QTI s.r.l. (Quantum Telecommunications Italy) is a Quatum Security company.
Based in Florence, QTI was established in 2020 as a spin-off of the National Institute of Optics of the National Research Council (CNR-INO) and is today a subsidiary of Telsy S.p.A., the centre of excellence for communications security and cybersecurity within TIM Enterprise.
QTI engineers, develops and manufactures complex QKD-based telecommunications network architectures, with the vision of promoting the use of quantum technologies in industry, government and defence to ensure the highest level of security for digital communications.
The partnership between QTI and Telsy enables the seamless integration of QTI’s quantum-safe solutions with Telsy’s encryption systems. The positioning of this partnership within the TIM Group also provides a unique opportunity for the implementation of QTI-Telsy solutions in existing telecommunications networks.
Since its foundation, QTI has contributed, through its experts, to major tests, experiments and the implementation of QKD at national and European level. Among other, in August 2021, QTI supported the first public demonstration of intergovernmental quantum communication between three nodes (Trieste, Ljubljana and Rijeka) during the G20 Digital Ministers’ Meeting. In 2024, QTI, together with Telsy and TIM, established a secure communication link during the G7 Summit held in Borgo Egnazia.
QTI is also a provider of QKD systems for the development of the Italian quantum communication backbone and those of other European Union member states as part of the European Commission’s EuroQCI project, and a supplier of quantum-safe solutions for national and international clients.
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Present-day public-key cryptography is believed to offer security against an eavesdropper equipped with a powerful conventional computer. However, the length of the keys must be continuously increased to keep up with advancing technology, leading to inefficiency in the execution of the algorithms.
The discovery of quantum algorithms speeding up the solution of complex problems has prompted recent work to redefine the security assumptions of public-key cryptography.
QKD is a physical layer method that allows future-proof data encryption, exhibiting a secure way of distributing random keys between distant users. Such secret keys can be used by existing cypher machines to guarantee the ultimate security of digital communication.
PRODUCTS
Quell-X
Quell-X is a complete QKD system consisting of an Alice unit and a Bob unit capable of generating quantum keys for ultra-secure communications. The security of the keys is ensured by the laws of quantum mechanics, which allow to identify any attempt to intercept information in the communication channel.
QKME
The Key Management Entity (KME) is a state-of-the-art network device capable of performing secure key storage and distribution according to the latest standards. The QKME ensures compatibility and interoperability between different systems and infrastructures in complex networks.
QSDN
The QSDN solution combines the unconditional security of QKD with the benefits of Software Defined Network (SDN). Based on the ETSI GS QKD 015 standard, it enables dynamic and optimised configuration of QKD links in complex networks.
Ekate
A network appliance that combines the most advanced cryptographic key distribution solutions into a single system to enhance the resilience of existing telecommunications networks, enabling quantum-resistant security. Ekate enables advanced cryptographic key management, supporting both physical key distribution, via Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and mathematical key distribution, using Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Ekate ensures the secure storage and distribution of keys, applying the latest standards in the field of QKD; It integrates PQC algorithms to securely distribute cryptographic keys over long distances or in any network configuration.
