Next-generation systems of data encryption that leverage advanced cryptography technologies.
Beyond a set of weaknesses progressively found within systems of data
encryption, and critical vulnerabilities present in current encryption services,
Connectikpeople.co recalls that Encryption is the necessity.
Most systems gain in maturity like the new invention from inventors Richard
Hughes, Jane Nordholt, and Glen Peterson, the scientists who developed the
technology while working at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New
Mexico. Whitewood has obtained an exclusive license to the technology from
LANL.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 8,929,554,
with claims covering methods and systems for secure multi-party communication
that are compatible with various key distribution protocols, including quantum
key distribution (QKD).
This new technology, enterprises can advance to quantum key management, or
QKM, for networks, supporting a broad range of security functions, encryption,
authentication and signatures.
For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co recalls that traditional
approaches to QKD for networks required a dedicated point-to-point link between
each pair of users, leading to redundancy of resources; while Whitewood’s new
QKM approach ca, offer the advantages of quantum key distribution even to users
who have no direct quantum link.
The technology can also be applied as an overlay to existing optical
networks, with the goal of eliminating the need for a dedicated optical
communications infrastructure.
