Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a secure communication method that uses quantum mechanics to share encryption keys between parties. By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, QKD ensures that any attempt at eavesdropping can be detected, allowing the communicating parties to establish a secure key for encrypting their messages. This innovative technique provides a level of security that classical methods cannot achieve due to the fundamental properties of quantum states.
congrats on reading the definition of qkd. now let's actually learn it.
