Why do I need Post Quantum Cryptography now?

Data is already at risk. In many environments, it will take up to a decade to migrate to post quantum cryptography. At an absolute minimum, data must be secured with PQC prior to a quantum computer being able to decrypt it. Any data using today’s encryption that is stolen prior to the migration could be decrypted once the quantum computer is available.

How does Qrypt’s Quantum Key Generation technology ensure long-term data security?

Qrypt’s Quantum Key Generation technology provides long-term data security by sharing a recipe, instead of transmitting encryption keys, enabling parties to independently create the same key, thereby mitigating the risk of key interception and future decryption.

What is an asymmetric algorithm?

Q: What is an asymmetric algorithm?

This is a type of encryption or signing algorithm, where the encryption and decryption steps use different keys – often the recipient will have a private key to decrypt and a public key for others to encrypt it for them.

Asymmetric algorithms are foundational in modern cryptography, employing a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption or signing. This structure enables secure communications and digital signing, as only the recipient with the corresponding private key can decrypt messages encrypted with their public key. Furthermore, the public-private key pair ensures authenticity and non-repudiation, as others can verify the source using the public key, making asymmetric cryptography a crucial asset in digital security.
