quantum encryption protocol
/ˈkwɒn.təm ɪnˈkrɪp.ʃən ˈprəʊ.tə.kɒl/ IELTSAcademic
noun
a set of rules for sending encrypted data in a quantum-based system. It describes how devices protect information and exchange keys or signals securely.
- The team tested a new quantum encryption protocol.
- This protocol protects data during transfer.
- Banks may use quantum encryption protocols in the future.
Adinary Nuance
A quantum encryption protocol is a specific rule set for secure communication. It is more exact than encryption alone, which only means making data unreadable. It is also narrower than security system or protocol, because it focuses on quantum-based protection and key exchange.
