Specialists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have developed an innovative quantum communication complex that provides absolute protection of confidential information for ordinary users. This was reported by the MIPT press service.
The main advantage of the new technology is the management of cryptographic keys without intermediaries, and the device itself resembles a pager. The developed complex is capable of providing complete protection of banking transactions, messengers, and applications from hacking and data theft. Using the device does not require special knowledge or complex equipment from users, making it accessible to both corporations and ordinary citizens.
The co-author of the development, Alexander Pozdnyakov, noted that traditional encryption key management systems have many vulnerabilities. Administrators who have access to the keys can be bribed or make mistakes, and centralized key storage makes the system attractive to hackers. The new key management system from MIPT has become simple and energy-independent, which greatly simplifies the process.
The institute team, in collaboration with SMARTS-Quanttelecom, has created a prototype system that uses a random number generator and quantum networks to transmit keys via the NFC interface. The device provides direct key management, allowing the owner to decide when and how to change the keys.
The development complies with domestic information security standards and is a compact device that provides constant control over data access. This makes it an ideal solution for users seeking maximum security for their communications.
