Background

To combat software piracy, various safety checks can be built into computer programs. One such method is that of ‘one-time’ programs which can only be executed a single time. By the use of this quantum technology, a classical program can be only allowed to operate a single time, preventing copying of the software

Technology Overview

This technology, developed in collaboration with the Singapore University of Technology and Design, allows programs to be sent securely using single particles of light (quantum photonics). These particles of light do not merely describe the program but are the physical logic of the program. The interaction with the light is the act of using the program. This is a completely new and novel way
