Post-Quantum Cryptography

Preparing for a post-quantum future

Getting post-quantum ready?

Quantum computing holds immense potential to solve some of the world’s greatest problems. But concurrently, it poses a threat: if misused, quantum computers could break through encryption methods that have long secured sensitive data. 

This is why post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is essential to protecting data of the past, present, and future. 

The development of PQC is already underway, and it is crucial for companies to be forward-thinking. If postponed until limits of current classical computing has been surpassed, current cryptographic systems could become obsolete almost instantaneously.

Quantum Computing and PQC

What is Quantum Computing, and why is Post-Quantum Cryptography necessary?

Modern-day Computing

The modern-day computer uses bits (binary digits) as the basic foundation of all computing. The bits are combined and processed to create everything from text, images, to software. While powerful, classical , linear systems can only process one state at a time, which has limitations.

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing uses “qubits,” which can exist in multiple states at once through the principles of superposition and entanglement. This means that compared to modern-day computing, quantum computers can solve problems exponentially faster.

PQC, Essential Safeguard

The threats of a post-quantum era are closer than they seem. Hackers are currently using Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) techniques, which store vast amounts of data to breach at a later point in time. Applying PQC algorithms now will prepare for this certain future.

How We Help

PQC-ready Offerings

Post-quantum cryptography utilizes algorithms designed to be secure against quantum computing. Unlike today’s widely-used cryptographic algorithms, PQC relies on lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, or multivariate polynomial-based algorithms that are more resistant to quantum attacks. 

Transitioning to a quantum-resistant cybersecurity framework  in the present is necessary before the supremacy stage. Many countries have already begun to require or standardize quantum-resistance.
