Armos - Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a state-of-the-art appliance which provides unconditional security for your critical data by leveraging the principles of quantum physics.
Cloud platforms, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure need a Quantum Key Distribution Network (QKDN) because the encryption protecting their data today will not survive the agentic AI and quantum era. These sectors share one defining trait: data with a long shelf life. Financial records, government archives, and infrastructure control data must stay confidential for 10 to 25 years, far beyond the point at which a cryptographically relevant quantum computer can break RSA and ECC. Under the harvest-now, decrypt-later model, adversaries are already capturing this encrypted traffic to decrypt later, which means the exposure is present, not future.
QNU Labs QKDN closes this gap by allowing to use hybrid QKD network of distributing encryption keys using the laws of quantum physics and Digital QKD based on mathematical complexity. For cloud and finance, this secures interbank settlement, customer data, and inter-data-centre links. For critical infrastructure and telecom, it protects 5G backhaul and inter-agency communication across cities and states.
QNu's Armos QKD delivers this as a overlay quantum layer in control plane of existing networks. It integrates with current encryption through standard interfaces like ETSI-GS-QKD-0014 and SKIP protocol so organizations gain quantum-safe protection while their applications continue to run unchanged. For high-stakes sectors, QKDN is no longer optional infrastructure.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses quantum physics to securely distribute encryption keys. Armos (QKD) transmits keys using randomly generated photons over a fiber cable. These photons, in a quantum state, exchange quantum information to establish the same key at both ends.
QNu's Armos (QKD) delivers quantum keys that ensure unconditional security for two parties communicating securely, based on quantum physics. It detects eavesdroppers, providing secure symmetric key distribution for encrypting confidential data.
Any attempt to read photon information causes errors and collapses the keys, halting generation and alerting the admin. Key generation resumes when errors decrease. The key is never exchanged, making eavesdropping nearly impossible. The symmetric key remains a shared secret.

QNu’s Quantum Key Distribution Network (QKDN) architecture enables network operators to manage the full lifecycle of quantum-secure keys, including generation, distribution, and delivery. It supports multiple QKD technologies, including fibre-based and free-space QKD. At its core, Armos QKD sends randomly generated photons over standard single-mode optical fibre. Because each photon carries information in a delicate quantum state, the two endpoints can generate an identical symmetric key without the key itself ever traversing the link.
Its security is based on physics rather than computational complexity. The no-cloning theorem prevents an attacker from copying a photon’s quantum state, and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle ensures that any measurement disturbs it. If the signal is tampered with, degraded, or intercepted in a man-in-the-middle attack, the quantum bit error rate (QBER) rises above the acceptable threshold. When that happens, the QKD system discards the affected bits, stops key generation, and alerts the security team. Key generation resumes automatically once the QBER returns below the threshold.

Securing a large enterprise is very different from protecting a single connection. Modern organisations operate complex networks across data centres, branch offices, cloud regions, and partner ecosystems, all carrying sensitive traffic that must remain secure in the quantum era. Scalable QKD addresses this challenge by extending quantum-secure key distribution across the entire environment, not just one isolated link.
QNu Labs’ Armos QKD system is built to scale through a networked, multi-node architecture. Trusted nodes connect individual quantum links, allowing keys to be relayed securely over longer distances and across multiple sites. As demand grows, new nodes can be added to extend coverage, enabling a deployment that starts with one critical route to evolve into an enterprise-wide quantum-safe network.
For banks, telecom operators, government agencies, and large enterprises, this scalable model turns quantum-safe security from a pilot project into production infrastructure that protects the entire network today and well beyond Q-Day.
Today’s complex network infrastructure has been built over time and each of the devices have a specific role to play. With such complexities being a reality, Armos quantum key distribution (QKD) can be deployed in any present cryptographic system.
The quantum layer sits on top of the existing network, making the deployment and adoption seamless - be it a data centre or a hybrid model.
Armos QKD enables to create secure encryption keys for any two ends of a communication link for Symmetric Key Encryption system without ever sharing the actual keys on any links.
Quantum cryptography is the wider field of applying quantum mechanical properties for cryptographic purposes. QKD is the most mature and widely deployed application, specifically focused on secure key distribution. While quantum cryptography encompasses various quantum-based security techniques, QKD remains the most commercially viable with 30+ QNu deployments globally.
QNu's Armos QKD system achieves 150-200 km point-to-point, significantly exceeding the industry standard of 80-100 km. To extend beyond these distances, organisations deploy trusted node networks. QNu's 500 km intercity network demonstrates this scalability with only 4 nodes vs 10 for competitors, achieving 60% infrastructure reduction.
QKD costs have reduced significantly. While initial hardware asset investment is higher than traditional encryption, the total cost of ownership is competitive considering long-term security value and QNu's 60% infrastructure reduction. For defence, government, and high-security applications shielding data with 20-30 year confidentiality requirements, QKD is cost-effective.
Yes, QKD works over standard single-mode optical fibre used in telecommunications networks. Organisations don't need to lay new fibre infrastructure. QNu's 500 km network was deployed over existing optical fibre infrastructure in Rajasthan, demonstrating seamless integration. This means if you have fibre between locations, you can likely deploy QKD without additional fibre investment.
If QKD detects eavesdropping (via abnormal quantum bit error rates), it instantly discards compromised bits and alerts security teams—no communication continues with a risky key. The system then generates a new secure key using fresh quantum states. Continuous monitoring enables real-time threat detection, making automatic intrusion detection QKD’s key advantage over traditional encryption. QNu’s systems also provide detailed logs and alerts, integrating with SOC and SIEM platforms for enterprise-wide visibility
QKD integrates with existing cryptographic infrastructure through standard key management interfaces. It generates quantum-secure symmetric keys for conventional encryption systems like AES or one-time pads, ensuring current applications and network equipment function as usual—just with stronger keys. QNu’s solutions support standard APIs such as KMIP and PKCS#11 for seamless integration with HSMs, encryption appliances, and key management systems. The quantum advantage lies in secure key distribution, not infrastructure replacement. Deployment involves installing QKD endpoints, connecting them via fiber, and configuring key management—typically completed within days to weeks depending on scale.
No, quantum computers cannot break QKD—its fundamental advantage. Unlike RSA/ECC, which rely on mathematical complexity quantum computers shatter via Shor's algorithm, QKD's security stems from quantum physics: the no-cloning theorem prevents state copying, and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle detects any measurement disturbance. These are unbreakable laws of nature, not computational puzzles. Quantum computers even enhance QKD via repeaters, making it the ultimate quantum threat defense.
