QUANTUM ENCRYPTION: THE FUTURE OF CRYPTOGRAPHY

Introduction
The new generation of encryption is currently under development. Quantum encryption is on its way to being the next viable encryption alternative. Quantum encryption is sure to secure our data for years and years due to the perfectly “uncertain” world of Quantum Mechanics.
How the Technology Works
Encryption is getting easier to crack as the months pass us by. Computers are certain to improve with time and grow even more powerful than they are today. This new encryption gives us the ability to encrypt our secure data and then decrypt it quickly and efficiently without worrying that it was seen by anyone but the intended recipient. Knowledge of the complexities of Quantum Mechanics aids in the understanding of this mind blowing technology. Basically, you begin with a photon. A light particle, that has certain spin, up and down, could stand for a 1, while another photon that spins left and right would stand for a 0. In order for the particles to be read on in an encry...
