We are proud of our colleagues and partners at AROBS Polska for their vital work in securing the future of satellite communications. ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications selected AROBS Polska to lead the PQC ASTrAL project. This project aims to develop post-quantum cryptographic systems to protect satellites from emerging cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computing. Their work includes designing the hardware and firmware to host the cryptographic core, ensuring secure authentication, encryption, and key management in space. This project is a great opportunity to demonstrate and further strengthen our R&D performance, benefiting the entire AROBS Group.

We are proud to announce that AROBS Polska, part of AROBS Group, has been chosen by the ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications - the European Space Agency - ESA to lead the PQC ASTrAL project. This initiative addresses one of the most critical challenges in satellite cybersecurity—protecting communications against future threats posed by quantum computing. PQC ASTrAL aims to implement a cryptographic system resistant to quantum attacks, allowing satellites to perform authentication, digital signatures, and encryption in a secure and sustainable manner. AROBS Polska will develop the hardware and firmware as the prime contractor, while ResQuant will contribute cryptographic expertise. This project is a great opportunity to demonstrate and further strengthen our R&D performance. "Securing satellite communications is a complex challenge, especially for long-duration devices with limited physical access. [...] With the rapid advancements in quantum computers, traditional cryptographic standards no longer provide long-term security guarantees. By integrating post-quantum algorithms and implementing security mechanisms in hardware, PQC ASTrAL significantly reduces these risks by separating cryptographic processing from core systems and minimizing vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. This approach ensures a high level of security for satellite communications, anticipating the industry needs for the years to come," said Michal Szwajewski, PMP, IWE, CEO of AROBS Polska.
