Sovereign Cloud Australia (AUCloud), a leader in sovereign Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Arqit Quantum (Arqit), a leader in quantum-safe encryption, are pleased to announce the general availability of the Asia Pacific region\u2019s first Quantum Safe Symmetric Key Agreement Software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Powered by Arqit\u2019s QuantumCloud, the service is available now from AUCloud as a Platform as a Service (PaaS), enabling quantum-safe encryption capability for the Australian market and near-Region customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service enables governments and enterprises to protect today against \u2018Harvest Now, Decrypt Later\u2019 quantum computing attacks and greatly improve the security of a variety of IoT, defence and financial services applications, which is unachievable with other post-quantum cryptographic methods. Arqit is the only company in the world to publish an independent assurance report demonstrating that its software makes keys which are Zero Trust and Computationally Secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As leaders in the quantum environment, this is a critical milestone for Australia\u2019s capability and is a demonstration of the close collaboration promoted by the AUKUS trilateral security pact between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, announced on 15th<\/sup> September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn partnership with Arqit, we are proud to offer the first Symmetric Key Agreement Software (SKAS) service to the Australian market and near-region customers,\u201d said Phil Dawson, Managing Director and Co-Founder of AUCloud. \u201cWith our strong commitment to sovereign data protection, we are hugely excited by the potential of AUCloud\u2019s sovereign Symmetric Key Agreement Software to provide post-quantum safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt a time when the public is even more conscious of personal data security and in light of the recent announcement by the Australian Government on its consultation process on its quantum strategy, AUCloud\u2019s SKAS will further reduce the risk of data compromise for all Australians. Experience providing SKAS to early adopter customers will create even greater Australian leadership in this important and developing market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are excited to offer Arqit\u2019s globally unique software in Australia in partnership with AUCloud,\u201d said Arqit Founder, Chairman and CEO David Williams. \u201cOur partnership builds on the huge amount of work Australia is doing in the quantum space and will enable us to deliver significant advantage to sovereign customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sovereign Cloud Australia (AUCloud), a leader in sovereign Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Arqit Quantum (Arqit), a leader in quantum-safe encryption, are pleased to announce the general availability of the Asia Pacific region\u2019s first Quantum Safe Symmetric Key Agreement Software.
