The cybersecurity solutions provider Lastwall has launched its first quantum encryption resilient product, Quantum Shield. This product utilizes Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms of the draft standard issued by NIST and integrates it into the Transport Layer Security (TLS) layer, thus significantly enhancing security. In addition, it also features encryption agility, allowing for rapid updates with minimal configuration changes to adapt to the algorithms that NIST will officially standardize.

Cavero Quantum, a passwordless cryptography technology company spun off from the University of Leeds, has secured £2.2 million in funding from Foresight and Northern Gritstone. This funding will be used to commercialize its technology and launch its first product. The company claims that this will be the world's first solution to replace security standards such as ECDH without affecting the architecture and customer experience. It can protect communications from attacks by classical and future quantum computers and can be deployed on any device.

Crypto Quantique, a provider of quantum-driven security for IoT, recently announced that it has established partnerships with ZARIOT, a cellular IoT connectivity provider, and Kigen, an eSIM solution vendor. This international partnership will implement an IoT-SAFE technology that leverages the Hardware Root-of-Trust of any SIM and enables native access to quantum-safe technologies.

Arqit Quantum Inc. , a leader in quantum-safe encryption, announces the full commercial launch of a new feature of its Symmetric Key Agreement Platform, the “Encryption Intelligence” service. Encryption Intelligence assists organizations in identifying network risks and developing mitigation plans to enhance their security posture against current and evolving cybersecurity threats. Arqit secured its first paid contract for this feature with an international telecoms network operator.

IDEMIA Secure Transactions has demonstrated to central banks and financial institutions the first offline central bank digital currency (CBDC) payment capability. This method provides citizens with an ultra-secure, quantum-computer-resistant offline CBDC payment method that allows for digital currency transactions even without internet connectivity. It is understood that this offline CBDC payment feature utilizes post-quantum cryptography technology that NIST is in the process of standardizing.

Vibrint, a leading innovator in federal technology solutions, today announced it has teamed with quantum technology pioneer QED to codevelop a range of solutions that will allow federal government agencies to ensure quantum safety in critical infrastructure, defense and intelligence.
