The only way to guarantee the anonymity of a key is to use the laws of quantum physics through Quantum Key Distribution systems.
Cryptographic algorithm systems based on keys to encrypt or decrypt messages can be classified into two groups.
Quantum communication systems have revolutionized the security of the encryption keys distribution, thanks to the unique property of having the ability to detect if a third person has tried to obtain the key (eavesdropper’s detectability) and, thus, break the line communication to preserve the message. This method of communication is called Quantum Key Distribution.
Optical interconnect technology has reached the highest level of Technical Readiness Level (TRL), verifying that its use is operational in the space environment.
