UAE-developed encryption solution launched

Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research arm of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), and VentureOne, ATRC's venture builder, in collaboration with technology group e&, say they have launched QuantumConnect, a next-generation hardware-based encryption solution, in the UAE.

The partners say that QuantumConnect harnesses the power of quantum physics to revolutionise secure communications, embedding hardware directly on fibre infrastructure.

Built on TII’s proprietary quantum key distribution (QKD) technology, this offering is designed to ensure future-proof protection of data as it moves across networks, addressing the growing complexities of security threats, including quantum computing’s potential to break conventional encryption.

In this case QKD secures communications by transmitting encryption keys as quantum particles, which cannot be intercepted or duplicated without detection. This guarantees that key exchanges remain secure, even against future quantum attacks, providing businesses with a future-proof defence for their most sensitive data.

Developed in the UAE, TII’s advanced quantum communication technology offers local compliance, ensuring that organisations benefit from a solution tailored to their unique security needs. The solution aligns with national and industry regulations, including the UAE’s new Cryptography Executive Regulation.

As organisations generate and transport more data across networks, and as quantum computing becomes a near-future reality, TII says QuantumConnect ensures data security and resilience from the ground up. The solution enables networking with physically impenetrable encryption at the connectivity level, providing lasting protection for mission-critical communications.

Designed for scalability, QuantumConnect integrates into existing fibre-based infrastructure, providing entities in highly regulated industries, like finance, healthcare, government, and other sectors a deeper layer of protection, adapting to specific security needs with ease. TII says in live deployments business clients have already experienced significant enhancements in data security and operational confidence.
