Paderborn scientists publish results in scientific journal . Symbolic image (University of Paderborn, Besim Mazhiqi): Scientists at the University of Paderborn have developed a decoder that makes it possible to use special light properties for communication. With the development of quantum computers, classical cryptography for secure communication threatens to become obsolete. Quantum cryptography, on the other hand, uses the laws of quantum mechanics to provide unrestricted security. One example is quantum key distribution, which allows two parties to secure a message using a random secret key. This is generated using quantum particles, usually photons. For this purpose, scientists are increasingly making use of an alphabet based on special properties of light particles, i.e. photons, namely their color composition.
