Quantum-proof
crypto receives
approval from
Dutch security
authority
Teleste to deliver video
security solution for improved
motorway safety in France
T
he Dutch national security authority,
NLNCSA, has approved cybersecurity
company Sectra’s latest version of the
eavesdrop-proof mobile phone, Sectra
Tiger/S, for use up to and including the
Geheim (SECRET) security level. In its
evaluation of the product, the authority
also determined that the new Sectra Tiger/S
protects against so-called quantum attacks.
One of the major threats to future-proof
confidentiality is the new type of advanced
supercomputers, known as quantum
computers, that can perform certain types
of calculations much more efficiently than
today’s computers. Such computers could
pose a threat to current encryption methods.
Given the time horizon for highly sensitive
information and national secrets, security
solutions that are developed today must
offer protection against quantum threats.
“Our customers will need quantum-safe
technology and we are at the forefront in
this new field. According to the NLNCSA,
very few products offer any form of
protection against such attacks despite
the evident threat posed by quantum
computers,” said Simo Pykälistö, President
of Sectra Communications.

A
PRR (Autoroutes Paris Rhin Rhône)
Group has selected Teleste’s S-VMX
Video Management System for upgrading
its motorway safety and surveillance
infrastructure. The system will be
implemented by a consortium composed
of Teleste and ENGIE Ineo, a part of
leading worldwide energy provider, ENGIE.
APRR, a subsidiary of Eiffage, manages
motorways and toll structures under
concessions awarded by the French
State. Under the terms of its concession
agreements, the group also invests
heavily in its 2,323 km network in order
to improve travel conditions and satisfy
customers’ new mobility requirements.
Teleste’s S-VMX system will be in charge of
monitoring and securing the East & South
of France Motorways network, including
the motorway routes as well as car parks
and rest areas. The project is expected
to be delivered during 2019 and 2020,
and the contract scope includes a 10-year
maintenance agreement.
Security and operations control systems
are becoming increasingly complex
as they are expected to process large
amounts of information in real time.
Teleste’s S-VMX video surveillance and
S-AWARE situational awareness platforms
enable the building of security systems
that will evolve alongside the changing
needs of public authorities. In addition
to the powerful video core, the systems
can control large amounts of information
from multiple sources within the
operating environment to ensure that the
right information is available to the right
people, when and where needed, and
that the correct action is taken promptly
whenever unexpected situations occur.
