Arqit and RAD Partner on Quantum-Safe Encryption for Telcos
Summarize this article with:
Insider Brief Arqit and RAD announced a collaboration to deliver a joint quantum-safe encryption solution for telecom operators. The integration combines Arqit’s NetworkSecure™ key generation technology with RAD’s ETX Carrier Edge platform to support services such as site-to-site and site-to-cloud VPNs and Data Center Interconnect (DCI). The solution is designed to address risks from future quantum attacks and current “harvest now, decrypt later” threats targeting public key infrastructure. PRESS RELEASE — Arqit (Nasdaq: ARQQ, ARQQW), a global leader in PQC migration tooling and quantum-safe encryption, and RAD, a global leader in networking edge solutions, today announced a collaboration to deliver a joint quantum-safe encryption solution for telcos, enabling them to offer quantum-safe business services such as site-to-site and site-to-cloud VPNs, as well as Data Center Interconnect (DCI). This announcement follows the successful integration of Arqit’s NetworkSecure™ quantum-safe encryption key generation technology with RAD’s high-performance ETX Carrier Edge platform. This joint solution addresses enterprises’ need for security that is robust enough to thwart the risk presented by quantum computing becoming widely available, which will render most public-key infrastructure obsolete. While this reality is fast approaching, there’s a current threat in the form of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later“(HNDL) attacks, prompting enterprises to look at their communications service providers for an immediate solution. Andy Leaver, CEO at Arqit, said, “The urgent need for institutions globally to fortify their encryption against public key infrastructure weaknesses, HNDL and the fast-approaching quantum threat to long-term data security is beyond dispute. We believe that by collaborating with RAD, telcos will benefit from a crypto-agile and hybrid, post quantum solution.” Eli Angel, VP Product & Marketing at RAD, said, “By leveraging Arqit’s key generation technology, hybridized with Post Quantum algorithms, and together with RAD’s unique high speed wireline encryption, we strengthen our quantum security ecosystem, adding another layer of defense to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of threats and technologies.” Mohib Ur Rehman LinkedIn Mohib has been tech-savvy since his teens, always tearing things apart to see how they worked.
