The EU has launched the Nostradamus project, aiming to enable high-level cybersecurity<\/a> with quantum tech.<\/p>\n

Led by Deutsche Telekom, Nostradamus is an industry consortium, including academia and companies such as Thales and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology. Its mission is to help create a network of quantum-safe communications.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the consortium plans to build testing infrastructure for quantum key distribution (QKD) and evaluate QKD devices of European manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Quantum key distribution has emerged as a fundamentally secure method of communication and data transfer. That\u2019s because it uses quantum<\/a> light particles to generate random keys for encrypting and decrypting data transmitted between parties, minimising interception risks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI firmly believe that QKD is the right approach, surpassing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC),\u201d Markus Pflitsch, founder and CEO of Terra Quantum and former CERN scientist, told TNW.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the quantum age, only true QKD protocols can provide the ultimate security needed to protect our critical infrastructure and data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Europe\u2019s plan for quantum-safe communication<\/h3>\n

Nostradamus\u2019 results will pave the way for the implementation of EuroQCI<\/a> \u2013 a pan-European communications network based on quantum technology.<\/p>\n

EuroQCI will use both terrestrial and satellite systems to increase security for communications, data<\/a> centres, and critical infrastructure, such as governmental institutions, energy grids, and hospitals.<\/p>\n

The ground-based projects \u2014 such as Nostradamus \u2014 are focusing on operational QKD technologies.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the space-based segment is led by ESA, which is working on Eagle 1<\/a>, the first European satellite to be based on QKD. The future encrypted EU satellite network IRIS2<\/a> will also rely on EuroQCI, designed to provide governments with communications services and network critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cEurope should be focused on fostering home-grown solutions if it wants to ensure its technological sovereignty in the long-term,\u201d Pflitsch said, noting the importance of collaboration between major European companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese collaborations will be instrumental in ensuring Europe has a vibrant and secure quantum ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n
