ST. PÖLTEN, Austria, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Digitalisation and globalisation require secure communication. Existing cryptography procedures make use of a highly secure mathematical method to encrypt data. As computer performance is increasing, however, these methods are becoming more and more insecure – the more so with a view to high-performance quantum computers in future.

Key Points: 
  • One of these was a patent filed for satellite cryptography.
  • Existing cryptography procedures make use of a highly secure mathematical method to encrypt data.
  • This is why we call it satellite cryptography.
  • As there is not a single publication or patent worldwide for this method, we have secured comprehensive protection for our research results by filing an international patent application", says Ernst Piller.
