Public-key cryptography (PKC)
Public-key cryptography, or PKC, refers to a cryptographic system that makes use of a pair of keys:
- one public key
- one private key.
The two keys are mathematically related and can be used for both data encryption and digital signatures.

Limitations
The major challenges faced by digital signature schemes rely on at least three requirements:
- Algorithm. The quality of the algorithms used in a digital signature scheme is important. This includes the choice of reliable
The solution comes in two phases
This revolutionary tech takes “root source” quantum keys that are stored in data centres and uses them as an ingredient in a novel process whereby two or more end point devices create symmetric encryption keys locally. This process is both zero trust and computationally secure.
