A quantum of protection

By Staff Report April 1, 2025 5:21 pm IST

From Canada, the partner country of HANNOVER MESSE 2025, comes Quantum Bridge, a young company with academic roots that aims to protect companies against even the most advanced threats with its quantum-based solutions.

Quantum Bridge was founded in 2019 as a spin-off from the University of Toronto. The people behind the company have decades of experience in the fields of quantum and classical information theory, communication, cryptography and cybersecurity. Based on academic excellence and technological innovation, Quantum Bridge has quickly become a leader in the field of quantum-safe communication.

Quantum Bridge is primarily concerned with complex technical and theoretical challenges, including the generation and manipulation of quantum entanglement. The remarkable work on quantum repeaters and the company’s proprietary technology strengthens existing networks against both classical and quantum threats.

At HANNOVER MESSE 2025, the Canadians are showcasing the Symmetric Key Distribution System (SDS), a flexible and comprehensive security solution designed to enable organizations to protect their sensitive data and communications across the entire network stack, regardless of the encryption methods or devices used. The SDS supports post-quantum cryptography (PQC), quantum key distribution (QKD), pre-shared keys (PSK) and the distributed symmetric key establishment (DSKE) protocol for unconditional security. According to Quantum Bridge, it protects against even the most advanced threats and ensures that organizations can meet their security and compliance requirements with confidence.
