en.Wedoany.com Reported - Symmatrics, a quantum-safe data protection platform, has announced the launch of its next-generation VPN product, QPN (Quantum Protected Network), designed to eliminate risks from credential-based cyberattacks and future quantum threats through one-time symmetric key encryption and trusted device authentication.
As organizations increasingly rely on distributed workforces and private cloud environments, traditional VPNs have become the most common entry point for attackers, often compromised through stolen credentials or exposed session keys. Meanwhile, attackers are actively capturing encrypted data in hopes of decrypting it in the future.
Symmatrics QPN adopts a fundamentally different model, replacing credential-based access with one-time symmetric key encryption and trusted device authentication. The product features low latency and high throughput, and can be simply and cost-effectively integrated and rapidly scaled to all internet traffic.
Unlike traditional VPNs that rely on conventional PKI key exchange and credential-based authentication, Symmatrics QPN uses ephemeral, one-time true symmetric keys to authenticate approved devices and encrypt network traffic. These keys are generated, used once, and then promptly discarded. This approach aims to eliminate risks associated with stolen or reused credentials, long-lived session keys, predictable cryptographic handshakes, and exposed authentication artifacts. By removing these common attack vectors, the platform reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access while protecting encrypted traffic from both current threats and future decryption attempts.
Walter Raquet, CEO of Symmatrics, stated that traditional VPNs are built on legacy PKI and credential-based models that are no longer secure, and QPN was constructed to completely eliminate these risks while protecting organizations from both current attacks and future quantum threats.
At the core of Symmatrics QPN is a symmetric key delivery model, powered by the Symmatrics encryption protocol. This architecture is inspired by 50 years of one-time pad encryption experience in the intelligence and defense communities, designed to reduce exposure during session initiation and prevent attackers from exploiting copied or stored encryption keys over time.
The product is aimed at organizations managing private cloud infrastructure and remote employees who need secure access to internal resources without exposing the network to credential-based attacks. The solution can be integrated into existing environments without requiring application changes or network re-architecture. Organizations can protect all TCP and UDP traffic through encrypted tunnels, automatically route communications without manual configuration, implement device-based access controls, and continuously rotate encryption keys at the session level. This enables IT teams to enhance security while meeting requirements of highly regulated industries such as financial services and government, without introducing operational complexity or degrading performance.
Symmatrics QPN is available as part of the company's broader security suite, which includes the Symmatrics encryption protocol SDK and the Authentication and Access Management (AuthAM) platform. Organizations can learn more or request a demo directly through Symmatrics.
Symmatrics is a cybersecurity company dedicated to redefining trust layers and encryption standards for the post-quantum era. Through its one-time pad symmetric key delivery architecture, the company develops security solutions aimed at eliminating reliance on traditional public key cryptography and strengthening protection of data in transit and at rest across cloud, enterprise, public sector, and distributed systems.
