PQC software: make your data transmission quantum secure

Traditional encryption still reliably protects your data today - but this is precisely the problem: many companies and organizations are lulled into a sense of security, even though they should be taking action now. Powerful quantum computers will crack today's encryption methods in the future.

dacoso prepares your data transmission specifically for the post-quantum era. We analyze your existing DWDM infrastructure, evaluate suitable PQC solutions and integrate quantum-safe encryption smoothly and predictably into your existing systems.

Your encryption is secure today - but will it be tomorrow?

Current encryption methods are considered reliable because they can hardly be cracked by conventional computers. This will change with powerful quantum computers: public key methods such as RSA and ECC will become vulnerable in the future.

The threat is already there: Attackers can already intercept and store sensitive data today in order to decrypt it later, as soon as the technical maturity for this is achieved. This "store now, decrypt later" scenario affects all information that needs to remain confidential for many years.

At the same time, the regulatory pressure to act is growing: NIS2, DORA, GDPR and BSI recommendations require long-term planning of the IT security strategy.

This raises three key questions for IT managers:

  1. Which data and connections are at risk in the long term?
  2. Which existing encryption procedures need to be reviewed?
  3. How can post-quantum cryptography (PQC) be integrated without unnecessarily burdening operations and budgets?
Quantum-safe encryption provides a structured answer to these questions. By analyzing the existing infrastructure at an early stage, risks can be identified, migration paths planned and suitable PQC solutions evaluated before the pressure to act becomes acute.

Why PQC is a useful addition to traditional encryption

PQC does not replace traditional encryption overnight. A hybrid approach is particularly useful in critical infrastructures: existing procedures remain in use while quantum-safe cryptography is gradually added.

Traditional encryption
Post-quantum cryptography
Protection today

Proven and currently reliable against classic attacks.

Supplements existing procedures with protection against future quantum risks.
Long-term confidentiality

Critical for data that must remain protected for many years.

Specially designed for data communication with long-term protection requirements.
Risk from quantum computers

Public key procedures such as RSA and ECC may become vulnerable in the future.

PQC procedures remain resilient to quantum attacks.
Integration into existing systems

Already available in existing systems.

Can be gradually integrated into suitable DWDM environments.

With PQC integration, you can make existing DWDM systems quantum-safe

Protection against future quantum attacks

Quantum-safe encryption prepares your data transmission for new attack scenarios and increases the long-term security of sensitive information.

icon11

Continued use of existing DWDM environments

Suitable systems can be expanded in a targeted manner without completely replacing the existing infrastructure.

icon12

Changeover via upgrade instead of platform change

In suitable systems, it is possible to start using an upgrade without major project delays or a complete change of infrastructure.

icon19

High performance during operation

High data throughput and low latency are maintained, so that secure data transmission is also practicable for critical connections.

icon16

Proactive compliance preparation

Requirements from GDPR, NIS2, DORA and BSI basic protection can be planned into the security strategy at an early stage.

icon4

Lower migration risk

Early PQC integration reduces the risk of short-term mandatory conversions and expensive retrofits.
