GENEVA, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- To accommodate the growing demand for telecom-grade
solutions that enable fast and cost-effective migration to
quantum-safe communications, ID Quantique's new Clarion KX
software platform now supports multi-vendor Quantum
Key Distribution (QKD) interoperability. Today, we are pleased
to welcome new technology partners: HEQA Security, LuxQuanta,
Quantum Optics Jena and ThinkQuantum to our Clarion KX
ecosystem.
With the looming threat of quantum computers capable of breaking
public-key cryptography, the reality of "harvest now, decrypt
later" attack poses immediate threat to the confidentiality of
enterprise, government, and IT service providers' data.
Organizations worldwide are grappling with the urgency of migrating
to quantum-safe infrastructure - the most complex, time-sensitive,
and costly cryptographic overhaul in IT history. Stakes are high,
as failure to timely employ available mitigation strategies could
expose them to significant liabilities.
To fully mitigate the associated risks, organizations are now
looking to enforce a defense in depth approach by leveraging both
quantum-based and algorithmic technologies at different layers of
the network stack. QKD solutions, the key building block of this
strategy, have been already recognized to play a critical role in
ensuring long term resilience to Quantum threat.
ID Quantique Clarion KX platform leverages an open and
service-based architecture to support a cost-effective scale up of
QKD networks. It provides for orchestration and management of
out-of-band quantum-key delivery in real time, regardless of the
underlying QKD solutions or the location of the consuming
encryption appliances. With its support for heterogeneous QKD
infrastructure in complex and SLA demanding environments, IDQ's
Clarion KX platform also enables telecom operators to generate new
revenue streams by providing new Quantum-Safe as a Service
offerings to their B2B customers looking for long-term security
assurance.
With ID Quantique's expanded ecosystem and open interfaces,
customers can now also leverage hybrid QKD networks, including
continuous variables (CV) QKD, discrete variables (DV) QKD or
Entanglement based QKD.
"We are extremely proud to break another important barrier to
large-scale adoption of quantum networks. Said Grégoire Ribordy CEO
of ID Quantique. Offering a vendor-agnostic ecosystem allowing
heterogeneous QKD infrastructure was one of the next logical steps
the market was expecting – and this is now available thanks to our
partners."
"Reaching QKD interoperability is a significant market
milestone that empowers customers to choose products freely for
their networks, maximizing flexibility and adaptability to meet
business needs. Said Nir Bar-Lev,
CEO, HEQA Security. This customer-centric approach reflects HEQA
Security's dedication to delivering innovative solutions, even
before standards are fully finalized."
"Safeguarding both present and future communications requires
customized solutions aligned with specific network requirements.
That is why we must ensure multi-vendor interoperability, allowing
our industry to build on the unique properties and specifications
of each QKD and related technologies from different providers."
says Vanesa Diaz, CEO of
LuxQuanta. "We are very pleased with the seamless work that
both our teams have done to integrate our NOVA LQ® system with
Clarion KX software, and we look forward to continuing to
nurture this partnership.
"The integration of different technological approaches is an
important step for future network architecture," says Kevin
Füchsel, CEO of Quantum Optics Jena. "The demonstration shows that
our partners and customers can rely on simple and fast
interoperability. This brings us a big step closer to multi-user
and multi-vendor networks."
"Partnering between ThinkQuantum and IDQ for the mutual
recognition of our own quantum networking solutions is definitely
moving in the direction of overcoming the competition we daily
experience on the market to cooperate in the support of our common
clients and Industry growth", Simone Capeleto, CEO of
ThinkQuantum.
