pQKD Rack-Mounted Version
The pQKD rack-mounted version features standard 1U casing with compact dimensions. It comes with a built in reliable power supply.
pQKD – QKD emulators
pQKD is Quantum B's groundbreaking cybersecurity product designed to accelerate the transition toward quantum-resistant cryptographic systems. It distributes cryptographic keys over a post-quantum-secured out-of-band channel — no fiber optic links required — while preserving full ETSI QKD protocol interfaces (ETSI GS QKD 004 and 014) and integrating a genuine on-chip QRNG from ID Quantique. A single deployable appliance that works with existing network infrastructure, today.
Key features
pQKD integrates post-quantum key encapsulation, quantum entropy, and ETSI QKD protocol emulation into one appliance — interoperable with any network-layer encryption device or VPN supporting ETSI-style key exchange, without requiring dedicated quantum fiber.
-
ETSI Standards Compliant
Implements QKD protocols per ETSI GS QKD 004 and ETSI GS QKD 014 — the global communication standards for QKD technology. Interoperable with any ETSI-ready encryption device or VPN appliance.
-
Network Independent
Operates without dedicated fiber optic links. Distributes keys over an out-of-band channel on existing IP infrastructure via standard RJ-45 LAN interfaces — dramatically lowering deployment friction.
-
FIPS-203 / Kyber
The key distribution channel is secured by the Kyber post-quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) per the FIPS-203 standard — engineered to withstand cryptanalytic attacks from future quantum computers.
-
Genuine QRNG
Incorporates the Quantis IDQ6MC1 on-chip Quantum Random Number Generator by ID Quantique, operating independently of the QKD emulation function as a high-grade local entropy source accessible via REST API over HTTPS.
-
Advanced Encryption
Also functions as a standalone network encryptor supporting AES with key lengths 128, 256, 512, 1024 and 2048 bits (GCM256, CBC256, ECB modes) and the provably secure OTP (one-time pad) method.
-
Managed & Monitored
Full web interface for interactive setup and configuration, SNMP v1/v2/v3 monitoring, and onboard status LEDs reporting device state, QKD active, and QRNG active at a glance.
Hardware
Available versions
pQKD ships as a compact desktop appliance (90 × 65 × 33 mm, USB-C 5 V) or a standard 1U rack-mount unit with a built-in power supply. Minimum setup requires two devices — one acting as "Alice" and one as "Bob". Choose a product and place your order; shipping is calculated after receipt and payment is collected via a secure link on the order tracking page.
pQKD Desktop Version
The pQKD desktop version features a standalone casing with compact dimensions: 90mm × 65mm × 33mm (L × W × H). It comes with a small external USB C power supply for convenient setup and operation.

Why pQKD?
pQKD enables organizations to begin the transition to quantum-safe key distribution earlier and with far less friction than full QKD. It is particularly well suited to environments that need stronger security now — without waiting for the economics or availability of dedicated quantum infrastructure:
- Critical infrastructure — energy, water, transport, and industrial control networks
- Distributed industrial networks, robotics, and operational environments with existing IP connectivity
- Enterprise, telecom, and data-center environments requiring long-term confidentiality
- Organizations that cannot defer quantum-safe migration and need an evolutionary, staged path
- A clear upgrade path — pQKD can later be evolved into full physical QKD where higher assurance or dedicated quantum infrastructure is justified
The device design is covered by a pending patent for "A method and a device for encryption key distribution and communication". CE-certified pre-production units manufactured by Eutonomy are currently available and shipping.
