What distinguishes quantum-safe from quantum-secure?

Quantum-safe solutions are resistant to known attacks from both classical and quantum computers based on current mathematical understanding, while quantum-secure solutions utilize methods, like one-time pad (OTP) encryption with true random numbers from quantum sources, designed to be unbreakable even with future quantum advancements.

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.

What is BLAST?

This is the peer-reviewed and patented technology that is the basis of Qrypt’s key generation and secure transfer products. It enables the generation of identical symmetric keys at multiple endpoints, without ever needing to distribute that key over the wire. This means that it cannot be intercepted.

What is NIST?

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) sets cybersecurity standards for the United States and Canada.

What is Post Quantum Cryptography?

Cryptography that is implemented using algorithms that are thought safe from future quantum attack. Today’s asymmetric algorithms underpinning most internet transactions are at risk and need to be replaced with PQC algorithms, however while they are better than what is in place not even these PQC algorithms are proven secure.

What is Quantum Entropy?

Entropy is a measure of randomness in a system, and quantum entropy is randomness based on quantum sources. Qrypt uses sensitive measurement electronics on different types of quantum sources to produce true random numbers.

What is Quantum Key Distribution?

This is a low bandwidth technique where a dedicated quantum link is provided between two points, and quantum mechanical effects are used to ensure that information transfer is secure and private.
