This partnership marks a practical shift from theoretical quantum security to deployable infrastructure by integrating KETS' chip-based QKD directly with Cisco's IOS XR routing platforms. By leveraging existing MACsec technology, the solution enables end-to-end encryption for critical sectors like finance and defense without requiring disruptive network overhauls. This interoperability demonstrates that quantum-safe networking is moving toward scalable enterprise adoption rather than remaining in isolated research environments.

KETS chip-based QKD now works with Cisco’s network routers

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 15, 20263 min read

Cisco and KETS Quantum Security announced the successful integration of KETS’ chip-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology with Cisco’s IOS XR-based routing infrastructure. This partnership is a significant step toward scalable, quantum-secure networking for enterprise and critical infrastructure environments.

Cisco and KETS Quantum Security have integrated chip-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology with Cisco’s IOS XR routing infrastructure, demonstrating a functional quantum-safe networking solution, the company says. The partnership combines KETS’ QKD system, which generates encryption keys secured by quantum physics, with Cisco routers and existing Media Access Control Security (MACsec) technology, delivering end-to-end encryption without disrupting network…
