Quantum Cryptography Solution for Storage Area Networks under
Development
id Quantique and Australia based Senetas Corporation Limited (ASX:SEN) announce that
they have initiated the development of a Fibre Channel extension of the Cerberis solution –
high speed encryption with quantum key distribution – for storage area network
applications.
June 20 , 2007:
idQ partners with Senetas to commercialize the
broadest range of encryption solutions in Swiss and European
markets
Building on this successful joint effort, id Quantique and Senetas announce today that they have
entered into a commercial collaboration. They have signed a reseller agreement, allowing id
Quantique to distribute Senetas’ range of CypherNet high speed encryptors in selected countries
in Europe. They have also signed a second broader agreement allowing each partner to resell the
jointly developed quantum solution in the countries it covers.
June 6 , 2007:
The Cerberis solution is awarded the prestigious Australian Information
Industry Association (AIIA) iAward.
Senetas was nominated for its Gigabit Hybrid Quantum Encryption technology
developed with its Swiss technology partner, id Quantique during the first half of this
fiscal year and now in customer trials in Europe. The iAwards, presented by the AIIA, the Australian Financial Review and the CSIRO
ICT Centre, recognise the best Australian information and communications
technology (ICT) innovations each year.

Senetas wins technology innovation award from Frost&Sullivan for hybrid quantum encryption development in collaboration with id Quantique.
Senetas, the world's leading developer and supplier of high speed network encryption hardware teamed with Geneva-based id Quantique SA, a recognised world leader in the commercialisation of Quantum Cryptography (“QC”), to produce the world's first Gigabit speed hybrid quantum cryptography solution.
January 11 , 2007:
id Quantique and Senetas team up to launch a novel hybrid quantum cryptography solution.
The resulting combination of strong encryption with quantum key distribution techniques
makes it possible to achieve an unprecedented level of security. These techniques are
particularly applicable for high value applications and long term secure data retention
requirements. Read the press release.

id Quantique's id100 modules break the 1Hz noise limit!
id Quantique has released ultra-low noise single photon counting modules for the visible spectral range. Already available for sale, these modules set a new standard in photon counting applications, providing a major boost in signal-to-noise ratio to customers looking for the ultimate detector sensitivity level. Read the press release.
November 1, 2006:
id Quantique has released the id201 , its new high-performance single photon counter for the near infrared spectrum. With up to 25% detection efficiency, the id201 is the most sensitive near-infrared single photon detection product. New functionalities were added, which make the id201 the world's most versatile single photon detection module and a quantum optician's best friend. Read the press release. April 6, 2006:
idQ teams up with IXEurope to deploy pilot site between data centres. As a preview, idQ will present its latest
quantum cryptography solution “Vectis” at the Orbit-iEX Solution Park Hall 6/D31, in Zurich (may 16 to
19, 06). Live data interception on optical fiber will be performed to demonstrate the vulnerability of optical
fiber. Read the press release.
December 1 , 2005:
id Quantique unveils the world’s smallest photon counters. The two latest additions to id Quantique’s successful line of single
photon counters for the visible range were introduced in January 2006 at Photonics West, San Jose,
California. Read the press release.
April 25, 2005:
id Quantique unveiled at Infosecurity Europe in London
its new quantum cryptography link encryptor. This product, called Vectis, combines a quantum
cryptography system to perform secure key distribution and an encryption engine encrypting Ethernet traffic.
It allows to secure communications between remote networks connected by an optical fiber. Read press release.
