(National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) Researchers at NIST have demonstrated a simpler and potentially lower-cost method for distributing cryptographic keys using quantum cryptography, the most secure method of transmitting data.

The new method minimizes the required number of detectors, by far the most costly components in quantum cryptography
