Quantum Cryptography

Intermediate Applications
Security protocols based on quantum mechanical principles, offering theoretically unbreakable encryption.

📖 In-Depth Explanation

Quantum cryptography, particularly Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), uses quantum mechanics to detect eavesdropping. Any attempt to intercept quantum-encoded information disturbs it detectably. Security is guaranteed by physics, not computational difficulty.
