After years of development BT<\/a> and Toshiba have today announced that they’ve made the UK’s first “industrial deployment<\/em>” of a quantum-secure network using Openreach<\/a>’s “standard<\/em>” fibre optic infrastructure, which runs between the National Composites Centre (NCC) and the Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CFMS).<\/p>\n

Quantum links are often said to be virtually “un-hackable<\/em>” because they rely on the use of single particles of light (photons), to transmit data encryption “keys<\/em>” (QKD – Quantum Key Distribution<\/strong>) across the optical fibre. Should this communication be intercepted, the sender will be able to tell that the link has been tampered with and the stolen photons cannot then be used as part of the key, thus rendering the data stream incomprehensible to any hacker.<\/p>\n

Admittedly this doesn’t stop hackers breaching the connection indirectly, such as by infiltrating the systems or facilities on either side of the link, but any data that passes over the link itself should remain secure and safe from prying eyes. Back in 2018 BT<\/a> tested such a link over a distance of 120km and at speeds of around 500Gbps via multiple exchanges (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Funded by Innovate UK’s AQuaSeC<\/a> project, the first industrial deployment of this technology by BT<\/a> has now taken place over a distance of just 6km (although it can work at 120km) between two research facilities. Previously those locations had to physically transport sensitive data, via portable storage devices, between the NCC and CFMS sites.<\/p>\n

Toshiba’s QKD system enables the distribution of 1000s of cryptographic keys per second and its multiplexing compatibility allows the data, and the quantum keys, to be transmitted on the same fibre, which eliminates the need for costly dedicated infrastructure for key distribution.<\/p>\n

The network also benefits from Toshiba\u2019s Active Stabilisation technology, which allows the system to distribute key material continuously, in even challenging operating conditions, without any user intervention (i.e. avoiding the need for recalibration of the system due to temperature-induced changes in the fibre lengths).<\/p>\n

Prof. Andrew Lord, BT’s Head of Optical Technology, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This first industrial deployment of a quantum-secure network in the UK is a significant milestone as we move towards a quantum-ready economy. We\u2019re excited to be working alongside our long-term partner in Toshiba, as well as the NCC and CFMS as industry-leading bodies in the UK, to demonstrate the ultra-secure nature of quantum cryptography.<\/p>\n

The power of quantum computing offers unprecedented opportunity for UK industry, but this is an essential first step to ensure its power can be harnessed in the right way and without compromising security.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dr. Andrew Shields, Head of Quantum Technology at Toshiba Europe, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are delighted to help the NCC and CFMS secure sensitive design and manufacturing data shared between their sites. Our solution can be implemented on standard BT fibre infrastructure and is applicable to a wide range of different applications, allowing organisations to ensure the long-term security of their data and protect it from even the most powerful computers.<\/p>\n

With the UK government\u2019s assertion earlier this month that it wants to be the \u2018world\u2019s first quantum-ready economy\u2019, quantum-secure networks are vital to it achieving this ambition, and we\u2019re excited to be at the forefront of making this a reality.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, this is aimed more at major national or even international fibre connections, rather than domestic broadband ISP links. In the future it’s hoped that such networks could be deployed to help secure critical national infrastructure, as well as to protect the transfer of sensitive medical and financial information etc.<\/p>\n

Last month the UK government announced the creation of the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) \u2013 expected to be completed in 2022 \u2013 which aims to help the UK stay at the forefront of the technology.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 3:43pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

We requested a bit more data on the system speed for all this. The key rate of the QKD system is currently about 1.1Mbps and each encryption key has a length of 256 bits. The encrypted data link itself is running at 10Gbps and typically Toshiba refresh the encryption key at a rate of up to every second. <\/p>\n

In the past Toshiba have operated the QKD system with data rates of several 100Gbps (as per the beta mentioned above), but this particular link requires only 10Gbps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
