LGU+ Develops World's First Virtual Private Network Applying Quantum Encryption and Anti-Copy Technology

Information Copying and Theft Impossible Even with Quantum Computers
Commercialization Scheduled for Next Year, Government Service Development Planned

LG Uplus employees are connecting intelligent CCTV cameras to test whether the video is transmitted safely.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] LG Uplus announced on the 20th that it has jointly developed the world's first 'PQC PUF VPN' technology with IoT security specialist ICTK Holdings, which makes information replication and theft impossible even with quantum computers. The company explained that by simultaneously applying post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and physical unclonable function (PUF) technology, the security of CCTV systems has been significantly enhanced.

PQC PUF VPN is a virtual private network (VPN) that connects CCTV and servers, applying both physical unclonable function (PUF) technology and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in a dual-layered manner.

In particular, PQC PUF VPN is created using a hybrid method that applies both existing encryption algorithms and PQC algorithms simultaneously. This dual security system allows defense against external access through the other algorithm even if one is compromised, greatly improving security.

Recently, the use of CCTV has been continuously expanding in areas such as social safety, traffic management, parking, logistics, distribution, and healthcare. The two companies confirmed that concerns about security are increasing alongside the growing demand for CCTV, which led to the development of PQC PUF VPN.

LG Uplus plans to commercialize PQC PUF VPN in the first half of next year and sell ‘Intelligent CCTV’ equipped with this technology to small business owners. Additionally, they plan to develop services incorporating PQC PUF VPN for use by government and public institutions.
