Eurofiber, Quantum Bridge and Juniper join forces to develop quantum-safe comms

• Eurofiber collaborates with Quantum Bridge and Juniper Networks to integrate post-quantum cryptography for enhanced security.
• The partnership aims to protect against future cyber threats, including those posed by quantum computing.

What happened: Quantum Bridge boosts Eurofiber’s security with post-quantum cryptography

Eurofiber has announced plans to integrate post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into its network infrastructure by combining Juniper Networks’ SRX firewalls with Quantum Bridge’s DSKE technology. The DSKE technology provides unbreakable security, seamlessly integrating with existing infrastructure and ensuring scalable, quantum-safe protection. This partnership aims to safeguard against future threats posed by quantum computing. Eurofiber showcased the technology at a recent central banks meeting in Rome, highlighting its ability to secure the financial system from quantum computing-based attacks. By collaborating with Juniper and Quantum Bridge, Eurofiber strengthens its position as a leader in fiberoptic infrastructure and delivers advanced protection against evolving cyber threats.
