Telia Finland and QMill Demonstrate Quantum-Assisted Message Encryption Across Standard Mobile Networks

Telia Finland and QMill Demonstrate Quantum-Assisted Message Encryption Across Standard Mobile Networks

Telia Finland and Finnish quantum software developer QMill have engineered and successfully demonstrated a quantum-enhanced message encryption protocol designed natively for mobile telecommunications infrastructure. Powered by QMill’s software layer, the implementation leverages either on-premises or cloud-accessible quantum computers to secure communication nodes. Once fully commercialized, the protocol is intended to protect data transmissions against cryptanalytic [...] The post Telia Finland and QMill Demonstrate Quantum-Assisted Message Encryption Across Standard Mobile Networks appeared
