Hey Krot, I’ve just wrapped a prototype of a quantum secure channel for the new starship drive—thought you’d be interested in how we can lock it down against any alien code sniffers. What's your take on quantum key distribution for deep space?

Yeah, loss and latency are a nightmare. A relay constellation would kill the delay, but you’d still need a fallback. Post‑quantum keys are good for the final handshake—just make sure the handshake itself isn’t the bottleneck. Think of it like a backup shield in case the quantum link goes cold.
