Title
Quantum Safe VoIP on Mobile Device for Operational Communications
Abstract
Our company offers an ultra-secure communications platform combining post-quantum encryption (PQE) and message layer security (MLS) protocols to safeguard Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) audio communication against current threats and future quantum attacks. This proposal presents an extension to our platform that would apply this encryption technology and protocols to real-time or near real-time audio communication over IP switched networks, facilitating quantum-safe, end-to-end encrypted voice messaging and party-line calling. This capability will give Airmen assuredness that they'll have quantum secure VoIP audio and video through personal devices while performing their mission. Protection from interception of digital communications by China and other near-peer adversaries regardless of device is paramount. This is a novel approach to securing audio communication in the name of national security. ???????
Research Objective
The goal of phase I is to establish the technical merit, feasibility, and commercial potential of proposed R&D efforts and determine the quality of performance of the small business awardee organization. STTRs are completed in conjunction with a research institution.
