KETS Quantum Security is a UK-based company that develops chip-based quantum security hardware products, specifically Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) technologies. The company's products are designed to be compact and energy-efficient, targeting scalability across a wide range of deployment environments. Products and Technologies: - QKD (Quantum Key Distribution): Distributes cryptographic keys using the principles of quantum mechanics, providing security grounded in physical laws rather than computational complexity. - QRNG (Quantum Random Number Generator): Generates truly random numbers using quantum mechanics, intended for use in applications requiring high unpredictability and security. - KETS Kore: A product line focused on use cases such as hardening satellite communications, securing control planes (supporting TLS, IPsec, MACsec, and PQC), and securing internal networks on naval vessels. Target Markets: - Defense and military (including naval and satellite applications) - Finance - Critical infrastructure - Telecommunications Key use cases include upgrading telecom networks with quantum-safe encryption, securing data centre off-site backups, controlling and monitoring critical infrastructure, generating quantum-random passwords and PINs, and seeding classical encryption algorithms with quantum entropy. KETS has received funding through a £1.7m Innovate UK contract for next-generation QKD development and has participated in the Creative Destruction Lab quantum incubator program. The company is headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom.
