Q*Bird

Q*Bird is a Dutch cybersecurity company specializing in quantum-safe cryptography and key management solutions. The company focuses on helping organizations prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), addressing the threat that quantum computers pose to current encryption standards. Q*Bird offers products and services designed to secure communications and data against quantum computing threats. Their solutions center on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptographic protocols, enabling organizations to establish cryptographically secure channels that are resistant to both classical and quantum attacks. The company targets enterprises, critical infrastructure operators, and government organizations that require long-term data confidentiality and are concerned about "harvest now, decrypt later" attack strategies employed by adversaries collecting encrypted data today for future decryption using quantum computers. Q*Bird's offerings include: - Quantum-safe key management and distribution infrastructure - Consulting and integration services for transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptography - Solutions aligned with emerging PQC standards (e.g., NIST PQC standardization process) The company is based in the Netherlands and operates within the European quantum security ecosystem, collaborating with research institutions and industry partners to advance quantum-safe networking technologies.
