Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has achieved a major success in further strengthening India’s security. DRDO in collaboration with Bengaluru-based tech company ‘Taqbit Labs’ has successfully completed the military field trials of the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system.
It is claimed that through this technology, India’s military and strategic communication networks can be made completely hack-proof and secure. In simple words, even the super-advanced computers coming in the future will not be able to spy on this network. It is believed that now no one will be able to spy on the Indian Army. Even if someone tries to do this, it will also be easily detected.
Special features of ‘Quantum Network’
According to Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), completely indigenous technology has been used in preparing the ‘Quantum Network’. Under the ‘Self-reliant India’ campaign, this modern system has been completely designed and prepared in India (Indigenous System).
This technology will completely protect the country’s sensitive data from cyber threats and espionage attacks caused by quantum computers in the future. Also, after this successful trial, the way has now been cleared to build multi-hop quantum networks (large security grids) on a large scale across the country.
What is QKD technology?
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a security technology that uses particles of light (photons) to send data. If someone tries to hack this network or steal data, the system immediately comes to know and the data is automatically changed. This makes it impossible to hack.
Army ready to use on ground
After successful experiments at the laboratory level, it has now been completely prepared for use by the army on the ground. During this test, advanced hardware consisting of fiber spools (cables) and monitoring equipment was used, which is a new milestone in the field of Indian defense technology.
