SQKey Generator

The SQKey Generator uses the QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) to provide absolutely secured encryption keys to existing market digital cryptographic. It guarantees the self-construction & updating of keys using quantum security. It also provides the efficient intrusion detection system on the key construction channel.

Optical networks are not secured unless protected by a quantum security solution

Quantum Cryptography is intended to be used within a pure optical environment (optical fibre or atmospheric laser beam). Today the technology allows the use of a Quantum Key Distribution system within a range up to 80 kms.

SQKey Generator key functions

• Plug-and-play, transparent integration
• High-speed dynamic key generation
• 1 Fibre/multi-waves, technology
• Instantaneous intrusion detection
• High speed secured key updating
• 80 km point-to-point distance support
• SNMP management interface.

Our generic use of the shared secret allows us to construct a key for any algorithm (even proprietary).

How does it work

The SQKey Generator dynamically builds a shared secret. The sender simply transmits a string of bits to the receiver through the optical link whose values are carried by single photons on a dedicated wavelength ƒ1. Thanks to quantum physic laws, this string of quantum bits allows us to construct an absolutely secured secret. More over, any attempt to plug into the fibre and read the construction of the secret will be immediately detected.

• Each SQKey Generator is able to authenticate its peer at any time to prevent any identity attack.

• After completing a reconciliation process, both legitimate users agree on a number of bits to forge a secret key.

• This key is used by the cryptographic devices chosen by the client.

The SQKey Generator allows encryption on the same fibre, on any type of network protocol at physical level and transmits encrypted data on a telecom standard DWDM wavelength, ƒ2.
