Secure Quantum Technologies

Rethinking security – from quantum-secure communication to quantum sensing

Quantum technologies open up new possibilities for securing critical infrastructure, enabling resilient navigation, and safeguarding digital communication over the long term. At the same time, they pose new challenges to existing security architectures − particularly in the field of cryptographic methods.

IABG supports public authorities, armed forces and security-critical organisations in in the evaluation, integration, and protection of quantum-based systems. As an independent partner, we combine technical, operational, and methodological expertise with many years of experience in security-critical environments.

In the context of secure digitalisation, quantum technologies complement existing services in the areas of

  • Cyber security −  particularly in cryptographic processes and security architectures

  • Satellite navigation −  in the assessment of quantum-based navigation approaches

Quantum technologies are still at an early stage of development in some areas. A realistic assessment of technological maturity, integrability, and operational benefits is essential for sound investment decisions. We combine:

  • Technical system expertise

  • Operational experience in the security policy domain

  • Methodological competence in analysis, testing and certification

This results in a reliable basis for decision-making for the introduction of quantum technology systems in security-critical environments.

Our services and expertise

  • Quantum-safe communication

    The long-term protection of sensitive data requires new cryptographic approaches. 

    We support in:

    • Evaluation of quantum key distribution methods (QKD)
    • Security assessment of quantum technology components
    • Analysis of integration options within existing network architectures
    • Security and threat assessments
    • Implementation of demonstrators and pilot projects
    • Certification-oriented security evaluations
    • Assessment of side channels and physical attack vectors
    • Development and operation of specialised test environments
    • Development of security profiles

    In conjunction with our capabilities in cyber security and network architectures, we develop robust security concepts for quantum-secure communication infrastructures.

  • Quantum sensor technology and intelligence gathering

    Quantum sensors promise new dimensions of performance in terms of precision and sensitivity. 

    We support:

    • Techno-economic analyses
    • Performance assessments and simulation-based comparisons
    • Evaluation of government and defence use cases
    • Analysis of geopolitical and strategic implications
    • Assessment of technology maturity levels (TRLs)

  • Quantum navigation and resilient PNT systems

    Quantum-based navigation methods can contribute, in the long term, to increase independence from satellite-based systems.

    Our services include:

    • Studies on potential applications of quantum-based navigation systems
    • Assessment of operational advantages in security-critical applications
    • Market and capability analyses
    • Estimation of availability, costs, and integration effort
    • Development of test and demonstration concepts

    In combination with our expertise in the field of satellite navigation, we analyse robust next-generation navigation architectures.
