QuintessenceLabs Demonstrates World-First Interoperation of 2nd Generation Quantum Security at RSA Conference 2012

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- QuintessenceLabs, the leader in quantum security technology, has successfully demonstrated the seamless interoperation of its advanced 2nd generation quantum security technology with key management solutions from leading vendors participating in the OASIS KMIP Interoperability Demonstration at the world's largest security technology event - RSA Conference 2012.

QuintessenceLabs' Quantum Security Product Family (QSPF) offers best-in-class functionality including quantum key generation, quantum key distribution, advanced key management, and a comprehensive suite of cryptographic services. Leveraging the unique quantum properties of state-of-the-art lasers, QuintessenceLabs has developed highly secure key management and encryption products. The Quantum Key Manager (QKM) manages enterprise keys for data-in-transit, data-in-use, and data-at-rest applications.

QSPF incorporates innovative quantum technology developed by QuintessenceLabs. Premised on the laws of physics, the security of QSPF is not susceptible to computational and mathematical advances that threaten the security of other conventional cryptographic systems. By supporting the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP), QKM interoperates with third party devices and applications - achieving true, multi-vendor interoperability for management of key material, security policy enforcement, common audit and logging, and separation of duty for a wide range of cryptographic devices and applications.

"This successful demonstration of interoperation of QKM with KMIP partners' appliances represents a significant milestone and is an important precursor to the commercial availability of the system," said Vikram Sharma, founder and CEO of QuintessenceLabs, "We are delighted with the strong interest shown in our technology by delegates at the RSA Conference."

About OASIS KMIP

The OASIS KMIP TC works to define a single, comprehensive protocol for communication between encryption systems and a broad range of new and legacy enterprise applications. By removing redundant, incompatible key management processes, KMIP will provide better data security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products.
