Necessary areas of activity in the field of national security of Ukraine are the development of cryptographic information security system, organization and establishment of production of domestic protected means and technologies of information processing. The quantum key distribution system QKD QuantUA is designed to implement secure inter-subscriber communication through the distribution of encryption keys and post-quantum block symmetric data encryption. Potential users of the system are the banking sector, public administrations, critical infrastructure of the state, subjects of state cyber security and others
General Characteristics, Concept of Development
The quantum key distribution system QKD QuantUA is oriented on secure key distribution between two users with further cryptographic data processing. The system uses quantum protocol BB84 (SARG04) and postquantum DSTU 7624:2014 «Kalyna» support connection interfaces USB, Ethernet, Fiber SFP; operating temperature range – from -10оС tio +50оС; metal case; sound, vibration and light indication; mains connection 100- 240 VAC @ 50/60 Hz; weight – up to 10 kg; dimensions – 19″ communication cab 1U-2U.
Comparison with World Analogues, the Main Advantages of Development
The advantages of the quantum key distribution system QKD QuantUA are theoretical and information security level, reliable detection of the attacker (intruder) connection, high speed of data encryption and resistance to known cryptanalytic attacks (including attacks based on quantum algorithms).
State of Protection of Intellectual Property
6 patents of Ukraine were received (№43779, №45776, №55211, №55213, №67691, №108520).
The Market Demand
Today world vendors of quantum key distribution systems are ID Quantique (Switzerland), MagiQ (USA), Toshiba Research Europe Ltd (Great Britain), QuintessenceLabs Pty Ltd (Australia). However, the cost of such systems (analogues) is quite high. The quantum key distribution system QKD QuantUA has in particular economic advantages – it is less expensive compared to analogue systems.
Development Ready Condition
Software models have been developed, the development of a layout (software and hardware complex) of the quantum key distribution system QKD QuantUA is underway.
