Scientists developed advances in quantum encryption that could protect the future Internet from the common security attacks. They created a high-speed encryption system that could prevent hackers to break into computer systems.
The study was published in the journal Science Advances. It was led by scientists from The Ohio State University, Duke University and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, according to Phys. Org.
Daniel Gauthier, the lead investigator from the Ohio State University said that they are now likely to have a functioning quantum computer that might be able to start breaking the existing cryptographic codes in the near future. The system could distribute the encryption codes at megabit-per-second rates. It is about five to 10 times faster than the existing methods. It is theorized that this could protect the Internet from the types of common security attacks that destroy and damage the systems as of this time.
