PacketLight and ID Quantique have integrated Quantum Key Distribution technology within PacketLight devices, signifying a significant milestone in the technological advancements of secure data transmission.
The successful integration of IDQ’s 4th generation of quantum key distribution (QKD) solutions with PacketLight's DWDM & OTN encrypted transport delivers a highly secure quantum-safe encrypted network.
PacketLight’s firmware also supports IDQ’s Clarion KX Quantum-Key Management System. It is a central piece of software that enables the extension of QKD technology beyond point-to-point topology, to build QKD networks that ensure long-distance reach of the Quantum keys.
"The convergence of IDQ technology and PacketLight's DWDM/OTN devices advances the security of data transmission by enhancing our Layer-1 encryption solutions,” said Koby Reshef, CEO of PacketLight. “We are proud of this cooperation, and eagerly anticipate the opportunities it will unveil in the market."
"As the day of Quantum Computing breaking public-key cryptography is approaching, it is increasingly important to make current networks quantum-safe. We are extremely happy to join forces with PacketLight to provide a higher level of security to their customers,” said Gregoire Ribordy, CEO of ID Quantique.
