The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has unveiled 14 indigenous quantum products during its 43rd Foundation Day celebrations in New Delhi. The products are developed in the areas of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
The newly launched QKD systems include “Q-AKSHAY CD” (a fibre-based system using Coherent One Way and Differential Phase Shift protocols in a compact 1U size) and “Q-AKSHAY MD” (based on the Measurement Device Independent protocol). The hardware components introduced include “C-SPD” (a Single-Photon Detector) and “C-RD” (a wideband Radio Frequency (RF) driver).
The encryptor lineup features “Q-SETU” (securing Layer 3 communications up to 80 Mbps), “Q-MAHASETU” (a commercial-grade Layer 2/3 encryptor up to 40 Gbps), “Q-VIKRAM” and “Q-PARAKRAM” (defence-grade Layer 2/3 encryptors up to 1 Gbps), and “Q-AMOGH” (a high-speed Layer 1 optical encryptor up to 200 Gbps).
For secure communications, C-DOT introduced “Q-DARSHAN” (a quantum-safe video Internet Protocol (IP) phone) and “Q-VACHAN” (an in-line node using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) PQC algorithms). The network solutions include “Q-RAQSHAK” (for enterprise network protection), “Q-VAAYU” (a wireless point-to-point solution), and “Q-VAJRA1000” (a quantum-safe access node).
