Entanglement-Based Network Security: AliroNet Quickstart offers secure communication using quantum entanglement for key distribution, protecting against quantum and classical threats.
Configurable Test Environment: The product supports pilot, testbed, or production environments for building and testing secure networks.
Compatible and Scalable: It works with fiber optic networks and multiple hardware configurations at room temperature, aligning with classical networking systems.
Aliro has launched AliroNet® Quickstart, a bundled product that offers hardware and software for creating quantum networks based on entanglement. Designed for use cases such as key distribution, quantum processor networking, and sensor connectivity, AliroNet Quickstart provides tools to help organizations pilot and deploy secure communication systems. This approach aligns with the growing need for data protection in both quantum and classical cybersecurity contexts.
AliroNet Quickstart replaces traditional public key sharing with entanglement-based shared key generation, enhancing security for data, voice, and video transmission. Organizations can integrate AliroNet with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to create layered security frameworks. This ensures a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy for critical infrastructure by combining classical and quantum security methods.
"When current encryption technology is fast becoming obsolete, enterprises need to fundamentally rethink and change how they protect data. AliroNet Quickstart enables them to be proactive in their approach to protect themselves and their data from both quantum and classical cybersecurity attacks." – Jim Ricotta, CEO, Aliro
The product offers a configurable environment that supports testbeds, pilot projects, and production use cases. It is compatible with hardware at the physical layer needed to generate and measure entangled photons. AliroNet Quickstart is initially available for fiber optic networks, offering two wavelength options to suit different deployment needs.
AliroNet Quickstart is suitable for enterprises, government agencies, telecommunications providers, and researchers building secure quantum networks. The product’s ability to combine classical and quantum networking enhances flexibility and ensures it can support a range of communication requirements. It also plays a role in networking quantum processors and sensors, enabling more connected and resilient systems.
The product operates at room temperature, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for specialized cooling equipment. With its compatibility across multiple hardware configurations, AliroNet Quickstart can be used to explore and validate different quantum networking scenarios. The tool helps enterprises assess and prepare for quantum computing’s impact on infrastructure and security frameworks.
Aliro’s leadership team, including Chief Product Officer Dr. Eric Ostby, emphasizes the importance of preparing organizations for the dual impact of quantum computing opportunities and risks. As quantum technologies scale, solutions like AliroNet Quickstart offer enterprises a pathway to stay ahead of cybersecurity challenges. Aliro plans to continue refining its products to meet evolving market needs and ensure customers are ready for the quantum era.
"We announce the Aliro QuickStart network in response to customer feedback, we see a need for entanglement-based networks for secure communication, networking quantum processors and sensors." – Dr. Eric Ostby, Chief Product Officer, Aliro
