Scytale Alpha, a burgeoning deep-tech Quantum Security Company hailing from New Delhi and incubated by the Data Security Council of India (DSCI), has introduced India’s inaugural Quantum Secure Communication Platform. This milestone is a significant leap towards shaping India’s technological landscape for the next 25 years.
The Quantum Secure Communication Platform developed by Scytale Alpha is nothing short of revolutionary. It incorporates cutting-edge messenger and video conferencing technology, boasting a level of technological and physical security that sets it apart from the competition. This platform is firmly rooted in the concept of future-proof security, ensuring that privacy, security, and data ownership are paramount. It is India’s first Quantum Secure Communication Platform aligns seamlessly with the vision of India’s Prime Minister, focusing on the development of indigenous technologies characterized by their uniqueness. Scytale Alpha plays a crucial role in advancing communication security in India, an integral component of the nation’s technology landscape, and ensuring that the communication networks meet India’s distinctive requirements.
At the heart of the Quantum Secure Communication Platform lies a robust security infrastructure. It provides an on-premises solution, ensuring that user data remains within a secure environment, guaranteeing absolute ownership, security, and privacy. What sets it apart is its utilization of advanced post-quantum cryptographic key exchange and a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG). This enables the platform to facilitate secure mutual handshakes between clients, rendering predictions and hacking virtually impossible.
Wing Commander Satyam Kushwaha (retd), the Director of Scytale Alpha, underlines the significance of securing India’s communication backbone in today’s geopolitically uncertain world. According to him this security is crucial for governance, strategic operations, law enforcement, and diplomatic exchanges, as it ensures absolute control and safeguards India’s sovereignty. Existing platforms often have vulnerabilities due to servers located outside India’s jurisdiction, and Scytale Alpha’s solution effectively addresses this concern, protecting both formal and informal communications.
Furthermore, with the launch of the national quantum mission by the government, India is presented with an opportunity to make significant strides in quantum computing and related technologies. This mission holds tremendous potential for various domains such as healthcare, sustainability, clean energy, climate change, employment, and more, impacting the lives of every Indian citizen.
