Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N), under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with QNu Labs to collaborate on quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions. The partnership aims to strengthen India’s preparedness against emerging cybersecurity risks posed by advancements in quantum computing.

The MoU was signed in the presence of Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry and Electronics & Information Technology Shri Jitin Prasada, MeitY Secretary Shri S. Krishnan, and senior officials from the ministry, along with leadership teams from both organisations.

Under the collaboration, BISAG-N’s indigenous cryptographic software, including Vedic Kavach, will be integrated with QNu Labs’ quantum hardware and secure infrastructure platforms. BISAG-N has already undertaken early government-led implementations covering quantum-resilient web servers and an indigenous secure web browser integrated with Quantum Random Number Generation technology.

The agreement establishes a structured framework for technology transfer, integration and deployment of hardware-backed, quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions across government systems, defence networks, critical infrastructure and public sector platforms, in line with applicable policies.

The collaboration aligns with the objectives of the National Quantum Mission, Digital India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, reinforcing India’s long-term vision of building secure and future-ready digital infrastructure.
