Quantum-Ready Constellations: Optical Comms and QKD for Unhackable Links.

As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, the need for unhackable satellite communications is paramount. This forward-looking session dives into quantum-ready constellations, focusing on the integration of optical comms and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). We will explore the timeline and technological milestones required to secure Europe’s orbital infrastructure against future quantum computing attacks.
