Random advance: By using quantum random numbers as encryption keys, dispersing the keys via Shamir’s secret sharing algorithm, applying erasure coding within ciphertext, and securely transmitting the data through QKD-protected networks to distributed clouds, the researchers say they aim to accelerate the application of quantum technology in cloud storage.
