We’re excited to share a key development from our latest work in the Allegro project — Hybridisation of QKD and AES to Improve Consumer Key Rate
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a groundbreaking technology for secure communication. While current commercial QKD links are more than sufficient for single security applications (e.g., MACsec/IPsec requesting keys every 10 minutes), scaling up to large, multi-node networks and higher OSI layers demands significantly higher key rates.
💡 Our solution? A novel hybrid scheme that combines the quantum-level security of QKD with the efficiency of AES. This approach drastically enhances key distribution rates, making QKD viable for complex, high-demand environments.
This advancement is a step toward practical, scalable quantum-secure networks.
