The Road To The Quantum Internet Era v1.0
A shallow insight; preparing the Telco infrastructure
|| Quantum Internet 1.0 ||
Yes, i know that you are thinking that quantum attacks might not be the cybersecurity major concerns nowadays.
As the comprehensive work the OneQuantum Libya’s team has been doing along with the industry research that we have been conducting at Quanta-ly including market validation, creating use-cases, and developing quantum strategies and change management plans. We can show you how to answer the #Libyan ICT public sector's question;
Why do you need to move now rather in the future to plan for acquiring new hybrid-security architectures and empower the telco's with #quantum #cryptography based solutions (QKD & PQC). It's the Quantum Internet primitive step.
While most of the big ICT enterprises globally, are adopting new transitioning roadmaps to become quantum resistant to the future quantum attacks, it's recommended that each enterprise paves its own implementation plan for Post-Quantum-Cryptography (PQC) and a robust Quantum-Key-Distribution infrastructure as these are a long timeline demanding kind of projects.
So, even-though with release of new quantum resistant cryptographic schemes, a recent Nature article (click here) describes the current situation the best as;
The danger is not gone: there are billions of old and new devices that need to transition to the PQC suite of algorithms, leading to a multi-decade transition process that has to account for aspects such as security, algorithm performance, ease of secure implementation, compliance and more.
This can be noted from the recent news around the leading companies and countries:
White House to boost support for quantum technology while boosting cybersecurity (click here).
NATO cybersecurity center finishes tests of quantum-proof network (click here)
Google calls for urgent switch to quantum-safe encryption as US delays (click here).
OpenSSH now defaults to protecting against quantum computer attacks (click here).

That being said, establishing pilot projects of both Post-Quantum-Cryptography and Quantum Key Distribution is very important as soon as possible as it requires some quite a time to apply the following:
Quantum knowledge transfer & technical awareness.
Analysis of the data transmission key nodes.
Testing and experimentation on QKD systems and PQC solutions.
Integrate a pilot security architecture with hybrid crypto-agile solutions.
This will eventually lead to forging a ready-to-use quantum internet infrastructure, where telecom services will be powered by quantum computers on the cloud and being integrated with High-performance-computing (HPC) infrastructure.
