Barcelona / Singapore, October 28 2025 -- At the newly opened AWS Innovation Hub in Singapore, LuxQuanta and evolutionQ are showcasing a live demonstration of a working quantum-safe network in a financial institution use case, protecting its data center with an AWS Direct Connect facility.

The solution protects against both today's threats and tomorrow's quantum attacks. A practical and interactive demonstration that evidences the practicality and efficiency of quantum-safe solutions in real environments.

THE TIME TO START PLANNING YOUR QUANUTM-SAFE TRANSITION

Quantum technologies aren't distant promises anymore.

Current geopolitical tensions and technological global races have accelerated the investments and development timelines, and experts estimate that sufficiently powerful quantum computers could break current encryption standards within the next decade.

Meanwhile, adversaries are already collecting encrypted data under "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" strategies, where encrypted data is stored now, awaiting the technology to decrypt it.

So, the question isn't whether to upgrade your security. It's whether you'll do it before your critical data becomes vulnerable.

Although current developments and estimations place the feasibility of powerful enough quantum computers within the next decade, the time for migration becomes more urgent the greater the impact a breach of today's critical data could have on your organization, government intelligence, or strategic roadmap.

For financial institutions, healthcare providers, and government agencies, it's essential to start their quantum-safe migration plans today.

Fortunately, quantum-safe solutions, such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), are market-ready. QKD technologies also exploit properties of Quantum Physics to generate and distribute cryptographic keys that are resistant to quantum-enabled attacks.

THE UNIQUE, AND PRACTICAL, APPROACH OF THE DEMO

This demonstration at the AWS Innovation Hub shows a practical, deployable system that protects a realistic scenario.

The demo aims to secure a financial institution's critical data link between its data center and AWS Direct Connect facilities. The demonstration showcases a multi-layered security approach by combining a future-proof layer of security using quantum key distribution, combined with post-quantum encryption protocols and key management solutions.

HOW QUANTUM-SAFE NETWORKS ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.

The demo shows the overall network, with different nodes connected via quantum-secure links, in a graphical, user-designed dashboard that illustrates how data can remain continuously protected by combining QKD-generated keys with PQC encryption algorithms.

The demo is accompanied by an interactive console and visualization board where the attendees can see in real-time, an attack simulation, and how the quantum-safe network is able to detect the vulnerability and adjust accordingly automatically.

Layer 1: Quantum Key Generation

LuxQuanta's NOVA LQ system generates cryptographic keys using quantum physics, not mathematical algorithms. This technology establishes a quantum channel between two or more endpoints to securely develop and distribute symmetric cryptographic keys, leveraging principles of quantum physics.

• Keys are derived from quantum randomness transmitted through optical fiber in quantum states, not based on mathematical algorithms.
• Any eavesdropping attempt disturbs the quantum states, making intrusion instantly detectable.
• The security is physics-based, not computation-based. This makes the encrypted data immune to even future quantum computer attacks.

As a result, data secured with NOVA LQ is intrinsically resilient to quantum computer attacks and remains secure against any form of computational threat, present or future, including "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks.

Layer 2: Intelligent Key Management

evolutionQ's Basejump platform acts as the orchestration layer, managing key distribution across the network. It is the control layer that ensures the proper delivery and use of QKD cryptographic keys to the applications that consume them.

Acting as middleware, Basejump retrieves, stores, and distributes the keys created by LuxQuanta's QKD systems, ensuring they are always available when needed, even during fluctuations in link performance.

Beyond orchestration, Basejump allows the creation of Quantum Delivery Networks, where multiple QKD links interconnect through trusted nodes, reflecting real-world enterprise and carrier-grade architectures. It also supports hybrid encryption, combining QKD-generated keys with PQC algorithms to establish multi-layered protection.

Layer 3: Seamless Integration

The top layer connects to what will consume the keys in your network: routers, firewalls, and line encryptors from major vendors. These devices consume the quantum-secured keys transparently, encrypting traffic between data centers, offices, and cloud environments, including AWS Direct Connect facilities.

LuxQuanta's cloud-based telemetry integrates with standard enterprise monitoring tools, providing continuous visibility into link health, key generation rates, and security events.

THE LIVE ATTACK SIMULATION: HOW THE QUANUTM-SAFE NETWORK REPSOND

What happens when there is a vulnerability? When an interception attempt tries to get the keys?

Here's where the demo gets practical.

Visitors can watch an interactive dashboard showing the network with real-time data of the three different layers:

• Right panel: Quantum keys being generated between nodes
• Center panel: Key buffer levels
• Left panel: Applications requesting keys

Then comes the simulated attack.

Visitors can initiate an attack that simulates an eavesdropping attempt. As eavesdropping is attempted on the quantum channel, the system responds exactly as designed:

• Detection → QKD systems detect an abrupt change in noise in the channel. The system alerts the KMS dashboard. NOVA LQ detects excess noise and rejects compromised material.
• Resilience → Buffered keys, both stored in NOVA LQ and the ones managed by Basejump's KMS, keep applications running without interruption.
• Response → Key generation rate drops, and compromised keys are discarded automatically to ensure link security.
• Remediation → Security team receives telemetry data to investigate and respond accordingly.

This provides a simple, efficient user-level experience where continuous protection and complete auditability across the entire cryptographic chain are always enabled, even under active attack.

IMPLICATIONS AND PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS

The demonstration showcased is a practical way to visualize real deployments across sectors, where organizations not only benefit from a quantum key distribution installation but also enter into a larger and cohesive quantum-safe network solution.

This case includes a combination of PQC security and overall KMS management across the network, even providing quantum-safe-level security in AWS Direct Connect facilities.

The LuxQuanta–evolutionQ collaboration at the AWS Innovation Hub represents a proof of concept for the next stage of global cybersecurity within a well-established operator environment such as AWS. In line with the already published evidence of concept, where different AWS Direct Connect facilities are secured using LuxQuanta devices, this demonstration shows a practical use case for teh financial and banking sector within the AWS environment.

The AWS Innovation Hub in Singapore serves as an executive-grade environment for co-creating solutions within the AWS partner ecosystem. It's designed to accelerate digital and AI transformation across Asia-Pacific. LuxQuanta's participation establishes the quantum-safe security pillar in this ecosystem, demonstrating how QKD and PQC converge to create hybrid cryptography that's resilient against both current and quantum-era threats. This builds on previous successful demonstrations linking AWS Direct Connect facilities with LuxQuanta technology, proving the concept at scale within production-grade infrastructure.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The key strategy is to be prepared.

The first steps rely on knowledge and understanding of the needs and timeline of a quantum-safe migration, as well as the technical requirements, while beginning to move towards quantum-safe solutions or being ready to transition, following the risk mitigation strategy appropriate for each particular case.

Will your organization proactively prepare its security infrastructure or wait to respond as quantum computing capabilities advance?

The strategy will depend on the risk level of a potential data vulnerability.

The LuxQuanta-evolutionQ demonstration at AWS Innovation Hub shows that quantum-safe networking is available for deployment today, easily integrating with existing infrastructure and working with the cloud platforms your business already relies on, providing a clear migration path as part of a comprehensive quantum-readiness strategy.
