Clarion KX is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution which effortlessly ensures telecommunication networks are resistant to quantum computer attacks. Assuring long-term confidentiality of your data against “harvest now, decrypt later” cyber attacks has been our mission.
Purpose-built for large-scale quantum-safe key distribution, Clarion KX delivers the highest end-to-end security for data in transit.
Already field-proven in nationwide deployments, Clarion KX platform intelligently leverages both algorithm-based encryption and quantum physics-based communication security to ensure a highly secure out of band key exchange anywhere on the network. It tightly integrates with the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) infrastructure to leverage long term security of key generation and encryption. It also leverages the highest available NIST-approved source of randomness, Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG), together with hybrid cryptography to ensure maximum level of security.
Cryptographic migrations are complex and costly endeavors. Organizations can now leverage multiple cryptographic technologies to both lower the migration risks and costs, as well as to mitigate the long-term risk to their data posed by the rapidly emerging quantum threat.
Clarion KX enables a new ecosystem of quantum-safe connectivity and services to perfectly fit the needs of its customers.
Clarion KX software platform extends QKD networks beyond point-to-point: it acts as the glue of the QKD network and ensures long-distance reach of the quantum keys through the QKD network and beyond.
It orchestrates the key distribution in real time across complex network topologies, ensuring secure key delivery to encryption appliances regardless of their locations on the network.
Clarion KX supplies keys over industry standard interfaces to encryptors on any OSI layer whether that being optical, MACSec or IPSec based VPN.
Clarion KX enables new Quantum-Key as a Service (IaaS) as well as Quantum-Safe bandwidth as a Service (PaaS) offerings that our telecom partners can easily extend to their B-to-B customers.
These telecom bundles allow for an enterprise organization to benefit from the best-in-class quantum-safe network security without any capital expenditures, time investment, and overwhelming complexity of the migration.
With IDQ’s Clarion KX ecosystem, QKD security – hence forward security – is always at the center of the solution to guarantee the highest level of data protection for governments, enterprise companies and people. It is continuously evolving with the aim of helping you achieving end-to-end Post Quantum security.
Cerberis XG / Clavis XG
IDQ QKD systems and Clarion KX software all-in-one. Included in all IDQ’s XG Series of QKD systems.
Use cases
Small and large network infrastructures focusing on simplicity of integration and management of the QKD technology.
Advantages
Supports all features offered by Clarion KX ecosystem, plus:
Solteris Network Appliance
Standalone KMS appliance with embedded IDQ QRNG running Clarion KX software suite.
Use cases
Quantum-safe networks requiring increased redundancy, multi-QKD vendor support, or if a separate hardware for Q-KMS is required.
Advantages
Supports all features offered by Clarion KX ecosystem, plus:
The Q-KMS and Software layer above the QKD system plays a critical role in maintaining a coherent security ecosystem to guarantee end-to-end Post Quantum security. Therefore, IDQ products focus on addressing all the following aspects:
Management of critical assets
Management and monitoring channels
User management and authentication
System life cycle
Agile and certified cryptographic modules
All the features listed above depend on secure operations, which means the use of cryptographic modules needs to be certified (for international or domestic needs). And, when not relying on QKD technology, it needs the capacity to be updated regularly to follow the new patch or developments in the field of cryptography.
Clarion KX platform comes with flexible and transparent commercial subscription models and levels that fit the needs of various use cases, industry segments, and sizes of deployments. Non-commercial and Academia users benefit from a special tier of pricing.
Clarion KX platform is included in all IDQ’s XG Series of QKD systems. For QKD agnostic deployments, it can be provided in standalone Solteris KX hardware system.
