Global Quantum Cryptography Industry Growth and Trends Forecast to 2032

Definition

This report studies the Quantum Cryptography market, Quantum cryptography uses physics instead of mathematics to encode messages, which provides greater security. The genesis of QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) traces back to the late 1960s, when Stephen Wiesner first proposed the idea of encoding information on photons to securely transfer messages. In 1984, the physicist Charles Bennett and cryptographer Gilles Brassard worked together to mature this idea by introducing the first QKD protocol, known as “BB84”. Five years later, they built the first QKD prototype system which was said to be “secure against any eavesdropper who happened to be deaf” as it made audible noises while encoding crypto key onto single photons. From its relatively humble beginnings, QKD has gained global interest as a unique cybersecurity solution with active research groups across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
