Insider Brief
SeQure Quantum deployed a quantum-safe communication link between Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional and an electricity sector operator, combining quantum random number generation, post-quantum cryptography, and high-security encryptors to protect critical infrastructure communications.
The project addresses the growing “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threat, in which attackers collect encrypted data today with the intention of decrypting it in the future using quantum computers.
The deployment, validated with support from Thales Group and independently assessed by Dreamlab Technologies, is intended to demonstrate Chile’s ability to develop and operate quantum-safe cybersecurity systems for sectors including energy, telecommunications, finance, water, and defense.
