SMARTY Use Case Owners Series: Meet Italtel
In our series on SMARTY use case owners, we spotlight Italtel and their innovative efforts to redefine secure peer-to-peer (P2P) communication for telco operators.
Through SMARTY, Italtel aims to address the critical need for security, scalability, and trust in edge computing platforms that handle sensitive telecommunications data without compromise in service requirements. By focusing on P2P communication within edge networks, the plan is to meet the growing demand for communication solutions that prioritize both efficiency and privacy in an increasingly connected world.
With the support of SMARTY technologies, Italtel is overcoming current challenges in edge computing, by introducing an application that enables telco operators to fulfill stringent SLAs, QoE and QoS requirements while ensuring robust security, privacy, and data management. The application leverages,
- Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) – Advanced cryptographic methods designed to protect sensitive communications against future quantum computing threats, ensuring long-term resilience by providing secure encryption and key exchange mechanisms.
- Confidential Computing (CC) – A technology that safeguards data during processing by using hardware-based security features to create trusted execution environments, ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information in multi-tenant edge environments.
for secure P2P audio and video communication within 5G/6G networks. This solution ensures sensitive communications are safeguarded against interception or decryption, delivering end-to-end encryption, secure key exchange, and reliable data transmission.
Italtel’s leadership in this SMARTY use case reflects a larger mission: empowering telco operators to navigate the challenges of security, privacy, and performance in the age of quantum computing and interconnected systems.
Stay tuned as we continue to showcase the transformative contributions of SMARTY use case owners across industries.
