Quantum Optics Jena's ELVIS system has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first quantum communication solution to withstand rigorous independent security testing against hardware-based side-channel attacks. This validation under ISO/IEC 23837 standards confirms that commercial Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems can now rely on robust physical implementations rather than just theoretical physics for real-world security. The results provide a critical foundation for establishing future certification standards, addressing the gap between idealized quantum encryption and practical hardware vulnerabilities.

Quantum Optics Jena’s ELVIS System Passes Independent Security Testing for Quantum Communication

The Quantum InsiderAugust 6, 20263 min read

Insider Brief Press release – Quantum Optics Jena GmbH today announced that its ELVIS system has become the world’s first quantum communication system to resist real-world quantum hacking tricks, passing the most-rigorous round of independent security testing to date. The ELVIS system was subject to six tests, under ISO/IEC 23837, conducted over three months by […]

Quantum Optics Jena’s ELVIS quantum communication system passed six independent security tests conducted under ISO/IEC 23837 by TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH. The evaluation tested the system against potential hardware-based side-channel attacks targeting components such as lasers, detectors, and optical elements used in quantum key distribution systems. Quantum Optics Jena said the testing supports efforts…
