Creating and sharing knowledge for telecommunications

Project: Quantum-Enabled Secure Multiparty Computation for Space Surveillance Tracking

Acronym: QSCAN
Main Objective:
To solve the privacy issues related to usage of third-party data and taking advantage of access to telescopes that allow getting observational data, a quantum-enabled secure-multiparty computation (SMC) protocol will be implemented for conjunction analysis in this project. This protocol will replace the need for sharing agreements and allow to securely computing a probability of collision between space objects without disclosing to other party its own inputs. The implementation of the quantum-enabled SMC protocol requires the generation and distribution of oblivious keys, which will be achieved through a quantum oblivious key distribution protocol. The developed technology will be demonstrated in the Portuguese Quantum Infrastructure.
