Quantum Key
The Quantum Era Demands a New Standard of Security
Powerful quantum computers will soon be able to break today’s widely used encryption methods. This creates a risk known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later, where attackers collect encrypted data today and decrypt it once quantum tools mature.
To stay protected long-term, organizations need quantum-safe security, combining Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC), Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and classical encryption.
Innovating at the Intersection of Space and Quantum Security
SES is building a global quantum-safe ecosystem that protects data well into the future. By combining satellite-based QKD, advanced partnerships, and SES’s global network infrastructure - aligned with European initiatives like IRIS² - SES is delivering managed, futureproof, quantum - safe connectivity.
How Quantum-Safe Protection Works
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
- Uses the laws of physics to detect any attempt to intercept keys.
- Satellite enabled QKD removes distance limitations seen in terrestrial fiber links.
Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
- New cryptographic algorithms designed to withstand quantum attacks.
- Works best when paired with QKD in a hybrid approach for maximum resilience.
Future Proof Security for Critical Industries
Quantum-safe connectivity is essential for any organization that must secure sensitive data long into the future, including:
- Financial institutions safeguarding transactions and customer data
- Telecom and cloud providers securing networks and services end-to-end
- Governments and defense organizations protecting national security communications
