Satellite Quantum Key Distribution: Analysis, Modeling, Performance Evaluation, and Validation

Digital security is a critical concern in modern society, and quantum cryptography offers a promising defense against the threat posed by quantum computers to existing encryption systems. Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides an unconditionally secure method for symmetric key exchange, but its ran...
