Standalone Q-KMS network appliance for versatile and cost-efficient Quantum-Safe network deployments
Both national security authorities and industry experts agree that governments and enterprises, which must protect the confidentiality of their data for five to ten years or more, need to move to new cryptographic solutions now. Safety of current encryption methods, and especially of the key exchange mechanisms based on asymmetric cryptography, is widely recognized as a major concern today. Possible back-doors in current systems combined with massive computing power already put high-value sensitive data at risk of being decrypted by malevolent actors. Moreover, the arrival of quantum computers is imminent and the seismic impact to the current Public Key Infrastructure is unavoidable: all data encrypted with current public-key cryptography is at risk of being stored now and easily decrypted later.
Solteris Network Appliance is part of IDQ’s Quantum Safe Ecosystem, offering a simple upgrade for any network infrastructure to become Quantum-Safe. Powered by IDQ’s Clarion KX Platform (Q-KMS), it enables out-of-band key distribution as well as QKD network extension, even when QKD can’t be deployed due to infrastructure limitations. It includes a NIST-approved IDQ QRNG entropy source for secure key generation and high computational power for demanding deployments such as data center interconnects. Its versatile physical Ethernet ports and dual power supply meet the most stringent 24/7 operational needs, while ensuring cost-effective scaling and redundancy in your Quantum Safe infrastructure.
Rapidly deployable and with enterprise-grade performance, Solteris supports multi-vendor QKD and Q-KMS deployments, and offers native PQC hybridization, making it QKD satellite-ready for future-proof encryption.
