We report a high capacity Quantum-to-the-Home (QTTH) network in a spatialdivision-multiplexing (SDM) network utilizing 7-core multicore fiber (MCF). Aggregate secure key rates of 33.6 Mbit/s over 9.8 km of fiber are the actual state-of-the-art.

The exponential rise of the cloud computing paradigm has led to the cybersecurity concerns, taking into account the fact that the resources are shared and mediated by a ‘hypervisor’ that may be attacked and user data can be compromised or hacked. In... Read More about Securing Cloud Hypervisors: A Survey of the Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Countermeasures.

While our conventional cryptography methods, such for AES (encryption), SHA-256 (hashing) and RSA/Elliptic Curve (signing), work well on systems which have reasonable processing power and memory capabilities, these do not scale well into a world with...
