KETS Quantum Security

KETS Quantum Security, founded in 2016 and based in Bristol, UK, develops chip-based quantum security solutions designed to protect against emerging threats like quantum computing and AI. The company focuses on two core technologies: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG). QKD enables the secure distribution of cryptographic keys using the principles of quantum mechanics, while QRNG generates truly unpredictable random numbers for enhanced security applications.

KETS offers both full-system and sub-system products, targeting sectors including defense, finance, critical infrastructure, and telecommunications. Specific use cases highlighted include hardening satellite communications, securing naval networks, upgrading telecommunication networks, and enhancing encryption algorithms. The company recently secured a £1.7m contract funded by Innovate UK to accelerate development of its next-generation QKD solution and has partnered with CryptoNext Security to build comprehensive quantum-safe solutions.

KETS positions itself as a provider of scalable, compact, and energy-efficient quantum security, addressing a growing need for proactive measures against future quantum computing capabilities. Through thought leadership and active development, KETS aims to remove key barriers to the adoption of quantum encryption technologies and prepare organizations for a “quantum-safe” future.
