Quantum secure communications
Data confidentiality in the quantum era
Strengthen your defenses against quantum computing attacks
The challenge
As quantum computers become powerful enough to break current key exchange algorithms, organizations handling critical information that will maintain 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 proven 800 Gb/s encryption and standard open APIs that can communicate with any external QKD system.
The benefits
Minimize your data security risks today and into the quantum era with easy-to-deploy high capacity data encryption that can be combined with an external QKD system to provide unconditional security of all critical in-flight data.
