PQC: Quantum secure encryption on layer 1

The smart update for your DWDM systems

icon1-red

The danger: quantum computers

In the future, quantum computers will be able to break encryptions such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman - in minutes rather than years. But the threat is already starting today: hackers are storing sensitive data in order to decrypt it later ("store now, decrypt later"). This is particularly critical for information with a long lifespan - such as health records, legal documents or official communications.

Regulatory authorities demand quantum security

 
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is no longer a topic for the future—it has become a strategic imperative. Regulatory authorities in Germany and the EU have recognized the threat posed by quantum computers and are calling for concrete measures to secure sensitive data.
  • DORA (EU Digital Operational Resilience Act) requires financial companies to implement robust IT risk management from January 2025 onwards – including preparation for cryptographic threats posed by quantum computers.
  • EU-Roadmap requires: Critical systems must be quantum-secure by 2030 at the latest – initial steps such as crypto inventories and migration plans must be started now.
  • The Federal Office for Information Security sees quantum computers as a real threat to today's public key methods and calls on companies, operators of critical infrastructure, and public authorities to begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography immediately.
