New EU quantum project aims for ultra-secure communication in Europe
The European Commission has announced the launch of "OPENQKD" a pilot project that will install a test quantum communication infrastructure in several European countries, was launched. It will boost the security of critical applications in the fields of telecommunications, health care, electricity supply and government services.
The project OPENQKD will aim to bring about a change in the way we see, understand and use quantum communication. Its main focus is to create and test a communication network infrastructure with a built-in quantum element, using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), a ultra-secure form of encryption that allows data to be transmitted with a very high level of security.
