Together with X-Net and the BMK, we succeeded to demonstrate a quantum secure chat between the AIT and the ministry. On February 23, 2023, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and consortium partner X-Net Services GmbH, together with the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK), demonstrated the future of […]
ABOUT QCI-CAT
Building on the long research experience of Austrian institutions in the field of quantum technologies, the project QCI-CAT aims at an adoption of modern encryption technology based on QKD for highly secure communication between public authorities.
QCI-CAT will investigate and verify new security applications for public authorities, such as secret sharing and message authentication.
Additionally, QCI-CAT will also leverage a research testbed for new technological approaches such as the combination of post-quantum encryption with QKD, long-distance QKD with secured trusted nodes and field trials of quantum repeaters.
