Problem
Conventional cryptographic systems rely on mathematical problems that can be solved by emerging quantum computers, creating a future risk of data decryption and compromising long‑term confidentiality. Existing key‑generation and encryption methods also lack provably random entropy, limiting their security guarantees.
Solution
ID Quantique delivers quantum‑based cybersecurity by providing true quantum random number generators (QRNGs), quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, and integrated quantum key management platforms. The Clavis XG series offers end‑to‑end QKD for enterprise, government, and telecom networks, generating encryption keys that are provably unbreakable. QRNG chips embed locally generated entropy into IoT devices, smartphones, and HSMs, ensuring high‑quality randomness without external exposure. Complementary quantum detection hardware (SNSPDs, SPADs, timing controllers) supports precise photon‑level measurements required for secure quantum communications. Together, these technologies create a quantum‑safe security ecosystem that protects data now and against future quantum attacks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises, government agencies, and telecom operators that require long‑term data confidentiality, as well as research institutions and OEM manufacturers integrating quantum photonic components into advanced sensing and communication products.
