Partnership Launches Quantum-Secure Satellite Communication to Revolutionize Data Security
  • QRNGs are crucial for generating genuine randomness, which is essential for thwarting quantum decryption, utilizing the unpredictable nature of quantum mechanics.

  • This collaboration aims to enhance data security and efficiency, offering satellites as a more secure alternative to traditional terrestrial data centers for encryption processes.

  • By offloading the preprocessing stage to a satellite equipped with QRNG, the project aims to significantly reduce data exchange time and computational burden in MPC protocols.

  • The project emphasizes trusted execution and enhanced resistance to tampering compared to terrestrial systems, making it a robust solution for secure communications.

  • Partisia's expertise in cryptography and MPC ensures that the solutions developed will meet the growing demand for privacy-preserving technologies driven by regulations and customer trust.

  • Partisia, Squareroot8, and NuSpace have formed a partnership to develop a quantum-secure communication infrastructure that leverages satellite-based Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs).

  • This memorandum of understanding sets the foundation for various secure business applications, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in quantum communication security.

  • A QRNG-equipped satellite can generate 'false' random numbers that can be combined with real data, potentially cutting overall processing time by up to 80%.

  • Preprocessing can streamline computations, reducing the time required from nearly a week to just one hour by managing data exchange in advance.

  • The initiative also focuses on supporting encrypted key distribution and correlated randomness for secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC).

  • Utilizing satellites provides advantages such as enhanced security due to their physical inaccessibility and improved efficiency through advanced data preparation, while maintaining privacy since satellites do not access actual data.

  • Dr. Goh Koon Tong, Chief Technologist & Co-Founder of Squareroot8, noted that this technology not only boosts efficiency but also guarantees quantum-safe security for cryptographic computations.
