量子经济发展联盟：2024年QKD：深度防御安全策略的一部分报告（英文版）

Quantum technology can provide benefits and risks to cybersecurity. Quantum key distribution(QKD), first described by Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984, is the basis for secureencryption based on the principles of quantum mechanics. in the ensuing four decades QKDsystems have been deployed around the world to provide secure encryption for terrestrial aswell as satellite communication. On the other hand, quantum computers of sufficient capabilitywill be capable of breaking currently
