SUMMARY:A Deep Dive into QKD Protocols
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of our first webinar in May – which introduced the fundamentals of quantum networks and their role in Europe’s transition to quantum-secure communication – this second session will take a closer look at the protocols that make Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) possible. \n\n\nWhat you’ll learn: \n\n\n\nPrepare-and-Measure & Entanglement-Based Protocols — Prof. André Xuereb will explain how PRISM integrates QKD into operational fibre networks and how HYPERSPACE leverages entanglement for ultra-secure data transmission.\n\n\n\n\nSecurity of High-Dimensional QKD — Florian Kanitschar will present how high-dimensional protocols improve efficiency and resilience\, even in noisy free-space environments.\n\n\n\nWhether or not you attended the first webinar\, this session offers a valuable opportunity to build your understanding – from the basics of QKD to advanced applications that will shape Europe’s secure networks of tomorrow.
