Current Affairs 2026 | Defence & Science Technology

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) recently field-tested Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology. Its primary purpose is to enable ultra-secure communication by securely distributing encryption keys using the principles of quantum mechanics. Any attempt to intercept the keys alters their quantum state, making eavesdropping immediately detectable.

QKD is considered a major step towards strengthening India’s cyber security, defence communications, and future quantum communication infrastructure.

In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ The correct answer to the MCQ
✅ What Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is
✅ How QKD ensures highly secure communication
✅ Why this technology is important for national security and future quantum networks
✅ Important exam-oriented facts for UPSC, SSC, Banking, Railways, Defence, Insurance, State PCS, CUET, and other competitive examinations.
