Russia's Roselectronics to Develop Secure Communications Without the Need for Encryption

Roselectronics Holding, a subsidiary of Russia’s state-owned Rostec is trying to expand the scope of ferrite materials, including finding a solution to create secure communication systems without the need for encryption.

The project is being undertaken by Roselectronics Holding in collaboration with the Institute of Electrophysics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In particular, to create new classes of radio-electronic and telecommunication equipment with a high level of reliability and protection from external influences.

The corresponding agreement was signed by Maxim Kavaev, Director General of Ferrit-Domen Research Institute of Ruselectronics Holding, and Stanislav Tchaikovsky, Director of the Institute of Electrophysics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 

Cooperation provides for research work and the creation of a prototype of an installation of ultrashort voltage pulses with ferrite elements. The solution will explore the possibility of creating secure communication systems without the need for encryption due to guaranteed physical protection against unauthorized direction finding and interception, as well as to provide highly reliable radio communications. In addition, the facility can be used for medical research in radiology and in microwave generators to measure the electrodynamic and crystallographic characteristics of objects, Rostec said in a release.

“Direct interaction between fundamental science and the real sector of the economy is fundamentally necessary for the creation of new breakthrough technologies. Therefore, we are looking forward to a long-term and fruitful cooperation with our new partner, Ferrit-Domen Scientific Research Institute. From a practical point of view, systems using ferrites are simple to implement, while they are able to provide stability and a high pulse repetition rate, which makes it possible to increase the service life of the equipment,” said Stanislav Chaikovsky, Director of the Institute of Electrophysics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 

In accordance with the agreement, the Research Institute "Ferrite-Domen" became an industrial partner of the Institute of Electrophysics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 

“The result of our cooperation will be the creation of fundamentally new classes of equipment for radar, radio communications, crystallographic analysis, and scientific research. In the current economic conditions, our joint work with the Institute of Electrophysics is extremely relevant and aimed at increasing the scientific, technical, innovative and production potential of Russian science and production,” said Maxim Kavaev, Director General of the Ferrit-Domen Research Institute. 

Research Institute "Ferrite-Domen" is a leading enterprise in the development and production of microwave materials, ferrite microwave devices for space and research in the field of high energy physics, as well as communication, radar and wireless telecommunication systems.
