Post-Quantum Security for Packet-Switched Networks

By participating in the initiative, ADVA is now expanding its concepts with quantum-secure cryptography in optical transmission technology to higher network levels. Other QuaSiModO project partners are the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and Genua GmbH.

“With the QuaSiModO project,

We are driving innovation in future-proof cryptography. This initiative extends comprehensive post-quantum security to VPNs, enabling enterprises and government agencies to protect their data today from the attacks of tomorrow,” said Jörg-Peter Elbers, SVP, Advanced Finland Cell Phone Number List Technology, ADVA. “Together with our partners, we are ensuring that network security technology does not fall behind in the race to compute power. Our role in the project combines our experience with post-quantum security at the optical transmission layer with our proven expertise in encrypting carrier Ethernet links.

Quantum computers of sufficient size and reliability

Could reach market maturity within the next ten to 15 years. This could mean that today’s standard data protection technologies are no longer sufficient. Sensitive and valuable information is already at risk simply by intercepting the encrypted data. The QuaSiModO project. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Researc.

Aims to research. Test and help standardize quantum-resistant algorithms in VPN implementations. The aim is to extend existing IPsec and MACsec communication Cell Phone Number Database protocols to include quantum-resistant procedures and to support the development of complete solutions. The initiative uses devices from the FSP-150 product family with ConnectGuard Ethernet encryption technology. Which is based on an extended version of MACsec. The solution offers high data throughput with low latency and is capable of encrypting data streams across multiple domains and networks of different operators.

“When quantum computers emerge

They will be able to quickly solve complex problems. That even today’s most powerful supercomputers would take many years to solve. This is why companies, governments and communications service providers. Want to use future-proof security technologies based on Bulk Database quantum-safe algorithms. Said Alexander von Gernler, Head of Research at Genua GmbH. “We have been focusing on the threat posed by large-scale quantum computers for a decade. In recent years. We have mainly been working on developing practical quantum-resistant signatures and key generation protocols. Now we are leading the QuaSiModO consortium and working. With ADVA and the other partners to bring post-quantum security to network layers 2 and 3. Providing the robust, future-proof protection that classical encryption technologies simply cannot provide.”
