Satellites are critical infrastructure in our technologically advancing world. Daily, we use satellites to navigate, predict weather, and communicate. A successful cyberattack against space infrastructure could be devastating to modern society. To prevent such an attack, satellites encrypt their communications using keys loaded before launch. If those keys are compromised after launch, there is no way to load new keys. QEYnet is developing a solution to this problem using quantum key distribution (QKD). In QKD, keys are sent to the satellite using photons. Due to the laws of quantum mechanics,
Satellites are critical infrastructure in our technologically advancing world. Daily, we use satellites to navigate, predict weather, and communicate. A successful cyberattack against space infrastructure could be devastating. To prevent such attack, satellites encrypt their communications using keys loaded before launch. If those keys are ever compromised after launch to space, there is no way to load new keys. QEYnet is developing a solution to this problem using a technology called quantum key distribution (QKD). In QKD, keys are sent to the satellite using photons. Due to the laws of quan
The primary objective of the project is to adapt QEYnet’s existing terrestrial QTx design for use in space. Over the course of the project, QEYnet will modify the design of the QTx, manufacture an engineering model system, verify its performance, and subject it to a series of tests.
The expected deliverables for this project are: a. A completely redesigned optical and mechanical front-end b. An engineering model QRx-35 to be used for functional and performance testing purposes c. A completed test campaign and associated test reports including conclusions and lessons learned d. A prioritized list of design enhancements arising from the test campaign and a plan to address them.
(20STDPL16) To prevent cyberattack, satellite communications are often encrypted using encryption keys loaded onto the satellite before launch. Should keys be compromised, it is impossible to load new keys onto a satellite in orbit. QEYnet is developing a solution to this issue using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, in which encryption keys are sent from the ground to the satellite as a stream of individual photons. By the laws of quantum mechanics, any attempt at eavesdropping on a QKD system can be detected, so the encryption keys produced are highly secure. However, deviations i
This project will design and derisk a photon transmission source that can be used to perform Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) between Earth and a spacecraft carrying a corresponding receiver.
The project will upgrade the Two-meter Twin Telescope TTT in the Canary Islands to serve as quantum optical ground stations for secure satellite-to-ground communications. This includes adaptive tracking, precision optics, and a quantum key distribution QKD stack integrated with a QEYnet satellite.
