Provably Secure Encryption<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hackers steal data constantly, so protecting it is an ongoing challenge.\u00a0 Today\u2019s information encryption technology has been compromised and will be obsolete in just a few years.\u00a0 Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology can be proven by the laws of physics to help secure the sensitive data we deliver\u2014today and into the future.\u00a0
\nThe Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developments in communication technology have created a world of faster and more convenient exchange of information.\u00a0 Data that is essential to business operations need to be accessible across departments and transferrable to other companies that work within a network.\u00a0 These might include user reports such as financials, medical records and corporate data, such as patent information, trade secrets, and pharmaceutical formulas.\u00a0 However, all of this proprietary information that passes through our current communication channels are susceptible to unauthorized access.\u00a0 As the world develops faster computer technology and more powerful quantum computers, the current data protection methods will no longer be effective.<\/p>\n

The Solution: QKD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Realizing this, Battelle has partnered with ID Quantique and aggressively developed a working network of computer facilities that safely pass information keys to unlock their own encrypted data.\u00a0 This technology, known as Quantum Key Distribution is the only key transfer method that is provably secure from an information-theoretic standpoint to help secure the sensitive data we deliver.<\/p>\n

Battelle\u2019s Quantum Key Distribution Network<\/strong><\/p>\n

Battelle has partnered with ID Quantique in Geneva to solve the problems of QKD penetration in the US market. In 2013, Battelle installed the first commercial QKD system in the US<\/strong>, connecting Battelle\u2019s headquarters in Columbus, Ohio to its production facility in Dublin, Ohio. The QKD hardware used in this link is the Cerberis model from ID Quantique. Combined with ID Quantique\u2019s Centauris encryptor, this provides a 1Gbps link with Layer2 encryption. The link between facilities requires dedicated dark (unlit) fiber. The partnership with the City of Dublin and dubLINK provides access to dark fibers that are located at the production facility in Dublin and continues in a ring around the metropolitan area of Columbus. Battelle built its own fiber link to connect the Columbus headquarters to this ring providing the continuous dark fiber link needed for the QKD network to function.<\/p>\n

Next Generation QKD Network<\/strong><\/p>\n

QKD\u2019s greatest limitation in the US is the maximum distance it can travel along a fiber. Battelle is working with ID Quantique to create a new quantum device called a QKD Trusted Node™. The QKD Trusted Node will allow a quantum network to expand the distance of QKD and to allow multiple destinations while retaining the secure nature of QKD. Battelle is planning a prototype which will be used to start connecting other Battelle offices in the metro area. The connection of three sites will create the Battelle Quantum Network (BQN) that will serve future Trusted Node sites in Columbus, creating a ring in Columbus that Battelle and others can connect to for secure keys.<\/p>\n

\n

Using the Trusted Node, Battelle plans to further expand the BQN out from the Columbus, Ohio metro area and connect to their offices near Washington, DC. The total distance for this network would be over 700km\/420mi making it the largest known QKD network in the world.<\/p>\n
