Enhancement of AGT telecommunication security using quantum cryptography
Quoc‐Cuong Le, Pablo Bellot · 2006
Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) is the network used by the Air Traffic Authorities, the Air Traffic Controllers (ATCo), the aircrafts and all Ground Stations (GS) to communicate voice and data. This paper describes how the ATN can be secured by using Quantum Cryptography (QC), either fiber-based QC or free-space QC, instead of classical PKI. ATN is a good example of special-purpose dedicated networks that could be secured by QC.
