Quantum Key Exchange & Drones: Securing the Skies One Photon at a Time
A s drones become smarter, more autonomous, and integrated into critical infrastructure—from disaster response and border patrol to precision agriculture and defense—the need to secure their communications becomes mission-critical. Conventional encryption, while currently robust, may not hold up for long. Why? Because quantum computing is on the horizon, and with it, the potential to break traditional encryption methods in minutes. Enter Quantum Key Exchange (QKE)—a breakthro
