The trial validated Ciena's WaveLogic 6 Extreme optical encryption platform alongside Toshiba's Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) servers, demonstrating a hybrid approach that combines NIST-certified post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms with QKD. The solution addresses 'harvest now, decrypt later' attack threats and offers a migration path to quantum-safe networking without requiring full infrastructure replacement. Existing WL5e 800G deployments can gain PQC support via a software upgrade. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
