Canadian Space Agency Awards CA$1.4M ($973K USD) to QEYnet for Quantum Key Distribution Demonstration

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded CA$1.4 million to QEYnet (Maple, Ontario) to demonstrate a low-cost, Earth-to-space quantum key distribution (QKD) technology. This initiative aims to address vulnerabilities in satellite communications, particularly the inability to update encryption keys after launch, which poses a significant risk as next-generation computers threaten current encryption methods. QEYnet’s QKD technology leverages the quantum […]
