Quantum Cryptography for Health Data Security - A Review

Kantharaju, Srinidhi G A

Abstract: The protection of private data is of utmost importance in the contemporary digital era, with particular emphasis on the healthcare sector. Traditional cryptographic techniques, despite their limitations, have been widely accepted as the prevailing method for ensuring data security. The rapid development of quantum computers necessitates the urgent implementation of enhanced encryption techniques to ensure heightened security. Quantum cryptography is a cutting - edge approach that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to safeguard confidential data. By harnessing the unique properties of quantum particles, this novel technique offers a revolutionary means of ensuring the security of sensitive information. Quantum cryptography is a cutting - edge technology that offers unbreakable encryption by leveraging the fundamental principles of quantum physics, such as entanglement and superposition. Quantum cryptography, in contrast to classical cryptographic systems, is based on the principles of physics rather than the computational complexity that forms the foundation of classical cryptography. The utilisation of this particular encryption method ensures its resistance against potential attacks from quantum computers, which possess the ability to easily compromise traditional encryption methods. This article presents a comprehensive discussion on the latest advancements in the utilisation of quantum cryptography for safeguarding sensitive medical records.
