Grants and Contributions

BasejumpSKI is EVQ’s solution to address the regulatory requirements for Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration by 2030-2035. BasejumpSKI’s patented Multimodal protocol uses a hybrid PQC implementation and enables quantum-safe and long-term secure protection of data with cryptographic resilience.

The purpose of the Canadian International Innovation Program (CIIP) grant agreement is to support Canadian SMEs identify international partners in CIIP target countries for industrial research and development collaboration that has good potential for commercialization.

Design and develop a cloud-based software product for planning and simulating a quantum network using available services from telecommunication companies and satellite service providers that supply Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technologies as a service option to their customers.

The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

The project aims at creating a relevant environment to integrate fiber and satellite links in a combined Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) network. The environment will enable development of software suitable to deploy in a satellite payload and validate key routing protocols required for a mixed fiber and satellite QKD network. Cryptography is a pillar for secure communication, enabling many of the network-based social and financial interactions at the core of the modern society and economy. Cryptographic schemes are based on sharing cryptographic keys between the communicating parties and need technologies for establishing such keys. This is a challenge particularly for Canada, due to its geographical expanse. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) aims at creating shared cryptographic keys by exploiting the fundamental laws of quantum physics. Satellite-based QKD networks working in conjunction with terrestrial QKD networks expands the limited coverage range inherent in terrestrial QKD networks.

Product features needed for export markets targeting the space technology market. Commercial IP protections for product in export markets.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a cybersecurity technology that has the potential to provide long-term network protection but has yet to be demonstrated to satisfy the security and functional requirements for government use. This project will endeavor to integrate a QKD Key Management System (QKD-KMS) into a simulated high-assurance network, identifying and closing security gaps in the QKD-KMS architecture that fail to meet high-assurance requirements. These simulations will provide metrics to help identify suitable high-assurance use cases with the final goal of demonstrating a proof-of-concept integration of the QKD-KMS system into a centralized key management facility.
