Toshiba's Quantum Key Distribution (QKD): Reshaping Security Paradigms
Data is the backbone of modern society in India and across the world, powering industries, scientific research, and digital services. As data volumes grow and digital adoption accelerates, protecting sensitive information has become a strategic necessity, essential for maintaining privacy, trust, regulatory compliance, financial stability, and resilience against cyber threats.
Quantum computing represents a major technological leap, enabling systems to solve complex problems in minutes rather than the thousands of years required by classical supercomputers. While this capability promises breakthroughs in areas such as artificial intelligence and drug discovery, it also poses a serious security challenge: quantum computers are expected to break widely used public key encryption, placing sensitive information—including financial data, medical records, government communications, and private messages—at risk, and creating long-term exposure as data encrypted today could be decrypted in the future.
At Toshiba, we're committed to creating technology that protects the private information of citizens and companies. To address the emerging quantum threat, we have developed Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems designed to safeguard data even in the quantum era.
Toshiba's Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a quantum-secure method of data transmission that distributes ultra-secure encryption keys, making networks resilient against quantum threats. Developed over more than two decades, Toshiba's QKD technology can be deployed over existing fibre networks, offering a mature, world-leading solution for quantum-secure communications. Toshiba has delivered multiple world firsts in QKD development and global deployment and continues to lead advancements in quantum communication technologies.
By adopting quantum-secure communication, government bodies and critical sectors in India—including finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and data centres—can strengthen trust and prepare confidently for the quantum era. As India advances its digital transformation, Toshiba stands ready to partner in building a secure and resilient digital future.
Toshiba's GridDB® Cloud Database Service for Big Data and IoT
Companies around the world are focusing on digital transformation (DX) as a means to create new business opportunities. The foundation of DX promotion is data. Businesses that collect and analyze data can derive previously unnoticed insights and drive forward new business initiatives. GridDB® Cloud offers a cloud-based managed service as core data infrastructure for DX. Until now, the service has been available only in Japan, but Toshiba has responded to growing global DX promotion by bringing GridDB® Cloud into India.
GridDB® Cloud leverages the benefits of cloud services to offer users the following advantages:
- Reduced initial setup times and costs for servers, storage, and other components necessary for database operation.
- Minimization of effort and costs associated with database operations.
- Flexible resource expansion to handle increases in data and processing volumes.
- Easy integration with cloud-native applications.
Aligned with its philosophy "Committed to People, Committed to the Future.", Toshiba will continue to harness the power of data and maximize its potential to take on the challenge of achieving carbon neutrality and a circular economy for a new day.
