SECURING THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION: QUANTUM ENCRYPTION AND BEYOND – AN EXAMINATION OF CUTTING-EDGE SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Education plays a pivotal role in the overall development of individuals as well as the society. A holistic approach to education involves examinations, various forms of assessment, and continuous evaluation to provide a comprehensive view of a student's abilities and knowledge. The digital era's transformational consequences are always welcomed in the dynamic field of education. Today, many regional, national, and worldwide tests, evaluation methods, and learning platforms are being administered online. Without a doubt, in a short while, technology will control the entire educational system. Nonetheless, even with the most sophisticated technological approaches to security and encryption, preserving the integrity of online exams is becoming increasingly difficult. Quantum encryption may be able to help in this situation. The application of quantum encryption, along with its theoretical underpinnings and principles, is the focus of this study. By safeguarding against eavesdropping, it lays the groundwork for future examination administration that will ensure the safest and most secure means of transmitting question papers.
