KT-LGU +, the first international standard for quantum cryptography

The quantum cryptographic communication network technology jointly proposed by seven organizations of national quantum cryptographic communication companies, including KT and LG Yuplus, has been approved as the ITU International Standard.

ITU – At the thirteenth meeting of the research group, the request for standardization of the quantum cryptographic communication network of seven national institutes and research institutes was approved and the international standard presented by ITU was adopted as a draft standard of the ITU Quantum Cryptographic Communication Network

Technology approved as an international standard includes: ▲ The structure and function of the network for quantum cryptographic communication ▲ L & # 39; interface between quantum cryptographic communication network transmission equipment ▲ Service procedure technology. In February, KT constructed the world's first one-to-many (1: N) quantum cryptographic test network structure with KIST

For example, when a hacker tries to listen to a large national telecommunication network, the quantum telecommunication network can recognize it and, at the same time, stop the critical service and connect it to a new security path.

In order to ensure the security of the communication infrastructure, KT encouraged the development of quantum cryptographic communication technology

LG U + also worked with leading research institutes such as KIST, ETRI, KAIST, Telemarketing, EYL, Woori,

In the field of industry-university-industry research, we have carried out various interworking tests of networks such as enterprise telephony, the interoperability of data center networks and data centers, the interworker and the SDN The two companies, which continued to cooperate with global organizations and manufacturers, will be the first to enter the industry of Domestic Quantum Cryptographic Communication

Jeon Hong-beom, Director of the Infrastructure Research Center of the KT Convergence Institute of Technology, said, "This achievement has has been proven in KT's philosophy of strengthening national competitiveness through the collaboration of the domestic industry. "KT will continue to develop quantum cryptographic communication network technology in collaboration with national research institutes, universities and excellent cooperation companies, and will strive to improve the competitiveness of related services. . "

Said, "We will lead the new technology standard by securing various security technologies that can solve the network security threat by launching the standardization activity of security technology. We will promote the development of the future network technology of domestic manufacturers, I will ensure the competitiveness of security technology. "
