"Space Encryption: The Future of Quantum Communication"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists are proposing a new "space encryption" technology that uses light particles beamed around the world via satellites to protect sensitive communications from potential decryption by future quantum computers. This quantum cryptography system, known as "Quick3," encodes information into individual light particles, making it impossible to intercept without detection. The system involves transmitting data through a massive satellite network and is set to be tested in space with a satellite launch scheduled for 2025.
