NATO Cyber Security Centre experiments with secure network capable of withstanding attack by quantum computers


Scientists have predicted that quantum computers will one day be able to break some commonly used encryption methods.

That’s why NATO and Allies are already testing post-quantum solutions.

The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has successfully tested secure communication flows in a post-quantum world using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) provided by the United Kingdom-based company Post-Quantum. The NATO Cyber Security Centre, which is run by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency), protects NATO networks 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Post-Quantum provides different algorithms to ensure security, even when facing attackers using quantum computing. A VPN can use these
