Quantum Key Distribution – The Future of Cryptography

Cyber-security is set to be challenged by the advent of quantum computing requiring encryption methods with forward security to be implemented now rather than later. Satellite Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a method of delivering provably secure encryption keys globally. Information is encoded in the quantum properties of light such that any eavesdropping can be detected. During a panel discussion key stakeholders in the field will share their visions for the future of cyber-security.
