Aliro Announces First Live Deployment of Entanglement-based Quantum Network Key Generation
Aliro today announced the live deployment of an entanglement-based quantum network delivering Quantum-Powered Security™, which enables organizations to protect and secure their data, voice, and video communications from existing and future threats. Based on the principles of quantum physics, namely entanglement, Aliro Quantum-Powered Security implements provably secure communications channels and networks. This breakthrough technology surpasses any math-based encryption method, providing an unmatchable level of security against existing and ever evolving cyber threats including those posed by quantum computing.
Aliro Quantum-Powered Security eliminates the need for vulnerable public key exchange by producing the keys used in symmetric encryption such as AES at each end of a secure connection or network instead of transporting them over the network. The solution makes existing installed networks ultra-secure through the incorporation of Quantum-Powered Security. Aliro Quantum-Powered Security is built on AliroNet and includes entanglement-based quantum network devices, AlirOS® operating system, key establishment, proprietary error correction protocols, Aliro Orchestrator, and integrates with existing network encryption devices.
Aliro Quantum-Powered Security Features
- Real-time, nanosecond-precision key generation implementation, overcoming timing challenges in quantum communication via AlirOS® software operating system.
- Entanglement-based key generation based on the BBM92 protocol with proprietary error correction and eavesdropping protection, ensuring robust quantum security.
- Aliro Simulator and Aliro Digital Twin emulation environments for full-stack protocol testing, network design, and upskilling.
- Enhanced security through seamless delivery of quantum-generated keys via Cisco Secure Key Import Protocol, bolstering enterprise encryption through Cisco SKIP integration.
- Key generation for MACsec, IPsec, and TLS links in leading industry VPNs, firewalls, routers, and switches.
- Performance monitoring with real-time metrics on network health such as key rate, QBER (qubit error rate), and key buffers, optimized quantum network management via Aliro Orchestrator dashboard GUI and API.
- Interoperable with security technologies such as Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
“Aliro has introduced a revolutionary approach to securing networks that is a dramatic improvement over existing encryption methods,” said Ray Mota, CEO & Principal Analyst with ACG Research. “Enterprises and service providers are taking the need to address Harvest Now Decrypt Later and other attacks on networks seriously and Aliro Quantum-Powered Security will be an important component to mitigating these attacks.”
Aliro Quantum-Powered Security combines the quantum physics principles of irreversibility, no-cloning, and Heisenberg uncertainty to produce the most secure method for encrypted communications. Irreversibility means that once measured, a qubit’s original superposition cannot be recovered, fundamentally altering its state. The No-Cloning Theorem means a qubit’s state cannot be copied without measurement. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle means measuring one property (e.g., a qubit’s polarization) precludes precise knowledge of complementary properties (e.g., position or momentum).
Aliro uniquely brings quantum physics expertise along with extensive experience with classical networks which enables it to bring to market comprehensive entanglement-based quantum network solutions. Aliro is redefining the future of cybersecurity with the launch of this cutting-edge, physics-based security solution leveraging quantum entanglement.
“As cyber threats become more sophisticated, the need for unbreakable security is greater than ever,” said Robert Davoli, lead investor and Chairman of Aliro. “With Aliro Quantum-Powered Security, we’re moving beyond mathematical encryption and into a new era of absolute data, voice, and video protection.”
Unlike conventional cryptographic approaches that rely on computational complexity or the presumed “hardness” of certain math problems, Aliro Quantum-Powered Security harnesses the laws of quantum physics to ensure secure communication that is impervious to hacking. By utilizing quantum entanglement, any attempt to intercept or tamper with the network is immediately detectable, making breaches impossible and deterring bad actors looking to harvest and decrypt organizations’ sensitive data.
Aliro Quantum-Powered Security is relevant and being evaluated for the most sensitive network connections in the world including for the financial industry, governments, telcos and energy. These networks include data center to data center, headquarters to data center, and critical hub and spoke networks.
Aliro is committed to bringing the most advanced quantum security solutions to industries including finance, defense, healthcare, and telecommunications. This pioneering approach represents the next evolution in secure communications, ensuring data integrity and privacy in an increasingly connected world.
Aliro will demonstrate Aliro Quantum-Powered Security at RSAC April 28th through May 1st, 2025. Stop by Booth #6080 North Expo Hall to see the demo and meet with the team.
