Description

Quantum-resistant encrypted communications is of
particular importance in the context of recent advancements in
quantum computing. Existing technologies such as Quantum Key
Distribution achieve this, but are not suitable for general-purpose
communication due to limited key rates. In this work, we propose
a VPN solution enhanced by QKD for quantum-resistant en-
cryption, we implement it using IDQ Cerberis XG QKD devices,
and we test its general-purpose capabilities by performing an
encrypted video-conference between two endpoints.
