Qrypt

Qrypt is excited to participate in the FS-ISAC Fall 2024 Conference in Atlanta, where we will demonstrate our state-of-the-art quantum security solutions for AI workloads and critical financial data. As this industry faces increasingly complex security challenges in the quantum and AI era, our innovative quantum technologies provide enduring data protection and integrity. Visit us to explore how our strategic partnerships with industry leaders like NVIDIA enhance your security today. Take this opportunity to connect with our experts, Connie R., Greg Gilman, and Denis Mandich, who will be available to discuss how Qrypt can meet your security needs. We look forward to seeing you there! #quantum #encryption #cryptography #cybersecurity #FSISAC #Qrypt

Great first day at ONUG #AISummit. Looking forward to my colleague, CTO and Cofounder Denis Mandich to speak on Day Two. Excited to discuss our partnerships with NVIDIA and Fortanix as we build quantum secure encryption solutions for their products #AISummit #ONUG #PQC #QRNG #Qrypt #NVIDIA #Fortanix

Cybersecurity threats evolve with each advancement in technology. However, the advent of powerful AI and quantum computing is a considerable departure from the past. The initial wave of minimally constrained Gen-AI demonstrated the ability to rapidly produce tailored malware and code, previously a task for skilled hackers. Future iterations will further enhance the speed and sophistication of cyber-attacks, potentially enabling the creation of techniques that would have previously taken years to develop. In tandem, the increasing power of quantum computers will introduce formerly impossible methodologies, especially when combined with more advanced AI. This convergence will lead to unprecedented threats and more chaos in cybersecurity.

As quantum computers scale, so does the threat to global digital network security, which relies on public key infrastructure, key generation, and key management. Key generation must advance to combat the quantum threat, and Dr. Jaydeep Joshi, Qrypt's Quantum Physicist explains why: • Any weakness in encryption key generation is low hanging fruit for quantum computers to attack • Even with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) PQC algorithms implemented, key generation flaws can drastically reduce their expected security level and resilience towards future quantum threats • The current standardized methods to verify and validate whether an encryption key is truly random are insufficient with a flawed reliance on statistical tests as the *only* arbiters of entropy or unpredictability Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) are at the bleeding edge of encryption key generation technology. If designed correctly, they don’t have the same flaws as conventional key generators, as their entropy is directly tied to the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Qrypt is proud to kick off the much-needed conversation around standardizing QRNG technology, which will benefit the entire industry by: • Giving QRNG developers and vendors a set of standardized rules and requirements to build around • Encouraging certification bodies to release a new entropy source validation standard—one that doesn’t completely rely on statistical tests, but evaluates QRNGs from first-principles implementation Read the white paper here: https://lnkd.in/eTDA4FHB #quantum #cybersecurity #encryption #deeptech #cryptography #datasecurity

Quantum Readiness Day means transitioning to quantum technologies and security before Q-day or Y2Q. Larger quantum computers will be able to break virtually all modern digital security, which relies on classical algorithms known to be “quantum-broken.” However, did you know they’ve all been cracked for decades by a more insidious threat even without supercomputers?   The easiest way to do massive-scale bulk decryption by brute force is to exploit the way encryption keys are made from noise sources or pseudorandom ( = deterministic, nonrandom) mechanisms. This is obviously deliberate and the bread and butter of intelligence agency operations like CryptoAG, Reductor Malware, etc. Backdoors in standards bodies are far more toxic because they persist for decades and can be discovered anytime in the future by researchers – Tetra:Burst, Dual_EC_DRBG, etc.   Unfortunately, the most common is inadvertent flaws, bad engineering or a supply chain in a hostile country – [names of the victim companies withheld, but suffice it to say that many passed FIPs certification] Studies by Keyfactor and others have revealed catastrophic levels of failure at a rate of 1 in every 172 sharing prime factors in a sample of 75 million certificates – if the sources were even somewhat random, this statistically wouldn’t have happened twice during the current lifetime of the universe. Yes, it is that bad and almost always invisibly exploited, except when used to steal cryptocurrency, where everyone can see the transactions on the blockchain (Ethereum Bandit, Randstorm, Libbitcoin Explorer, etc.)   The only scientifically provable source of randomness is quantum phenomena, where the outcome is entirely unknowable until a measurement is made, even with total knowledge of the system. This differs radically from classical techniques like rolling dice or flipping a coin, where the outcome is always perfectly knowable with just a little information about the initial conditions. It's tantamount to security through obscurity.    Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory physicists developed quantum entropy sources for the US Government, which Qrypt commercialized for civilian use as QRNGs (pictured below). The laws of physics guarantee keys are unique and unpredictable — all hardware and software manufactured in the US. #quantum #cybersecurity #deeptech #cryptography #nationalsecurity

Last week we had the honor of hosting an executive fireside chat with Fortanix and Keyfactor to discuss one of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges enterprises face today: the need to transition to quantum-secure architecture to effectively secure AI systems, and the critical role quantum random number generators play. Denis Mandich, Richard Searle and Chris Hickman discussed the magnitude of the quantum threat, and how board members and C-level execs must fight the urge to underestimate the time and resources required to protect their interests indefinitely. #AI #cybersecurity #deeptech #cryptography #quantum #dataprivacy

It's been a busy week at the Quantum World Congress 2024, and it's not every day you meet the father of quantum cryptography, Charles Bennett, of BB84 fame. Physics rock stars are slightly different but still draw a crowd. Looking forward to our panel this afternoon with SemiQon’s CEO, Himadri Majumdar and Bill Shipman, CTO of POLARISqb. #quantum #cryptography #encryption #cybersecurity #QuantumWorldCongress #Qrypt

1 week to go until Quantum World Congress! Denis Mandich is speaking on 'The Commercialization Challenge' panel: 9/10 at 4:30PM. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. #QWC2024

Happy Labor Day from Qrypt! 🎆🎇

#DAFITC expands every year, and quantum was a strategic cybersecurity topic, following NIST's August announcement of PQC standards. AI and quantum computing will combine to unlock incredible capabilities that were previously impossible, but our adversaries will use them against us. The engagement and questions from our military cyber leadership and frontline warriors reassured me they are already preparing for this eventuality. “Q-day or Y2Q is not if, but when” was the mantra. The loss of any secure communication channels is a critical military concern in conflicts because the consequences are measured in lives. #quantum #encryption #cryptography #cybersecurity #nationalsecurity #airforce
