'''Secure Communication based on Quantum Cryptography''' ('''SECOQC''') is a project that aims to develop [[quantum cryptography]] (see there for further details). The [[European Union]] decided in 2004 to invest 11 million [[Euro|EUR]] in the project as a way of circumventing [[espionage]] attempts by [[ECHELON]]. [[Christian Monyk]], the coordinator of SECOQC, said people and organizations in [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Canada]], the [[Czech Republic]], [[Denmark]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[Russia]], [[Sweden]], and [[Switzerland]] would participate in the project.

On October 8, 2008 SECOQC was launched in Vienna.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7661311.stm BBC]</ref><ref>[httphttps://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081008/sc_afp/sciencequantumphysicsittelecomaustria Yahoo news]</ref>
