- Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is the nodal Ministry for this scheme
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Correct National Ropeways Development Programme – “Parvatmala” – which will be taken up on PPP mode. It will be a preferred, ecologically sustainable alternative in place of conventional roads in difficult hilly areas. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is the nodal Ministry for this scheme.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements regarding ‘Quantum Key Distribution’
- It enables two parties to produce a shared random secret key known only to them, which can then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages
- The security of encryption that uses quantum key distribution relies on the foundations of public key cryptography
- Quantum key distribution is only used to produce and distribute a key and not to transmit any message data
Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure communication method which implements a cryptographic protocol involving components of quantum mechanics. It enables two parties to produce a shared random secret key known only to them, which can then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages The security of encryption that uses quantum key distribution relies on the foundations of quantum mechanics, in contrast to traditional public key cryptography, which relies on the computational difficulty of certain mathematical functions, and cannot provide any mathematical proof as to the actual complexity of reversing the one-way functions used. The security of encryption that uses quantum key distribution relies on the foundations of quantum mechanics, in contrast to traditional public key cryptography, which relies on the computational difficulty of certain mathematical functions, and cannot provide any mathematical proof as to the actual complexity of reversing the one-way functions used. Context – The technology was demonstrated by DRDO and IIT – Delhi.
