Preparing Canada sponsored quantum-safe innovations for real-world deployment - QKD Networks & key management$551Kvalue2020start2022end

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a cybersecurity technology that has the potential to provide long-term network protection but has yet to be demonstrated to satisfy the security and functional requirements for government use. This project will endeavor to integrate a QKD Key Management System (QKD-KMS) into a simulated high-assurance network, identifying and closing security gaps in the QKD-KMS architecture that fail to meet high-assurance requirements. These simulations will provide metrics to help identify suitable high-assurance use cases with the final goal of demonstrating a proof-of-con

Integrated Fiber and QKD Network Laboratory Environment$270Kvalue2023start2024end

The project aims at creating a relevant environment to integrate fiber and satellite links in a combined Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) network. The environment will enable development of software suitable to deploy in a satellite payload and validate key routing protocols required for a mixed fiber and satellite QKD network. Cryptography is a pillar for secure communication, enabling many of the network-based social and financial interactions at the core of the modern society and economy. Cryptographic schemes are based on sharing cryptographic keys between the communicating parties and need

Cloud Based Quantum-Safe Network Planning$267Kvalue2024start2025end

Design and develop a cloud-based software product for planning and simulating a quantum network using available services from telecommunication companies and satellite service providers that supply Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technologies as a service option to their customers.

Basejump Symmetric Key Infrastructure (BasejumpSKI)$239Kvalue2026start2026end

BasejumpSKI is EVQ’s solution to address the regulatory requirements for Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration by 2030-2035. BasejumpSKI’s patented Multimodal protocol uses a hybrid PQC implementation and enables quantum-safe and long-term secure protection of data with cryptographic resilience.

QKD Key Management$145Kvalue2019start2020end

Design and develop a software product that provides key management services to users or equipment for secure communications in a multi-site enterprise network, using keys generated from Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technologies.
