Our Founder

“The right to privacy must also exist in the cloud.”
– Werner Strasser, CEO fragmentiX Storage Solutions GmbH

Visionary. Builder. Privacy advocate.

Werner Strasser is the driving force behind fragmentiX. With a background in precision engineering and decades of experience in IT security, he’s worked with Austria’s top ministries and EU institutions to protect sensitive data and digital infrastructure.

In 2018, he founded fragmentiX with one mission:

To make true privacy and digital sovereignty accessible to everyone.

From secure video conferencing to quantum-safe storage, Werner has always been one step ahead — building technologies that protect your data today and in the future.

Innovation in Action: Our Latest Projects

At fragmentiX, we’re pushing the boundaries of cybersecurity with our cutting-edge, quantum-safe storage solutions. Our innovative approach combines secret sharing technology with decentralized data storage, ensuring unparalleled security for sensitive information. We’re proud to be involved in several high-profile projects, including CVSTAR, QUARTER, SAGA, and QCI-CAT, which aim to develop and demonstrate the power of quantum-resistant data storage.

 CVSTAR

In the applied research project CVSTAR, that is coordinated by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), we have researched and implemented two proof-of-concepts for fragmentiX products:

1. distributed cryptographic storage self-healing against malicious attackers and
2. quantum-safe link encryption using keys retrieved through an ETSI GS QKD 014 compliant interface from QKD systems without the need for external linkencryptors.

These two features will be tested in network demonstrations at the DTU and the Danish network operator TDC NET in May and June 2025. QuantERA CVSTAR has received funding from FFG.

QUARTER

In the project QUARTER, that is coordinated by the Spanish QKD manufacturer LuxQuanta, we are redesigning and developing the next generation of our leading product, the fragmentiX CLUSTER NODE. It features a quantum random number generator as physical entropy source, and the cryptographic storage self-healing and quantum-safe link encryption studied in CVSTAR. It will be demonstrated in a use-case at Telefónica during 2025.

SAGA

In SAGA (Security And cryptoGrAphic mission of the European Space Agency) which forms an important part of EuroQCI fragmentiX is involved in proofing the security of the space QKD system.

SAGA 2 has received a funding from EU.

QCI-CAT

fragmentiX is involved in two usecases within the project QCI-CAT, the Austrian contribution to EuroQCI with the goal to develop a Europe wide quantum communication infrastructure.

Government use case

In the governmental usecase, four Austrian ministries are equipped with fragmentiX CLUSTERs, S3 storage servers and QKD devices in order to implement a federated storage and data exchange/distribution solution.

QCI-CAT has received funding from the EU and the FFG.

Medical use case

In the medical use case, the quantum safe blueprint for a distributed data repository for highly sensitive medical data is created, using fragmentiX secret sharing technology. To overcome the distance limitation of QKD devices, fragmentiX developed Trusted Repeater Node (TRN) prototypes which are already deployed to relay the QKD link between Graz and Vienna which represents a fibre lentgh of 220 km.

fragmentiX Trusted Repeater Nodes (TRN)

The development and production of fragmentiX TRNs has been carried out voluntarily at the EU SECRET security level from the outset, which means that restrictions apply to the communication and distribution of these devices and systems.
