Quantum-Safe Network Encryption

Thales High Speed Encryptors

Quantum-safe migration is becoming an important consideration for organizations protecting sensitive, long-lived data in motion. This solution brief explains how Thales High Speed Encryptors help protect critical network links while supporting a controlled transition toward quantum-resistant security. It covers post-quantum cryptography (PQC), crypto-agility, Transport Independent Mode (TIM), and high-assurance network encryption.

The brief is designed for security leaders, network and security architects, and organizations planning quantum-safe migration across data centers, cloud connectivity, AI infrastructure, backup networks, operational environments, and critical sites. It explains how organizations can prioritize high-value links, maintain performance and operational control, and adapt cryptographic capabilities as standards and requirements evolve.

What you will learn:

• Why long-lived data in motion creates a quantum-era security concern
• How NIST-standardized PQC supports quantum-resistant key establishment and signatures
• How crypto-agility helps organizations adapt cryptographic capabilities over time
• How Transport Independent Mode can reduce exposure to on-wire public-key exchange
• Where to prioritize quantum-safe protection across critical network links
