QEYnet provides a global Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) network utilizing a constellation of microsatellites in low Earth orbit to facilitate ultra-secure communication. The system addresses the vulnerability of traditional Public Key Encryption to quantum computing by leveraging the quantum properties of individual photons to generate cryptanalytically unbreakable encryption keys.
By operating dynamic trusted nodes on spacecraft, the network overcomes the 100-kilometer distance limitations and infrastructure costs associated with terrestrial fiber-optic QKD systems. Customers interact directly with the satellite's QKD payload via small optical ground stations to generate, store, and encrypt raw quantum keys for use in their own secure networking environments.
