Applications

16.1.1 Sovereign QKD Backbones — Distributing quantum-secured encryption keys via satellite to create an unconditionally secure national communications backbone immune to computational attack.
16.1.2 Quantum Repeater Networks — Satellite-based quantum repeater nodes that extend entanglement distribution beyond the photon-loss limits of fibre, enabling a continental-scale sovereign quantum internet.
16.1.3 Post-Quantum Crypto Migration — Using satellite-distributed post-quantum cryptographic key material and algorithm negotiation to harden national communications infrastructure against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.
16.1.4 Quantum Random Number Distribution — Harvesting certified true randomness from quantum vacuum or photon-detection events aboard a satellite and distributing it to national cryptographic infrastructure.
16.1.5 Quantum-Safe Government Comms — Integrating satellite-distributed quantum keys and post-quantum cryptographic protocols to harden classified government communications against present and future adversarial decryption.
