Problem
Current encryption methods are vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, including potential threats from quantum computing, leaving sensitive enterprise data at risk. Existing terrestrial fiber optic networks face limitations in range and global coverage for secure key distribution.
Solution
Pramatra Space is developing satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems to provide enterprises with ultra-secure encryption keys, protecting them from cyber threats and quantum attacks. The company's QKD system utilizes integrated photonics chips on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to generate and transmit quantum keys to ground stations globally. These quantum keys are generated using photons to create a truly random sequence, ensuring enhanced security compared to classical mathematical models. The generated keys can be integrated into existing IT infrastructure via a Key Management System (KMS) platform, offering a comprehensive solution for data protection in the quantum age.
Target Audience
Pramatra Space targets enterprises, banking and financial services, IoT, and mobile edge computing companies that require robust data security measures to protect against cyberattacks and future quantum threats.
