Together with the University of Vienna Institute for Experimental Physics (Prof. Zeilinger) the business unit Quantum Technologies of the AIT has developed several generations of QKD systems.
The developments were carried out in the framework of several funded projects including the European Integrated Project SECOQC of the 6th framework programme (2004-2008), at the end of which the application of cryptographic keys distributed under realistic assumptions by a QKD network was demonstrated.

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) produces standards for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and Internet technologies. ETSI is officially recognized by the European Union as a European Standards Organisation. ETSI is a not-for-profit organisation with more than 700 ETSI member organisations drawn from 62 countries across 5 continents worldwide.
Based on the outcome of the EC FP6-project SECOQC (Secure Communication based on Quantum Cryptography), an Industry Specification Group (ISG) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) brought together the important European actors from science, industry to address standardisation issues in quantum cryptography, and quantum technology in general.
