SK Telecom recently announced that a consortium it is part of has won a contract to develop a national-level quantum cryptographic communication system for South Korea. The project aims to enhance the security of future wireless and satellite communications. This five-year national project is to develop a satellite-based long-range wireless Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system that will support secure communication up to 30 kilometers and can be mounted on satellites as well as on the ground.
SK Telecom, South Korea's largest wireless carrier by membership, on Wednesday unveiled the official name of its quantum alliance: X Quantum. In March, SK Telecom allied with six other companies (Nokia, SOS Lab, Xgate, Wooriro, KCS and IDQ Korea) to promote developments in the quantum ecosystem through exploring joint marketing and business opportunities.
Korean mobile carrier SK Telecom will launch a next-generation quantum cryptography chip next week, marking the industry's first secure chip utilizing QRNG and PQC technologies to prevent hacking. Named "Q-HSM," this product continuously generates unpredictable random numbers through a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) and incorporates post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms based on complex mathematical principles. This dual-layer security capability enables it to reliably defend against quantum attacks.
