“Techniques that will never be decrypted” “Quantum Cryptographic Communication” Toshiba Puts Practical Use on January 21 at 0:05
Toshiba has decided to commercialize next-generation encryption technology called "quantum cryptography" in the United States next year. This is the first Japanese company to do so.
Various data are encrypted and transmitted on the Internet, but if a quantum computer with extremely high computing power is used in earnest, the current encryption may be easily broken.
For this reason, Toshiba has decided to commercialize the next-generation quantum encryption technology "quantum cryptography" using quantum technology in the United States next year.
`` Quantum cryptographic communication '' is a mechanism in which encrypted information and a key necessary for decryption are exchanged by placing it on a weak light. It is a technology that cannot be deciphered.
The company plans to offer dedicated equipment instead of selling dedicated equipment, and it is expected that it will be introduced by US government agencies and financial institutions handling sensitive information.
This means that it is the first Japanese company to put it to practical use.
The development of quantum cryptography technology is accelerating in Europe, the United States, and China, but Toshiba wants to expand its market in the United States at an early stage and expand its market in this field to increase its market share.
