Jurand project results by WUST

Research results carried out by Wrocław University of Science and Technology as a part of the project "JURAND - National Quantum Random Number Generator" (POIR.01.01.01-00-0173 / 15)

Research in its subject is closely related to the definition of an R&D project entitled "JURAND - National Quantum Random Number Generator" with contract number POIR.01.01.01-00-0173/15 (based on previous research cooperation between CompSecur sp. z o.o. and Wrocław University of Science and Technology, including sharing rights to the results of the previous research defining the concept of the project) and in its topical area it constitutes R&D in the field of security in accordance with the assumptions and research objectives of the project, specifying in detail the subject of commissioned research work related to the key components of quantum cryptography in the form of quantum randomness generation, i.e. systems that play an important role for strategic national security, the purpose of which is to ensure the IT-theoretical level of communication security.

The aim of the project, the definition of which includes the research tasks commissioned to the Wrocław University of Science and Technology, which correspond with the full concept of the project in a manner necessary for its implementation, is to develop new solutions of importance for security in the area of cryptography and secure communication in a form critical to ensuring the IT-theoretical level of communication security in quantum cryptography, components of quantum randomness generation as part of the research program for the commercialization of the Polish national quantum cryptography systems in cooperation between CompSecur sp. z o. o. and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
