking solution for data protection.
