QuGenome Project - Highlights

-

 Quantum Communication Group concluded the QuGenome Project in the last few months. QuGenome is a project within the OpenQKD quantum experimental network. 

The project team members are Instituto de Telecomunicações de Aveiro and Lisbon; CBR Genomics and Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf GmbH. QuGenome was funded by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH and 37 other beneficiaries of OpenQKD.

Highlights of the project:
  • QuGenome project uses a multi-party computing service to provide secure analysis of genomic databases.



Demonstration of the physical system to present the final results of the project, on April 21, 2022, in the laboratory of the Institute of Telecommunications in Aveiro

About QuGenome Project:
QuGenome is a research project focused on secure multiparty computation service supported by quantum technologies to provide secure and fast multiparty private analyses of genome databases to construct Phylogenetic Trees. The consortium of this project is composed by Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), CBRA Genomics, S.A., and Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf GmbH.
This project focus on the implementation of a private recognition of composite signals in a genome use case over the Madrid OpenQKD network. The proposed secure multiparty computation service performs genome database analysis with unprecedented levels of security and represents a truly innovative approach in the field of healthcare research.

The event "QKD days in Madrid" brought together leading QKD experts, as well as European equipment suppliers and policymakers on 14 and 15 December 2022. Sponsored by the QuantaGENOMICS’ partner Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, in collaboration with the Austrian Institute of Technology, and Telefónica, Madrid, the event was an opportunity to join contributions from companies, universities, and researchers from 38 members of a European consortium of the Quantum Flagship to pave the way towards a pan-European infrastructure for secure quantum communication (QKD, Quantum Key Distribution, cryptographic networks). The first of the QKD Days 2022, entitled "On the Road, Large QKD Networks in Europe”, the EuroQCI initiative of the European Commission was presented. Other speakers included: Johanna Sepúlveda (Airbus Defence and Space) and Felix Wissel (Deutsche Telekom).  Under the title "QKD Industry Day", the second day had noteworthy presentations and highlighted...

Secure Communication Link  connecting two points, on a 14-kilometer route, in Lisbon. FCCN, IPTelecom and Warpcom, partners in the Portuguese Quantum Communications Infrastructure – PTQCI project, joined forces to implement a modern secure communications link, through a system that combines a quantum cryptographic technology with network and security solutions, connecting two points, on a 14-kilometer route, in Lisbon. A Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system was used to perform the activity, with the purpose of guaranteeing the security of the generation of cipher keys between two points. The exercise highlights the importance of the technology for data protection and encryption and for strengthening the communication infrastructure in Portugal. “This demonstration is not only evidence of technological progress but also a materialization of collaborative innovation. It demonstrates what can be developed when experts in the field come together to open new frontiers in data security ...
