Ensure data confidentiality in the quantum era
Strengthen your defenses against quantum computing attacks with high-capacity optical encryption that uses PQC algorithms and can be combined with any QKD system
Continue to safeguard critical data into the quantum era
The challenge
As quantum computers become powerful enough to break current key exchange algorithms, organizations handling critical information, including data that maintains its value over time, should consider taking steps to mitigate the threat.
Our approach
Ciena’s solution provides inherent resistance against the threat of quantum computers with Ciena’s Waveserver® 5 powered by 1.6 Tb/s layer 1 (L1) encryption that supports post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms and standard open APIs to communicate with any external quantum key distribution (QKD) system.
The benefits
Minimize your data security risks today and into the quantum era with easy-to-deploy high-capacity data encryption that supports PQC algorithms and can be combined with any external QKD system to provide unconditional security of all critical in-flight data.
