Making a hacker's job tougher, scientists have introduced a new mechanism which creates virtually hack-proof "high-speed" encryption formats driven by quantum computers. The creators claim that the new system can encrypt data 5-10x faster than existing ones and can run without any special requirement of high-speed internet.
The technique uses faint laser beams to encode photons with information, storing up to 2 bits per particle, which is then read using high-speed detectors. This method requires a unique set of encryption keys shared by both the sender and the receiver and if anyone tries to tamper with the message or the encryption keys, both the users will be alerted.
