Nokia and Turkcell Demonstrate Industry Leading Quantum-Safe
Protection for Mobile Subscribers
- Collaborative testing validates secure and trusted quantum-safe
IPsec protection against future network security threats
- First deployment of its kind marking critical step in securing
mobile networks against future threats posed by quantum
computing.
20 December 2024
Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Turkcell have successfully
demonstrated a world-first ability to implement quantum-safe IPsec
network cryptography for its mobile subscribers. This
groundbreaking achievement marks a critical step in securing mobile
networks against future threats posed by quantum computing. By
leveraging the latest cryptographic standards, Nokia and Turkcell
are proactively addressing the evolving landscape of network
security and ensuring the resilience of mobile communications well
into the future.
The introduction of quantum computing threatens traditional
cryptography methods, potentially making them vulnerable to
powerful quantum attacks capable of breaking conventional
cryptographic protections. As quantum computers continue to
advance, it is vital that networks evolve to counteract these
risks.
The successful integration of quantum-safe IPsec cryptography
into Turkcell’s mobile transport network as part of a
defense-in-depth crypto-resilient approach, sets a new benchmark
for network security. The demonstration was conducted with Nokia’s
globally deployed IPsec Security Gateway to secure critical data in
the face of evolving quantum threats.
By implementing advanced cryptography techniques now, both Nokia
and Turkcell are ensuring their networks are secure today while
also preparing for future advancements in technology.
For end users, this means continued confidence in the security of
their mobile communications. They can be assured that their data
will remain protected not just in the present, but also as the
landscape of technology evolves over time.
Prof. Dr. Vehbi
Çağrı
Güngör,
Turkcell Chief Network Technologies Officer, said: “This
test represents a significant milestone in the evolution of our
network security. As part of our strategy to continually enhance
the security of our mobile network, this collaboration with Nokia
provides us with the confidence that our transport security can
withstand the challenges of the quantum era. By demonstrating these
quantum-safe cryptography capabilities today, we are preparing our
network for the future.”
Rafael De Fermin, Senior Vice President of Network
Infrastructure Europe, Nokia said: “Through our
collaboration with Turkcell we’ve shown how our quantum-safe IPsec
technology can protect mobile networks against the evolving
security threat landscape. This initiative is part of our ongoing
commitment to safeguard the privacy and integrity of mobile
technology. Our solutions provide a proactive defense-in-depth
crypto-resilient approach against future network security
challenges, ensuring that Turkcell’s network remains secure for
years to come.”
This successful demonstration highlights Nokia’s leadership in
network security, particularly within the mobile telecom industry.
The implementation of quantum-safe cryptography positions Nokia at
the forefront of addressing the growing need for secure, and
trusted network infrastructures. The deployment also aligns with
our ongoing efforts to mitigate risks arising from new technologies
like quantum computing.
