Three leading E-Security organizations in Geneva are
joining forces to deploy what will be the first ever integrated Quantum Key Infrastructure.

Today, Public Key cryptography uses a combination of public and private keys to secure, sign and authenticate data on the Internet. In this system, a private key is used together with a public key which in effect solves the central problem of key distribution. However, its security may be vulnerable to future increases in computing power thus challenging encryption algorithms.

Quantum Cryptography (QC) could change that by intrinsically securing key distribution based on fundamental laws of physics. With properly implemented QC, attacking the key becomes virtually impossible, despite increased computing power. Therefore, the combination of the WISeKey and id Quantique products will produce the first Quantum Key Infrastructure based on a Global Interoperable Cryptographic ROOT.
