Juniper Beyond Labs & Quantum Bridge Partnership Fireside Chat 2: Introducing our Joint Solution

0:01 [Music]

0:07 hello and thanks for joining I'm Shila

0:10 Nesh marketing lead for Juniper Beyond

0:12 Labs Juniper's Quantum save VPN solution

0:16 enables Network operators to secure IPC

0:19 and maxc vpns against quantum computer

0:22 aided attacks it does this by combining

0:25 VPN protocol enhancements which can be

0:28 deployed on nearly all our Juniper

0:30 platforms with complimentary key

0:33 material provided by all of our

0:35 thirdparty partners this ensures that

0:38 your network traffic is safe and secure

0:41 from inevitable Quantum threats without

0:43 looking into proprietary Hardware based

0:46 Solutions which may become obsolete with

0:48 future regulatory changes I'm here today

0:51 with Matia Montagna co-founder and CEO

0:54 of quantum bridge to share more of how

0:56 he's leveraged Juniper's platforms with

0:58 his distributed sem key establishment

1:01 solution dsk Matia thanks for joining us

1:05 today to share more about the joint

1:07 solution thank you very much for

1:08 inviting me here sh so I know that you

1:10 recently were at the G7 Workshop in Rome

1:13 and you talked a little bit about um our

1:16 solution and Quantum Bridges so can you

1:18 tell us a little bit more about um what

1:20 this solution is and what types of

1:23 customers typically use it yes for sure

1:26 um the the use case that we are seeing

1:29 uh right now in the in the market is the

1:31 combination of ipac solution like the

1:34 Juniper vsrx or the Juniper SRX series

1:37 together with the key distribution

1:39 system that allow for Quantum secure

1:42 communication um Juniper was one of the

1:44 first adopter of the RFC 8784 that allow

1:48 for the integration of external

1:50 cryptographic materials into ipac uh

1:53 into the IPC protocol and uh the vsrx

1:57 and the SRX here is a great example of

1:59 that and also Juniper was one of the

2:01 first adopter of the standard produced

2:03 by hety that allowed the integration of

2:05 external key distribution system for the

2:08 delivery of quantum safe key material um

2:11 so the demonstration that we had in the

2:13 context of the um of the G7 Workshop was

2:16 the use of our um symmetric key

2:19 distribution solution which is indeed

2:21 based on the dsk protocol together with

2:24 the um routers ipx routers and and

2:27 firewall um like Juniper vs

2:30 to allow for layer three Quantum safe um

2:34 communication and one of the main

2:36 advantages of dsk is that it guarantees

2:40 what is called information thetical

2:41 security meaning that you can uh

2:44 mathematically prove that you cannot

2:46 break the key distribution with a

2:48 quantum computer um differently for

2:50 example than Quantum key distribution

2:52 solution or pqc solution and so the

2:55 integration of the two allow to build a

2:57 global platform that uh are provably

3:00 safe against Quantum computational

3:02 attack so there was a demonstration

3:04 there um in the context of the of the

3:07 workshop in Rome where we used the um

3:11 Juniper vsrx um appliances together with

3:14 the dsk protocol to provide a layer

3:17 three Quantum safe IPC uh Channel

3:20 between multiple countries so thanks for

3:22 sharing a little bit about the solution

3:25 that you demoed at the G7 Workshop I'm

3:28 curious if you've had had customers

3:30 express interest in the solution or

3:33 trying it out surely um there are there

3:36 are a few vertical which are

3:38 particularly interested in having a

3:41 migration start to planning for a

3:42 migration into Quantum security and

3:45 understand exactly um how a migration

3:47 would work for them and uh and a

3:50 relatively good number of them already

3:52 started to test or to deploy solution

3:54 like a Quantum bra solution the main the

3:56 main vertical we see where there is a

3:58 strong interest are the

3:59 telecommunication

4:00 um sectors or telecommunication

4:02 companies especially uh ones involved in

4:06 5G 6G infrastructure which have a very

4:08 long lifespan right so they need to look

4:10 into the future of the security for

4:12 those type of infrastructure um

4:15 governments and intelligence agencies

4:17 there is definitely a strong interest

4:18 there I think the reason is there u in

4:21 their case the data that they need to

4:24 they deal with is a very long lifespan

4:26 data so it's data that in 20 years 30

4:28 years is still very important for

4:30 Nations so National Security System

4:32 intelligence defense and then critical

4:35 infrastructure as well so anything that

4:38 deals with um either very long-term umle

4:43 very longterm um infrastructure

4:46 like uh power grid uh nuclear plants any

4:49 sort of critical system for a nation

4:52 that needs to stay in place for very

4:54 long long term so uh telecommunication

4:56 company government critical

4:58 infrastructure those are sector which

5:00 are starting to experimenting with the

5:02 quantum security some are planning some

5:04 are already deploying this type of

5:06 solutions I want to touch a little bit

5:08 more about go back to the workshop that

5:10 we talked about earlier um you had

5:12 mentioned to me that there was a

5:14 financial services company that you were

5:15 actually working with for this solution

5:18 can you tell a little bit more about how

5:19 they've implemented it um surely the the

5:22 idea there is that uh um those financial

5:26 institution they uh regularly upgrade

5:28 the network uh and when the time comes

5:32 they look at the major thread that they

5:33 foresee for the next five to 10 years

5:36 because those are the timeline that they

5:38 use for implementing and for upgrading

5:41 their their infrastructure um and so

5:43 we're working with a group of financial

5:45 institutions that are upgrading their

5:47 networks and they have a forward-looking

5:49 vision of how this infrastructure should

5:52 look like and they are very aware of the

5:55 quantum threat and so we're working with

5:57 companies like Juniper to provide the

5:59 best solution for companies who has a

6:01 forward-looking view and they want to

6:03 stay ahead of the thread um and make

6:06 sure that the investment they do today

6:07 for upgrading their infrastructure keep

6:10 maintaining value for the next decade I

6:12 love hearing that there customers who

6:14 are expressing interest on combating the

6:16 quantum threat and I look forward to

6:18 hearing more around their progress with

6:20 your Solutions thank you for sharing

6:22 more about their experience thank you

6:24 very mucha for asking for those of you

6:26 who are curious to learn more about

6:28 Quantum Bridge junor Beyond labs and

6:30 Juniper Networks take a look at the

6:33 links in the description below thank you

6:35 so much for joining us today
