The document summarizes ADVA launching the first commercial optical transport solution with built-in post-quantum cryptographic security. Specifically: 1) ADVA has released the FSP 3000 with a hybrid key exchange approach combining quantum-safe and classical cryptography to protect against quantum computer attacks. 2) This built-in solution provides quantum-safe encryption through post-quantum cryptography algorithms like McEliece and is designed to comply with emerging standards. 3) ADVA's solution is the industry's first to offer fully encrypted optical transport services secured by post-quantum cryptography, protecting data for decades to come.

Quantum-safe cryptography options
• New cryptographic algorithms, e.g., McEliece
or Frodo, are thought to be secure against
cyberattacks by quantum computers
• The security of the encryption relies on the
computational difficulty
• Works over any network and distance

Summary
• ADVA releases market’s first commercial post-quantum encrypted optical
transport solution in its FSP 3000
• ADVA has proven experience and a long history of success with quantum-safe
cryptography (both PQC and QKD), building on many successful demos and
trials as well as close engagement with customers and national security
agencies
• Built for crypto-agility, the FSP 3000 solution complies with the strictest pre-
standard regulations available at this moment, and can be upgraded later to
comply with NIST’s emerging PQC specifications
