The emergence of quantum computers
with ultra-high processing power poses a
major threat to data security
Current cryptography methods based
on secret key generation and key
distribution are vulnerable to quantum
computer attacks
Network operators and enterprises should
start adapting their security

Quantum-safe cryptography options
• New cryptographic algorithms, e.g., McEliece
or Frodo, are thought to be secure against
cyberattacks by quantum computers
• The security of the encryption relies on the
computational difficulty
• Works over any network and distance

• Uses quantum physics for secure key exchange:
An attempt to eavesdrop introduces detectable
anomalies in quantum states
• The security of the encryption relies on the
foundations of quantum mechanics
• Requires optical media access and depends on
optical link budget

Summary
• ADVA releases market’s first commercial post-quantum encrypted optical
transport solution in its FSP 3000
• ADVA has proven experience and a long history of success with quantum-safe
cryptography (both PQC and QKD), building on many successful demos and
trials as well as close engagement with customers and national security
agencies
• Built for crypto-agility, the FSP 3000 solution complies with the strictest pre-
standard regulations available at this moment, and can be upgraded later to
comply with NIST’s emerging PQC specifications
