With the approaching Q-Day - when quantum computers may become powerful enough to break today’s encryption methods - Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is coming into focus as a protective measure. Although QKD holds great potential, its current area of application remains limited. Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) have legitimate concerns regarding security, cost, scalability, and integration. Early engagement with quantum technologies is essential to counter future threats.

The ‘Q-net-Q’ project aims to integrate quantum key distribution (QKD) into existing information and communication systems in order to increase IT security in increasingly digitalised infrastructures. It creates test fields to trial the technology in real networks and drive forward technology transfer to promote a pan-European quantum communication infrastructure.
