New security protocol shields data from attackers during cloud-based computation

Quantum-enhanced security protocol for cloud computing

MIT researchers have developed a security protocol that uses quantum properties of light to ensure secure data transfer from cloud servers during deep-learning computations. This protocol encodes data using laser light in fiber optic systems, relying on quantum mechanics to make it impossible for attackers to copy or intercept the information without detection. It ensures strong security while keeping deep-learning models accurate. In tests, the researchers showed that their method maintained 96% accuracy while providing solid security.
