There is a technology in development that could secure communication in the future.
Let’s face it, scenarios in business and communication require two parties share information without either being sure if they can trust the other.
Examples include secure auctions and identification at ATMs
There is a technology in development that could secure communication in the future.
Let’s face it, scenarios in business and communication require two parties share information without either being sure if they can trust the other.
Examples include secure auctions and identification at ATMs. Exploiting the strange properties of the quantum world could be the answer to dealing with such distrust: researchers at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore have used the quantum properties of light to perform the world’s first demonstration of a “secure bit commitment” technology.
Secure bit commitment is equivalent to making a sealed bid in an auction. One party, usually known as Alice, “commits” some information (a bit) to another party, usually known as Bob, with Alice later choosing when to reveal that bit. A bit commitment protocol is secure if Bob can’t learn anything a
