    pQKD – post-Quantum Key Distribution

     Info
    Sold by: Quantum B 
    The Post-Quantum Key Distribution (pQKD) is a comprehensive managed service offered by Quantum B. This service is centered around a hardware device called pQKD, a cybersecurity product that functions as a QKD system emulator, enabling accelerated adoption of quantum cryptography at a reasonable cost.

    Overview

    The primary goal of this service is to accelerate the transition to true QKD systems. It does so by emulating QKD protocols in line with the global communication standards set by ETSI for QKD technology. The device includes a genuine quantum random number generator (QRNG), which is essential for any secure quantum key distribution. For the emulation of quantum channels, it utilizes the latest post-quantum algorithms approved by NIST for key distribution (FIPS-203) over secure out-of-band network connections. The device has been extensively tested with a wide range of network encryption solutions, ensuring security for data-in-motion across network layers from L1 to L3, as well as for select end-to-end applications.

    Highlights

    • Standard Post-Quantum Algorithms: Implements the Key Exchange Mechanism (KEM) using the NIST-standardized algorithm (FIPS-203).
    • Genuine Quantum Entropy Source: Features a built-in Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG), essential for secure quantum key distribution.
    • Cost-Effective Solution: When combined with network encryptors, the devices enable extensive testing of data-in-transit protection at a low cost. We currently offer pre-production devices suitable for Proof-of-Concept projects, with fully certified devices available soon. These devices also support the initialization of "QKD at the cloud edge" services.
