Pilot 1
Secure Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography in Financial Environments
Why?
The financial sector, and banking companies in particular, are heavy users of telecommunications services and cryptography, as most of the world’s financial assets are managed, stored, or traded via banks.
Data and global efforts against money laundering and other criminal activities make the migration to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems a paramount priority.
Pilot 2
Quantum-secure orchestration on a Telco Network
Why?
Networks are becoming increasingly complex, with multi-domain architectures, programmable technologies (SDN/NFV), and AI-driven automation enabling richer, continuous interactions between network elements and more active management and control.
How?
The pilot demonstrator will be deployed on a real metropolitan network testbed, applying quantum-secure key distribution, PQC solutions and hybridisation approaches, covering some realistic Telco network scenarios.
The pilot will use an orchestration process to activate specific policies for PQ transition based on the network planes (management, control, data) and service demand (e.g., cloud, transport), leveraging existing control and orchestration mechanisms.

Pilot 3
Application of Quantum Resistant Crypto to Critical Infrastructure Deployments
Why?
By utilising a digital twin of Motor Oil’s critical infrastructure network, the project will test, evaluate, and optimise the application of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) methods within its framework.
How?
The focus will be on implementing PQC over StrongSwan (an IPsec-based VPN solution) using the liboqs library for various application protocols.
By utilising such a setup, several changes to network parameters will be implemented, without jeopardising the Production environment of the selected critical infrastructure. Additionally, the evaluation will include energy efficiency metrics to ensure the solution is both secure and sustainable.
Pilot 4
Quantum-Safe Digital Documents and Identity for Municipality Services of Egaleo using Quantum Safe Blockchain and EBSI Integration
Why?
Municipal services, especially those that manage digital identity and document authentication, are increasingly digitised to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accessibility. However, these services are vulnerable to emerging quantum threats that can break classical cryptographic systems, risking document integrity and user identities.
How?
This pilot will provide a framework to safeguard these services through post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and blockchain solutions. The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) is a key player in the secure management of cross-border services in Europe.
By integrating quantum-resistant algorithms with EBSI s architecture, Dimos Egaleo will become a model for secure digital governance at the municipal level, demonstrating quantum-safe solutions that can be scaled to broader public services. The pilot aims to secure digital documents and identity services for the Municipality of Egaleo by integrating quantum resistant cryptography and blockchain technologies, in line with the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI).
Leveraging a quantum-safe blockchain, the pilot will ensure that critical documents, such as permits, certificates, and identity verification documents, remain secure in the face of evolving quantum threats.
