Hellas QCI and Nokia lead way to the future of Quantum-Safe-Networks
Trial showcases hybrid approach with both classic and quantum physics key generation to help HellasQCI reach its goal of Quantum-Safe Networks for critical infrastructure security across Greece.
Results demonstrate critical interoperability in the quantum key distribution (QKD) architecture and how Nokia’s portfolio is equipped to help secure the network against quantum attacks at the lowest latency and lowest cost per bit HellasQCI project consortium is led by GRNET – National Infrastructures for Research and Technology, and operates under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance. GRNET provides networking, cloud computing and high-performance computing connecting more than 150 organizations across 50 cities and serves hundreds of thousands of users
“We are very pleased with the successful completion of the PoC with Nokia, which is one of the key milestones for the HellasQCI project that establishes the National Quantum Communication Infrastructure in Greece. GRNET plays a crucial role in various European infrastructures for research and education, including EOSC, EUDAT, EGI, GÉANT, PRACE, and EuroHPC, and we are honored to have been given the responsibility by the Ministry of Digital Governance to lead the implementation of this innovative quantum network infrastructure as part of the pan-European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) initiative. The PoC demonstrated the feasibility and the benefits of Quantum-Safe Networks for securing critical communications in Greece and in Europe and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with Nokia and other partners to develop and deploy an operational and secure EuroQCI.”
