PQC brings authentication required to secure QCI QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) network backbones.
Allow QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) manages the exchange of key (Quantum Cryptography) but doesn’t solve the problematic of authentication that can be solved with PQC (Post Quantum Cryptography).
Build a QKD backbone and integrate it with PQC solution for authentication.
ParisQCI consortium lead by Orange with CryptoNext responsible for PQC/QKD integration and 10 partners including Kets, Quandela, VeriQloud.
