Symmatrics trials quantum-encrypted network with one-time pads
Symmatrics, led by CEO Walter Raquet, is piloting an encryption system that ditches passwords for one-time pad keys, each generated using quantum random number generators. Each transaction gets a unique key that’s used once and then destroyed, moving away from traditional math-based security. Their network runs on dedicated hardware and is currently being tested by several companies, with federal certification efforts underway before the 2027 quantum security deadline.
- One-time pads generated with quantum random number hardware
- System uses no passwords or reusable credentials
- Network hardware currently undergoing company trials
- No NIST quantum security certification yet
- Aims to meet 2027 federal quantum-resistance deadline
