ST. GALLEN, SWITZERLAND, August 14, 2024 -- Terra Quantum, a leader in quantum technology solutions, is proud to announce that its post-quantum cryptography library, TQ42 Cryptography, fully aligns with the NIST PQC standards officially published yesterday. TQ42 Cryptography is the most comprehensive, NIST-aligned open-source PQC library available.

Quantum computing poses an imminent threat to traditional encryption, and NIST’s standards usher in a new era of data protection as organizations migrate from classical to post-quantum cryptography. NIST's standards should motivate organizations to take quantum threats seriously, which are crucial to quantum-resistant security. By standardizing PQC algorithms, NIST provides a roadmap for organizations worldwide to transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems.

TQ42 Cryptography provides a practical and comprehensive suite of PQC algorithms, which include the security features necessary to meet the NIST PQC standards, such as secure key exchange and robust digital signatures. This ensures it meets today's standards and is also prepared for tomorrow.

Terra Quantum is committed to creating innovative solutions that comply with rigorous standards and that businesses can confidently implement now. TQ42 Cryptography can be applied by businesses, large or small, and scales to meet customer needs.

Markus Pflitsch, Founder and CEO of Terra Quantum, said: “As organizations begin to plan for the post-quantum future, adopting appropriate cryptography solutions is crucial for maintaining the security of valuable information. TQ42 Cryptography provides an accessible entry point to integrate quantum-resistant security measures into their applications, ensuring the long-term protection of sensitive data.”

Dr. Florian Neukart, Chief Product Officer at Terra Quantum, said: “Adding ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA to our open-source library shows our ongoing commitment to democratizing access to post-quantum cryptography. By empowering developers and organizations worldwide with cutting-edge tools, we’re ensuring that the future of data protection is built on a foundation of openness, collaboration, and shared innovation.”
