Today we live in a digital world where more and more data are being transmitted online. This means more attackers have more opportunities to steal the data. What use is having strong end-point protection when the very information superhighway is prone to breaches? And this is not taking into consideration the looming threat of quantum computers. With unlimited processing power on tap, quantum computers can render the current standards of encryption inadequate.

Our solution
01
Quantum Key
Distribution (QKD)
Quantum Key Distribution uses quantum physics to secure the distribution of symmetric encryption keys. It works by sending photons, quantum particles of light, across an optical link. The Principles of Quantum Mechanics stipulate that any observation causes perturbation. So any interference or intrusion is detected and reported. This gives unqualified security against all current and future challenges.

Quantum Random
Number Generator (QRNG)
Random numbers are required in many applications — from banking to gaming. In order to guarantee absolutely random numbers, RNGs must not be vulnerable to prediction or bias. Quantum physics is fundamentally random. Quantum Random Number Generators use these quantum-random properties to generate truly random numbers that don’t have any pattern and hence completely secure.

Proactively
Quantum
Current encryption offers enough protection against conventional computing powers. But with quantum computers on the horizon, they are simply not a match. It is estimated that current encryption that would have taken normal computers thousands of years to break would instead be broken by a quantum computer in a matter of minutes.
How do we protect data then?
We help innovators, disrupt existing security paradigms by accelerating their transition to deploy Quantum-safe encryptions. Let’s protect what we value most – data.
