Quantum Xchange gives commercial enterprises and government agencies a solution for protecting data in motion. Its key distribution system, Phio Trusted Xchange (TX), is capable of making existing encryption keys quantum safe and supports both post-quantum crypto (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) for true crypto agility and quantum readiness. With Phio TX’s dynamic security infrastructure in place, organizations can enhance their existing encryption environment, meet evolving data security and privacy requirements, select the level of protection needed based on their risk tolerance, and if desired scale to QKD at any time, across any distance, between multiple transmission points.
Phio TX can support both math and physics-based encryption techniques – most notably Post-Quantum Cryptographic (PQC) algorithms, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and Quantum Random Number Generated (QRNG) keys.
