Post-Quantum Cryptography

Inspiration

Quantum computing is crossing from the theoretical to practical boundary quickly and we must design secure systems to withstand the new types of quantum attacks again cryptographic systems we all depend on ranging from banking to communication to home automation and everything in between.

What it does

Project Quantum Leap provides a framework for securing post-quantum systems against quantum cryptographic attacks.

How we built it

By understanding physics, computer science, mathematics, cryptography, materials science, and a lot of trial and error.

Challenges we ran into

Quantum entanglement is challenging as you add more Qubits because of decoherence. Thankfully, we’ve developed a method of isolating the state of quantum operations to allow superposition to unfold.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’ve created a POC that describes in detail the six pillars of quantum security and how they can be implemented in a practical manner, namely asymmetric encryption, symmetric encryption, integrity, key management, authentication, and authorization.

What we learned

That quantum computing has the ability to fundamentally change society forever but it must be secured and cultivated

What's next for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Real-world implementation of quantum cryptography into devices, products, and services that we all rely on (computers, phones, networks, banking, space exploration, online voting, clean energy, and transcendence to enlightenment)
