What is Quantum Encryption?
TU Quantum Encryption is a solution to extend the level of security of IoT environments or private 5G networks against the current threat of Store Now - Decrypt Later, which will lead to the future widespread use of quantum computers. With this solution we are getting ahead of the post-quantum future which, although it will bring multiple advantages, in certain sectors it is crucial to adopt preventive security measures in advance.
Why is it important?
Most computer experts predict that quantum computers will be available for widespread use in 10 years. This certainty implies an expiry date for some of the current cryptographic systems. That is why it is necessary to start adapting our networks now. This need is even more urgent if we share sensitive data through our systems. Typically, this data contains information that will remain critical until the deadline we have been given until the emergence of quantum computers. If this data were captured today, the secrecy with which it has been transmitted could be broken when the time comes, exposing information that should be kept confidential. This threat is called Store Now - Decrypt Later. The best solution to this threat? Post-quantum cryptography, which introduces encryption mechanisms that are robust against the quantum threat.
We make networks that are at risk from the threat of Store Now - Decrypt Later (IoT, critical infrastructure, finance and defense) more secure. To do this, we use a combined approach of traditional cryptography and post-quantum cryptography, as well as a “Quantum Agility” scheme.
We designed this solution to be incorporated into different network technologies, maintaining a minimum impact on latency and guaranteeing the stability of communication.
We implement post-quantum algorithms standardized by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology of the US Department of Commerce), guaranteeing the highest level of security for our clients' critical information.
This is how we are integrating quantum-safe technology in IoT environments and private 5G networks
We increase the current security of Telefónica's networks, adding an extra level of protection in the transmission of sensitive data in private 5G networks. This way, we offer quantum-safe protection wherever the client needs it, even in the middle of the sea, with an advanced level of security and low latency. This facilitates even more secure communication of remotely controlled devices in critical environments, such as ROVs, ASVs or drones, among others, with their control platforms.
We integrate post-quantum encryption in security-critical environments for communication between IoT devices, for sectors such as mining, healthcare and industry. Thus, in addition to making the protection of sensitive information more robust, operational performance is optimized in what are called “tactical operations bubbles”, where the safety of operators and agents is a priority. This reinforces the security of the data transmitted between devices and of the people carrying them.
