Toshiba will demonstrate its quantum secure communication
platform with Ciena (NYSE:CIEN), a global leader in networking
systems, services, and software, at OFC Conference 2024. The
quantum secure link will connect the Ciena and Toshiba exhibition
booths with the OFCnet by using both QKD trusted node and
multiplexing technology that will help to secure the network
traffic over existing fiber optic cables.
Relentless progress in quantum computing can weaken much of the
cryptography used today. In particular, all widely used forms of
public key cryptography rely on the difficulty of certain
mathematically hard problems, which can be solved efficiently on a
large-scale quantum computer. To protect future network
communications, new advancements and developments in “quantum-safe”
technologies are critical to help eliminate attacks in the quantum
era.
Additionally, today’s data is also susceptible to “harvest now,
decrypt later” attacks, where an adversary can store encrypted
messages today, to later decrypt when a large-scale quantum
processor becomes available. This is particularly problematic for
information with a long-term value, such as financial records,
medical data, corporate intellectual property or details of a
nation’s critical infrastructure.
The demonstration, which will run continuously from March 26–28
during the conference at Ciena booth #2427, OFCnet booth #923 and
Toshiba booth #1108, will validate how quantum keys generated by
Toshiba QKD devices can be used to encrypt data using Ciena’s
Waveserver 5 to securely send data in a multilink environment, over
two links in three locations, using a ‘Trusted Node.’ Secure keys
for end-to-end are relayed at the Trusted Node.
“This demonstration will show that our Quantum Key Management
System (Q-KMS), enables the ability to create secure networks and
to protect multiple sites and locations,” said Shinya Murai, senior
fellow at Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation, Toshiba's digital
and quantum technology business arm. “In addition to this, Q-KMS
performs proactive key allocation based on the QKD network capacity
in real time. This enables high volume and low latency key delivery
to encryption solution.”
As part of the demonstration, Toshiba will connect QKD units
between the Toshiba and Ciena booths via OFCnet, showing
unconditional secure key exchange with its QKD Systems LD and MU.
It will also highlight how the flexibility of Ciena’s WaveLogic
coherent encryption solution allows operators to deploy QKD
solutions to match their operational needs, from co-propagating
optical and quantum signals on a single fiber pair, to leveraging
an additional fiber for more challenging optical spans.
“To address the immediate threat posed by quantum computers from
potential Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attack methods, Ciena’s
Waveserver 5 delivers a FIPS 140-3 level 2 compliant solution
enabling 800G of encrypted capacity, using an innovative optical
encryption approach that allows service providers to deploy quantum
resistance today straight out of the box,” said Patrick Scully,
director, product line management at Ciena.
Deployed over an existing single fiber or a fiber pair, the MU
QKD System uses O-band WDM technology to overlay quantum signals
with network data, eradicating the need for an additional dark
fiber. This true co-existence between QKD and data dramatically
reduces the CAPEX and OPEX costs involved in delivering
quantum-safe encryption. With simple setup, auto-alignment,
real-time optimization and high key rates, Multiplexed QKD System
MU ensures operators are ready to deliver QKD across their
networks.
“The rise of quantum computing has serious implications for
current security methods and organizations need to take action now
to mitigate risks to their communications,” said Andrew Shields,
head of the Toshiba Europe’s Quantum Technology Division.
“Validating the ability of our QKD technology to protect
transmissions while using existing fiber networks is a huge step
forward in making quantum-secure communications accessible for
today’s organizations.”
