Abstract
The world is preparing for the looming threat posed by quantum computers. It’s thought that using advanced algorithms, cryptographically relevant quantum computers will have the power to break conventional cryptography. Meanwhile, in the short term, cybercriminals and threat actors from nationstates are leveraging the ever-advancing capability of AI and cloud-scale infrastructure to exploit security weaknesses in organizations worldwide.
There has never been a greater need to modernize our cryptographic systems.
To protect against these threats, true post-quantum security requires two interdependent foundations:
- Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to resist quantum attacks.
- Provable quantum randomness to ensure key material is unpredictable from the start
To address these threats, PQShield and Quantinuum have developed a joint solution, combining Quantum Origin’s mathematically-proven Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) with PQShield’s FIPS-140-3-validated post-quantum cryptographic library in PQCryptoLib-SDK, for resilient post-quantum
algorithms. This joint solution allows organizations to seamlessly enhance their existing cryptographic stacks with quantum resilience, without rewriting code or deploying specialized hardware.
