Today’s the day! Cisco is showcasing a demo using Aliro Orchestrator, Cisco routing and zerothird QKD elements. Check out the demo today at 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT in L3, Palm D or find us at booth 8703 to talk with the Aliro team about what it takes to operationalize quantum networking.
Organizations need more than breakthrough hardware. They need software that helps make these environments operational. That’s what we’re excited to show you at Cisco Live!

One theme we keep hearing at Cisco Live:
Quantum networks only matter if they can be deployed, managed, and integrated in the real world.
Visit us at Booth 8703 to talk with the Aliro team and see a demo of Aliro's software tools for operationalizing quantum networks.

Infrastructure transitions don't happen often. When they do, they create entirely new categories of technology.
We're excited to welcome Fahri Diner as Executive Chairman of Aliro's Board of Directors.
Diner helped shape the evolution of optical networking as founder and CEO of Qtera, led one of the industry's most successful connectivity platforms with Plume, and spent years investing in the next generation of transformative technologies. His experience building, scaling, and commercializing networking infrastructure comes at a pivotal moment for quantum networking.
At Aliro, we're focused on delivering the software foundation that enables real-world quantum networking deployments, from Quantum Secure Communications to networking quantum computers and sensors.
We're thrilled to have Fahri join us as we continue building the software foundation for the quantum internet.

We’re excited to be at Cisco Live!
As more organizations look toward quantum security and infrastructure, one thing is becoming clear: the future of secure networking will depend on solutions that are scalable and operationally practical.
That’s the conversation we’re looking forward to having at this year’s event. Check out our Simulation Wizard: https://t.co/9BiiWbNAXB
and then stop by booth 8703 to see a quantum secure networking demo IRL.

In this on-demand webinar, Michael Cubeddu, Co-Founder and CTO at Aliro, shares what organizations need to know about Q-Day, the risks it poses, and the actions that can be taken now to prepare. In this webinar, you’ll learn:
• what Q-Day is and why it matters for critical infrastructure and major industry sectors
• the most likely path to Q-Day, how quantum computers will break current cryptography, and what estimated timelines look like
• which encryption schemes would be rendered ineffective by a cryptographically relevant quantum computer and why
• how quantum networking enables scalable, multi-vendor Quantum Secure Communication channels and why it offers a sustainable path forward

In a quantum network, routing decisions must account for far more than network state alone. Engineers also need to consider requested entanglement fidelity, the probabilistic nature of swapping operations, and the short coherence times of entangled states. That makes entanglement routing one of the most important challenges in building efficient and reliable quantum networks.
In this on-demand webinar, Michael Cubeddu, Co-Founder and CTO at Aliro, walks through the complexities of entanglement routing and what it means for near-term quantum network design.

Our latest blog post explores why GPS can estimate position but cannot verify it, and why that distinction matters for critical infrastructure and secure communications.
Quantum Position Verification (QPV) is a physics-based approach to proving that an endpoint is actually where it claims to be. By using quantum information that cannot be copied and relayed like classical data, QPV opens the door to a new form of location authentication.

Quantum computing will challenge the cryptographic foundations that secure today’s networks, including key parts of IPsec.
For engineers responsible for protecting data in transit, the question is no longer whether quantum-safe networking matters, but how to begin implementing it in practice.
In this on-demand webinar, Bruno Rijsman, Aliro Fellow, walks through the real-world steps for deploying quantum-safe IPsec. This session is designed for engineers who want practical, actionable guidance they can apply directly in their environments.

Governments and organizations around the world are investing in quantum networking technologies to help secure critical communications, strengthen resilience, and maintain a competitive edge.
Developing a clear quantum strategy is becoming increasingly important; not only for national security and technological leadership, but also for practical planning around research, partnerships, standards, regulations, and integration with existing infrastructure.
This white paper explores how organizations in the US are approaching these challenges and opportunities, including emerging integrated use cases such as free-space quantum secure communications. Proactive engagement today will help determine who is ready to capitalize on the potential of quantum networking tomorrow.

Quantum Secret Sharing (QSS) combines two things security teams want but rarely get together: resilience against compromise and visibility into tampering.This article explains how secret sharing works, why it has long been used for high-assurance security, and how quantum technologies are taking the concept further with quantum-enhanced secret sharing, and true quantum secret sharing. We also share a practical case for how organizations can begin applying quantum-secure methods today without waiting for fully quantum infrastructure everywhere.

As quantum computing advances, organizations need to start preparing for a world where legacy encryption alone may no longer be enough.
That’s why Hybrid Classical-Quantum Key Exchange is getting so much attention. By combining classical cryptographic methods with quantum security techniques, this techniqu offers a practical path toward stronger protection for data in transit, while maintaining interoperability with today’s networks and flexibility for the future.
