QuantLR Ltd. announced that it has integrated its technology with NVIDIA's suite of networking offerings, paving the way towards a quantum-secured data center. As part of the project, QuantLR's QKD system connected and transferred encryption keys to two NVIDIA ConnectX-6 NICs. The interface was achieved using the ETSI REST-based key delivery API.
During the process, different scenarios were tested: using different fiber lengths, attenuations and key distribution rates. The project was conducted within the framework of a consortium which is partially funded by the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) and the Israel Ministry of Defense - Directorate of Defense Research & Development, and supported by the Israeli Quantum initiative led by Dr. Tal David.
