SecuWeb

SecuWeb is an Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen project that brings together academic and industrial partners to design a more secure, trustworthy, and interoperable internet for the future. As the volume and sensitivity of data exchanged online continue to grow, new approaches are urgently needed to ensure privacy, integrity, and resilience across digital systems. Within this broader effort, UCLouvain focuses on the quantum internet and its use to develop the next-generation of secure communication technologies.

The project brings together experts in several key emerging technologies, who will work together on combining these technologies to improve the secure use of data across communication systems and sectors of economy and society. At UCLouvain, our core focus lies in the development of secure communication protocols based on quantum technologies and the exploration of their interoperability with classical networks. We design and test robust architectures that bridge quantum and traditional networks, helping to pave the way for scalable, real-world deployment of the quantum internet.

Secuweb brings together universities, research centers, and innovation agencies across France, Wallonia, and Flanders—including UGent, Howest, Sirris, CITC, Eurasanté, UPHF, and UCLouvain. Together, we explore technologies such as Solid, Blockchain, Artifical intelligence, Internet of thing, quantum internet, and 5G, and investigate their use in key sectors like e-health, industry 4.0, mobility, and nutrition.
