Quantum Networking Solutions for Security Challenges

This technical report outlines the AliroNet solution, a full-stack quantum networking architecture designed to address modern security threats such as Harvest Now Decrypt Later (HNDL) attacks and vulnerabilities posed by quantum computing. It describes the necessity of quantum networks in securing data, voice, and video communications, particularly in light of the inadequacies of legacy encryption methods. The report details various methodologies for enhancing security, including Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC), and Quantum Secure Communication (QSC). It explains the operational modes of AliroNet, including Full Quantum Network Deployment Mode, Pilot Mode, and Emulation Mode, each serving distinct purposes in the development and implementation of quantum networks. The document emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to building quantum networks, highlighting the need for careful planning, design, and testing to ensure effective performance and security. Additionally, it discusses the integration of quantum networks with existing systems and the potential for future-proof applications.
