Quantis QRNG Chip Receives Highest Certification
At the International Cryptographic Module Conference (ICMC23), ID Quantique (IDQ) announced that its Quantis QRNG chips have just received NIST ESV certification (see Certificate #63) on the Independent and Identically Distributed (IID) entropy estimation track. This certification offers the highest attainable security and robustness level for the generation of random bits. It makes IDQ’s range of QRNG chips ideal for … Continue reading
Photonis Group Becomes Exosens
PHOTONIS GROUP a global leader of highly differentiated technology for detection, imaging and light, held by Groupe HLD since 2021 is deeply transforming by developing adjacent technologies, expanding to particle detection markets. Following that strategy, the group has acquired four companies (Xenics, Proxivision, Telops and Elmul) since December 2022. A worldwide leader for image intensifier tubes, … Continue reading
Why it is Time to Implement a Quantum-Safe Network
In an article published this month, ID Quantque (IDQ) CEO Gregoire Ribordy explains “Why it’s time to implement a quantum-safe network.” As the quantum technologies ecosystem continues to expand rapidly, advances in QKD and PQC make a compelling case for cybersecurity professionals to act today to secure the future. In an extract from the article, Mr. … Continue reading
OISL vs RF Links for Satcom Constellations
Optical technologies are increasingly central to the growth of satellite communication constellations. These technologies not only facilitate diverse satellite networks and ground-to-satellite connections, but also promise enhanced anti-interference through space laser communication’s narrow beam property. Bridging the gap between varying optical networks, optical format conversion technologies come into play. Among these, Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) … Continue reading
Experimental Demonstration of Quantum Weak Coin Flipping
In work recently published in Nature Communications, researchers from Sorbonne Université, the University of Vienna, California Institute of Technology and Université de Paris have, for the first time, experimentally demonstrated quantum weak coin flipping — a cryptographic primitive which allows two mistrustful parties to agree on a random bit when they favor opposite outcomes. The … Continue reading
