Why is Qrypt's Quantum Key Generation (QKG) a pertinent solution now, and how does it complement NIST PQC in mitigating quantum threats?
Qrypt's QKG provides immediate mitigation against quantum threats by enabling independent generation and non-transmission of encryption keys, safeguarding against potential future decryption. It complements NIST PQC by providing an additional layer of security, especially against HNDL attacks, and ensuring data security during the transition to post- quantum cryptographic standards.
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.
