ABOUT GOVERNMENT & DEFENCE

Cyber attacks are amongst the highest risks managed by the Defence, Government and Critical Infrastructure Boards. The ability to create and establish an assured and resilient data and communications network is paramount to assert and retain information security over adversarial threats.

Current systems are not scalable and will struggle to meet increasing scale, threat surface and connectivity requirements.

Stronger, simpler encryption

Arqit SKA Platform™ is a paradigm shift in technology capability for customers' missions and outcomes. Our symmetric key agreement platform offers real-time forward security and zero and split trust operational advantages, whilst also proactively defeating quantum threats and being capable of delivery with complete enterprise or sovereign autonomy.

GOVERNMENT & DEFENCE

Challenges

01

Forward security

Integration allows networks to attain higher grade security with dynamic symmetric key proliferation and ratcheting keys for forward security, all at the pace and frequency determined by the mission sensitivity

02

Security to the entire
technology stack

Implementation through layers 2 to 7 allows data communications between endpoints to be protected by symmetric keys across any network (public or closed) and such data-in-transit is safe from store now decrypt later attacks

03

Split trust

Our split trust design means that Arqit SKA Platform™ has no knowledge of or access to the session keys, or to data exchanged and agreed across the network

04

Real-time access and
denial management

Network endpoints can be managed as individuals or security groups. Further real-time remote management allows access, removal and re-keying to match security postures and threats

05

No rip and replace

As a software platform the solution can be integrated into the technology stack through APIs and SDKs,  minimising any rip and replace hardware costs

06

Radically improves
information
dissemination

Legacy policy requirements for manually managing crypt key devices are removed and replaced with digital management, which further allows hyperscaling of symmetric keys across all network devices

07

Sovereign and enterprise
autonomy

In addition to our Platform as a Service solution, Arqit SKA Platform can be installed as a private instance, offering full autonomy and sovereign control with the user's managed environment

08

Supports the IT
ecosystem

Being a platform solution with standard interfaces, Arqit SKA Platform provides freedom of architectures, integration and management concepts of operations across users, allies, partners and approved third parties

Providing high grade security
for nation states

 

  • High-grade cryptography

  • Data in transit and data at rest
