Toshiba Europe Limited has today announced that its commercially available quantum key distribution (QKD) systems now natively incorporate the latest post quantum cryptography (PQC) standard, bringing an additional layer of security to its quantum-safe networking platform.

TIM Group’s companies Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, and Telsy, center of excellence for communication security and cybersecurity with its participated company QTI Quantum Telecommunications Italy, leading Italian QKD provider, announce the successful completion of a Proof of Concept (PoC) on a high-capacity link between two data centers in Athens, secured with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

Utimaco, a leading global provider of IT security solutions, today announced the launch of Quantum Protect, the Post Quantum Cryptography application package for its u.trust General Purpose HSM (Hardware Security Modules) Se-Series.

Colt Technology Services (Colt), the global digital infrastructure company, today announced the successful completion of a groundbreaking quantum-secured encryption trial across its optical wave network. Colt collaborated with a number of technology partners for the trial including Adtran, Ciena, ID Quantique, Nokia and Toshiba, with a view to Colt offering a suite of services for global businesses to prepare for a quantum-secured future.

When quantum computers become widely available, the technology will enable much faster and more complex payment card industry (PCI) business processes — but it will also break many types of data encryption that the industry relies on to secure customer payments. To prevent that, the payment card industry must begin the difficult but crucial task of migrating to quantum-resilient cryptography. FS-ISAC, the member-driven, not-for-profit organization that advances cybersecurity and resilience in the global financial system, and its Post Quantum Cryptography Working Group have published a series of papers outlining the challenges and threats posed by quantum computing for the payment card industry, and frameworks for quantum-resilient transformation.

SandboxAQ today announced a series of scientific and technical milestones on Cybersecurity, collectively marking a set of significant advances in the company’s core research and product development activities.

As quantum computing continues to develop in an arc towards practical realization, the potential threat to classical encryption systems also slopes upwards. In response, Eurofiber has announced a partnership with Quantum Bridge and Juniper Networks with a goal to deliver quantum-safe communication solutions across Eurofiber’s fiber-optic network. This collaboration integrates advanced encryption technologies to secure data transfers against cyberattacks using quantum computers.

Arqit Quantum Inc. (“Arqit” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum safe encryption, today announced its operational and financial results for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2024.

This week, Telia successfully tested the ultra-secure quantum encryption technology in its network in Helsinki as the first commercial operator in Finland. The demo is a significant step in a national project which aims to build a quantum secure network for Finland.

Quantum Xchange today announced that its crypto-agile, PQC management platform, Phio TX has achieved FIPS 140-3 certification, meeting the rigorous security requirements for cryptographic modules used by the U.S. Government, its agency partners, and commercial businesses.
