Quantum computers will increasingly threaten the security of traditional encryption methods in the future. Quantum-secure options such as PQC (post-quantum cryptography) and QKD (quantum key distribution) offer ways to future-proof communication, especially in security-critical areas such as public administration, defense, and healthcare. A study coordinated by Fraunhofer ISI as part of the umbrella project Quantum Communication Germany (SQuaD) highlights the framework conditions, challenges, and promising application sectors for QKD—as well as potential that goes beyond QKD.
