GITEX Global…Technological Innovation Institute presents an encryption system that protects against attacks designed with quantum computers
Dubai, October 14 / WAM / The Technological Innovation Institute (TII), during its participation in GITEX Global 2025, reviewed an encryption system capable of confronting attacks that rely on quantum computers.
Dr. Sanaa Al-Amairi-Bika, principal scientist in the Space Quantum Communications Department at the Institute of Technological Innovation, said that the encryption system relies on quantum physics to protect devices and information from any possible hacking, including attacks that could be launched by future quantum computers.
She explained that the presented system is entirely made in the UAE and is capable of creating secure encryption keys in a way that no quantum or ordinary device can penetrate.
She added that traditional keys depend on complex mathematical equations, but quantum computers can solve them quickly, while the keys generated by this system depend on the laws of quantum physics, which makes them immune to any attack.
She stressed that this system guarantees the protection of information in all vital fields, from energy and health to the financial and information sectors, and said: “When the key or code is manufactured, we know that it is completely safe from any attempt to copy or steal, because its basis depends on the forces of quantum physics that prevent any interference.”
The system works via a protocol that uses two entangled photons, one of which is sent to the first user and the other to the second user. Each party can compare measurements and ensure that any eavesdropping or hacking attempt will be detected immediately, and that the only exception to causing a hack in or through the system is the presence of an actual person on the device itself.
