New Technology Ventures has secured a unique and valuable relationship with global R&D firm Battelle to commercialize select de-risked technologies developed by Battelle. With over $6 billion in annual revenues, Battelle has a long-standing global presence in advancing innovation in science and technology.
Our first collaboration with this arrangement relates to cybersecurity; a space where Battelle has established a well earned reputation for leadership and innovation. It is well known in the world of cybersecurity that the looming availability of quantum computers will render useless all existing protocols for encrypting data. The only provably secure solution for the exchange of shared secret encryption keys is to replace the use of mathematical encryption algorithms with physics. Enhancing existing encryption key exchanges with quantum key distribution (QKD) results in forward secrecy, fail-safe detection and foiling of all eavesdropping attempts on transmitted data. Our business, QKD, Inc., holds exclusive rights to the only technology that can extend – to any distance – the exchange of quantum keys between any two endpoints. The QKD Trusted Node (QKD TN) was developed jointly by Battelle Memorial Institute and IDQ, and has been thoroughly tested and deployed in a 650 km network connecting Battelle’s headquarters with its production facility near Columbus, Ohio. Our quantum-safe technology finally offers intelligence agencies, financial institutions, healthcare facilities, critical infrastructure services, and cloud storage providers with a solution for securely transmitting data without fear of interception and deciphering from unauthorized agents. Overall, cybersecurity is a $67B market in 2014, estimated to reach $170B by 2020. Network security/encryption comprise 10% of overall market ($8B in 2015). Quantum cryptography market is projected to double by 2020 to $900M. Percentage of total security budget spent on encryption doubled from 2005-2013. With top tier expertise in the space, including Starnes Walker, Chris Whalen and Hal Chapel, QKD Inc. is uniquely position to capitalize on the imminent growth in this space. |
