Arqit Quantum Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration tooling and quantum-safe encryption, and RAD, a global provider of networking edge solutions, have announced a collaboration to deliver a joint quantum-safe encryption solution for telecommunications providers. The integrated offering enables telcos to provide enterprises with quantum-resistant services, including site-to-site and site-to-cloud VPNs, as well as Data Center Interconnect (DCI).
The partnership responds to the urgent need for encryption that withstands both current HNDL attacks—where adversaries collect encrypted data today for future decryption—and the long-term threat of cryptographically relevant quantum computers. By integrating Arqit’s NetworkSecure™ with RAD’s ETX platform, telcos gain a high-performance, hybrid post-quantum solution that protects sensitive enterprise communications across multiple use cases.
“The urgent need for institutions globally to fortify their encryption against public key infrastructure weaknesses, HNDL and the fast-approaching quantum threat to long-term data security is beyond dispute,” said Andy Leaver, CEO at Arqit. “We believe that by collaborating with RAD, telcos will benefit from a crypto-agile and hybrid, post quantum solution.”
“By leveraging Arqit’s key generation technology, hybridized with Post Quantum algorithms, and together with RAD’s unique high speed wireline encryption, we strengthen our quantum security ecosystem, adding another layer of defense to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of threats and technologies,” said Eli Angel, VP Product & Marketing at RAD.
The solution requires no rip-and-replace of existing infrastructure, making it practical for telcos to deploy quantum-safe services quickly while maintaining compatibility with current networks.
