Imagine the locks on your digital doors are great today, but a new kind of super-powered key is being built that can open any of them instantly. This project is creating new, stronger locks that these super-computers can't break. It's like upgrading the entire city's security system before the master key is actually finished.
Current internet encryption will be easily broken by future quantum computers. Transitioning to new security standards is complex because it creates a cascade of dependencies across hardware, OS, and apps.
A migration playbook containing lessons learned and a set of quantum-secure building blocks validated in three pilots: IoT manufacturing, web browsing, and telecom networks.
If you are a factory operator dealing with insecure IoT connections in digital manufacturing — this project developed quantum-secure building blocks that protect your production line from future quantum computer attacks.
If you are a telco dealing with outdated software network environments — this project developed a quantum-secure environment that ensures long-term data privacy for your subscribers.
If you are a software company dealing with the risk of quantum computers breaking internet encryption — this project developed a quantum-secure browsing pilot to keep user sessions private.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the end-user is not provided, though the project received an EU contribution of EUR 4,999,648 to develop the transition tools.
Yes, the project aims to validate three infrastructures at TRL6, specifically for digital manufacturing, internet browsing, and telecom networks, to ensure the process is replicable for industry.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project contributes to standardization efforts and policy making to guide industrial adoption.
The project addresses five building blocks, including hardware and operating systems, to solve dependency issues when moving to post-quantum cryptography.
The project runs from 2023-09-01 to 2026-08-31 to identify barriers and create a migration playbook for industry use.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with 7 industry partners (50% of the 14 total members) and 1 SME. This balance, combined with 4 universities and 3 research centers across 5 countries, suggests a strong focus on moving theoretical quantum-resistant math into practical, deployable software and hardware.
