ADVA launched an optical transport solution secured by post-quantum cryptography.

The FSP 3000 ConnectGuard optical encryption solution now protects data against cyberattacks from quantum computers that could break today's cryptographic algorithms.

"Our market-first FSP 3000 quantum-safe ConnectGuard encryption technology answers the urgent threat posed by quantum computers and gives organizations a way to safeguard their networks before the danger materializes. Our customers' data will be fully protected even from cybercriminals' intent on harvesting information so that they can store it today and exploit it tomorrow," said Christoph Glingener, CTO, ADVA. "We're providing long-term security for data in motion. What's more, our solution is ready to be upgraded later to comply with emerging specifications, including the NIST's PQC standardization competition."

As recommended by leading cybersecurity authorities, the PQC-protected ADVA FSP 3000 ConnectGuard encryption solution utilizes the traditional Diffie-Hellman protocol and combines it with a newly developed algorithm based on the quantum-safe McEliece cryptosystem.

This enables it to produce encryption keys that even powerful quantum computers will be unable to crack.

As well as delivering data integrity with quantum-safe Layer 1 AES-256 protection, the ADVA FSP 3000 ConnectGuard encryption solution ensures minimal impact on latency, throughput and performance.
