Arqit partners with RAD on quantum-safe encryption for telecom services

Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ, ARQQW) and RAD announced a collaboration to provide quantum-safe encryption solutions for telecommunications companies. The partnership integrates Arqit's NetworkSecure quantum-safe encryption key generation technology with RAD's ETX Carrier Edge platform.

The joint solution targets enterprises seeking protection against quantum computing threats that could make current public-key infrastructure obsolete. The companies also address "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks, where encrypted data is collected now for future decryption when quantum computers become more capable.

The collaboration enables telecommunications providers to offer quantum-safe business services including site-to-site and site-to-cloud VPNs, as well as Data Center Interconnect services.

"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," said Andy Leaver, CEO at Arqit. "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, stated: "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."

Arqit provides quantum-safe encryption software and post-quantum cryptography solutions. RAD is a networking edge solutions provider serving communications service providers and critical infrastructure operators in over 150 countries.
