We have deployed our first quantum key distribution link in the Danish Quantum Communication Infrastructure project #qcidk! The ~80 km link between University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense and a secret location in the woods near Sorø, roughly in the middle between Odense and Copenhagen, operates a QTI SRL QKD system at about 2 kbit/s. The Danish television DR has reported about our installation in their 9PM news magazine on Tuesday (in Danish, 12.44 to 18:35): https://lnkd.in/d7wuBDW8 You can read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/dQAbNJFu A big thank you to our collaboration partners who made this possible: Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark, GlobalConnect, Danish e-infrastructure Cooperation, DTU - Technical University of Denmark The project aims at completing the national quantum communication network by mid 2025. The other partners in the project are: Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Danish Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology, University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet), Aalborg University, Sparrow Quantum

#Live from the Kokkedal Castle, #Copenaghen, where QTI’s CTO Davide Bacco has delivered a talk about #QKD in real-world applications at the #SPOC2024 workshop. Every year since 2015, SPOC has been gathering international scholars to delve into the realm of #opticalcommunications with the aim of finding solutions to the major challenges of communication systems. Davide’s talk highlighted recent #QTI experiences and lessons learned in implementing #QKD in deployed communication networks to unconditionally protect communications from both classical and quantum threats. Thanks to all SPOC friends and colleagues for an intense four days of optical communication!

Join us at #IQCLSW2024 in Ischia! This year, the IQCLSW celebrates 30 years of discoveries for Quantum Cascade Lasers (#QCLs). For the occasion, a Summer School and Workshop will be held in Ischia, Italy, from 25th to 30th August. The School and Workshop will explore the deep impact of QCLs in a wide range of technological applications, spanning from optical chemical sensing, medical or environmental, to quality control, biomedical diagnostics, cultural heritage and telecommunications. Look for #QTI’s stand at the #exhibition area. Registration is still open at https://lnkd.in/d4ExeibQ #IQCLSW #workshop #quantumcascade #quantumcascadelasers #QKD #QuantumKeyDistribution #QuantumTelecommunicationsItaly

A new tool is now available to organisations to face threats posed by #quantum computers. These days, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalised the development of encryption algorithms (#PQC) specifically designed to resist #cyberattacks from classical and quantum computers. The importance of the PQC standardisation process is to provide users with the encryption algorithms’ computer code, instructions for how to implement them, and their intended uses. Based on a software solution, #PQC is not able to ensure (alone) the unconditional security of digital communications. In this regard, a desirable post-quantum migration strategy consists of the combination of #QuantumKeyDistribution (QKD) and PQC solutions. Based on the laws of quantum mechanics, #QKD is the only existing information-theoretically secure tool enabling the establishment of #quantum-safe networks. Combined with PQC, it provides a flexible yet #definitive solution for quantum-secured networks. Another step towards ensuring security in the post-quantum future.

Alcuni momenti del workshop “Quantum per la Difesa: La sfida dell’Italia nelle Emerging and Disruptive Technologies”, tenutosi ieri a Palazzo Theodoli a Roma. Durante l'evento, per #QTI, il nostro CEO Tommaso Occhipinti e Presidente e COO Alessandro Zavatta, hanno condiviso gli ultimi sviluppi nel campo delle comunicazioni quantistiche e le opportunità di implementazione nel settore della Difesa. Organizzato su iniziativa dell’On. Nino Minardo, il workshop ha messo in luce l’importanza di coniugare le esigenze di crescita capacitiva del settore della #difesa nelle tecnologie emergenti (#EDT) con le soluzioni innovative offerte dalle eccellenze industriali italiane. Gli interventi dei rappresentanti del settore difesa e dell’#industria hanno sottolineato quanto sia cruciale raggiungere l’indipendenza tecnologica, supportando lo sviluppo e l’implementazione di nuove tecnologie. Le tecnologie quantistiche, come la #QuantumKeyDistribution e il #quantumsensing, si dimostrano essenziali per rispondere alle nuove esigenze strategiche della difesa. #QKD #QuantumTelecommunicationsItaly 

Le tecnologie quantistiche e la loro portata innovativa in termini di #sicurezza delle comunicazioni digitali sono stati al centro di "Quantum per la Difesa. La sfida dell'Italia nelle Emerging and Disruptive Technologies” con la partecipazione di #Telsy e QTI SRL in qualità di aziende esperte del settore. A Palazzo Theodoli a Roma, tra I relatori provenienti dal mondo della #Difesa e delle Istituzioni, sono intervenuti Luca Iuliano, Engineering Director di Telsy, e per #QTI Tommaso Occhipinti, CEO, e Alessandro Zavatta, Presidente e COO. Telsy è da tempo riconosciuta come centro di competenza in #crittografia e, oggi ancora di più grazie all’investimento strategico in #QTI, anche nel settore della sicurezza #quantistica. Con TIM Enterprise abbiamo la capacità di essere hub di soluzioni e tecnologie in grado di fornire una risposta alle esigenze più sfidanti, come la protezione di dati e comunicazioni da tutti i tipi di minacce grazie alla tecnologia della #QuantumKeyDistribution (#QKD). #FuturingSecurity #TIM #TIMEnterprise

The #financial industry depends on secure messaging in transactions. This makes the financial sector especially vulnerable to #cybersecurity attacks, which the advent of #quantum computing will make ever more severe. Informed by the outcomes of an in-person workshop organized by the QED-C in New York in February 2024, where #QTI contributed from the perspective of quantum technology provider, a new QED-C #report addressing this central topic has been published. The report provides insights on the main security approaches to securing financial messaging, i.e., #PQC and #QuantumKeyDistribution, and their ability to solve problems facing the financial industry. Three #recommendations emerged: • Support the finance industry in the implementation of PQC standards • Increase the quantum expertise of financial institutions • Explore QKD + PQC combined approaches Read more at ➤ https://lnkd.in/ecm9kg7Y #quantumsecurity #quantumcomputing #Finance #QED-C #QKD #QuantumTelecommunicationsItaly

The Italian National Cybersecurity Agency (#ACN), published insights on #quantumthreat preparedness techniques to ensure data confidentiality. The document introduces the threat posed to #cryptography by the advent of quantum computers and illustrates the main existing solutions, namely post-quantum cryptography and #QuantumKeyDistribution. The ACN highlights that States and international organisations have already started dealing with the quantum threat and are planning a migration process to post-quantum. As for #Italy, the document acknoweledges the starting of a transition process, encouraging any organisation using cryptographic methods to pay attention to quantum threats.
