Highlights of the First Country-Wide, Quantum-Safe Network
You may have already heard about ID Quantique (IDQ) and SK Broadband’s deployment of the world’s first country-wide, quantum-safe network infrastructure in South Korea. Let’s take a deep look at what is now one of the largest and most sophisticated commercial quantum communication networks.
Here’s why this matters:
- Long term resiliency against “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) attacks for government departments’ data across the network infrastructure
- Cost-efficiency through simplified operation and management
- Defense-in-depth with an unprecedented level of flexibility for the Quantum-Safe migration of the application layer
- Service-based security for easy onboarding of additional users and for scaling the network security beyond “dark” optical fibers

About ID Quantique
ID Quantique (IDQ), founded in 2001, initially operated as a spin-off company of the University of Geneva, working on research projects to demonstrate the feasibility of quantum key distribution (or QKD, also known as quantum cryptography). In late 2003, IDQ developed the first QKD product for data centers to protect data in transit. 20 years later, IDQ released its 4th generation of quantum key distribution systems and remains the market leader in quantum safe cryptography and quantum sensing solutions. It maintains close ties with academic institutions by participating in numerous research programs and plays a leading role in cutting-edge projects to drive innovation to the market.
