Insider Brief Aviatrix launched Harvest and Decrypt Protection, combining post-quantum encryption with communication governance for cloud workloads. The offering uses crypto-agile encryption and workload-level communication controls to protect data from harvest-now-decrypt-later risks and restrict data egress paths. Aviatrix said the service is available immediately, with five policies and five nodes free for existing customers and … Read more

Insider Brief Microsoft Quantum and QOLAB proposed a framework for assessing whether logical qubits can scale into fault-tolerant systems capable of useful quantum computations. The paper says scalable logical qubits should be evaluated across reliability, scale, capability and performance, rather than through qubit counts or isolated error-rate results. The framework calls for repeated error correction, … Read more

Insider Brief SK Telecom and KISTI developed a digital twin technology to simulate and verify quantum cryptographic communication network conditions before deploying physical QKD equipment. The system links SKT’s Kubernetes-based quantum key management system with KISTI’s QKD simulator through an ETSI standard-compatible interface. The companies said the setup can simulate factors such as communication distance, … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers at Nanjing University demonstrated an asynchronous measurement-device-independent quantum cryptographic conferencing system that enables three users to establish a shared secure key without trusting the central measurement station. By pairing single-photon detections recorded at different times, the protocol avoids the increasingly rare multiphoton coincidence events that limit conventional multiuser quantum conferencing as network … Read more
