Quantum Key Distribution in Optical Fiber Communication: A Study
Abstract: The relentless march of technological advancements, particularly in the realm of quantum computing, stances a noteworthy threat to security of existing cryptographic systems. Traditional encryption methods, like RSA and AES, trust on mathematical problems considered computationally hard for computers. However, sufficiently powerful quantum computers could render these systems vulnerable to attacks, jeopardizing the confidentiality of sensitive data transmitted over optical fiber networks. This looming threat has spurred significant research and …
