Overlay Security: Quantum-Safe Communication over the Internet Infrastructure

Shlomi Dolev

The need for a quantum-safe Internet is emerging, and this is a great opportunity to re-examine the legacy of public key infrastructure. There is a need for perspective on the evolution of cryptography over the years, including the perfect information-theoretical secure schemes and the computationally secure schemes, in particular. There is also a need to examine the evolving Internet infrastructure to identify efficient design and secure cryptographic schemes over the existing Internet infrastructure. A combination of overlay security, blockchain, and Merkle trees with Lamport’s signatures offers just such an easily implementable quantum-safe Internet.

Transitioning Towards Quantum-Safe Government

Ini Kong

Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) provide digital public services and communication by securing information-sharing and strong credentials for digital identity management to individuals, businesses, and government agencies. While cryptographic algorithms that current PKI systems depend on are mostly resilient against hacks and other threats launched from computers we use today, the advancement of quantum computing technology introduces new security threats. This calls for current PKI systems to be modified with quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms. However, transitioning to Quantum-safe (QS) PKI systems remains complex, and the challenges are socio-technical. The research aims to guide organizations transitioning towards QS PKI systems. In doing so, we will deconstruct the QS transition into a series of stages and paths using growth models and examine how organizations can transit over time towards QS PKI systems.

Adapting communication networks to the quantum safe era: lessons learned in the coexistence of polarization-entangled QKD and classical channels

Ane Sanz, Asier Atutxa, David Franco +2 more

The growth of communication networks and the innovation in technology have driven a rising need for advanced security solutions. With the rise of quantum technologies, traditional communication networks could potentially become vulnerable, posing challenges for academia, research, and industry. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) has emerged as a promising quantum-safe solution, but its integration into existing infrastructures requires extensive study due to challenges in real-world scenarios. This paper presents an innovative quantum-safe infrastructure deployment and an in-depth analysis of co-propagation, using polarization-entangled QKD in the C-band, coexisting with classical data at 100 Gbps via Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), and employing production-ready equipment within a real infrastructure. Results validate the coexistence of data and quantum channels within the same fibers, demonstrating the adaptability of traditional networks toward future quantum-safe ecosystems. In addition, the paper provides insights and lessons learned for similar deployments.
