SEALSQ and WISeKey are enhancing their technologies to secure IoT and digital ecosystems. Their partnership focuses on integrating post-quantum cryptographic chips, blockchain solutions, and satellite connectivity. The two support the development of resilient, secure systems for global applications.
Telia has conducted Finland’s first test of quantum encryption technology within a commercial network, advancing national efforts to secure critical infrastructure. The test, part of the NaQCI.fi project, showcases the potential of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in safeguarding sensitive communications.
The Banque de France and the Monetary Authority of Singapore successfully tested quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms to bolster communication security against emerging cyber threats. Their collaboration focuses on enhancing encryption methods to safeguard sensitive financial communications.
Post-Quantum has been selected to join the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) Quantum Migration Project. This project will help transition from current public-key cryptographic algorithms to quantum-safe alternatives, addressing the urgent need to protect data from “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks. In these attacks, encrypted data is stolen now and decrypted later when quantum computers become available.
SEALSQ Corp, specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology, introduced its latest post-quantum semiconductor tech. The technology focuses on advanced cryptographic algorithms designed to resist potential threats from quantum computing and secure cryptocurrency transactions.
LTIMindtree, a global tech company, introduced a Quantum-Safe Virtual Private Network (VPN) at its London site, enhancing data protection against potential decryption threats. This VPN applies Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), utilizing quantum-based key generation and secure key delivery methods that align with NIST standards for data security.
A coalition of prominent cybersecurity organizations, including IBM Quantum, Microsoft, MITRE, PQShield, SandboxAQ, and the University of Waterloo, has formed the PQC Coalition to accelerate the global adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This initiative aims to protect sensitive information from the potential vulnerabilities posed by quantum computing.
QuickLogic Corporation and Xiphera have teamed up to enhance data security with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions. QuickLogic will incorporate Xiphera’s xQlave™ quantum-secure cryptographic IP cores into its eFPGA architecture. As quantum computers pose a growing threat to data security, this partnership aims to bolster encryption against future quantum attacks.
From seatbelts to GDPR, any time new standards are introduced, their adoption naturally comes with a certain amount of industry upheaval—and that’s exactly what we’re now seeing with post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
QuSecure announced that its industry-leading PQC solution QuProtect™ won the 2022 CyberSecured Award, as announced in December by 1105 Media’s Security Today brand, the leading industry media brand providing technology, education and solutions for security professionals.
