NIST has chosen a new algorithm for post-quantum encryption called HQC, which will serve as a backup for ML-KEM, the main algorithm for general encryption.

A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with several research institutions in China and South Africa, has developed the world’s first quantum microsatellite and demonstrated real-time quantum key distribution (QKD) between the satellite and multiple compact, mobile ground stations.

Crypto4A Technologies, a pioneer in quantum-safe and crypto-agile security solutions, is excited to announce that its QASM hardware cryptographic core and v5.0 firmware —powering its QxHSM and QxEDGE products—has been added to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) Module In Process (MIP) list for FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.

With this cooperation, DLR is building a bridge between basic research and practical security assessment: QUANTITY is investigating the significance of quantum computers for cryptanalysis and is helping to identify new threat scenarios at an early stage and develop suitable protective measures to secure sensitive data and communication infrastructures.

Broadcom Inc. today announced an industry-first — the new, innovative Emulex Secure Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBA) — a cost-effective, easy-to-manage solution that encrypts all data as it moves between servers and storage.

Infineon Technologies AG has achieved a milestone on the way to a quantum-resilient world in collaboration with the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Infineon is the first company ever to receive the Common Criteria EAL6, an industry-leading certification level, for the implementation of a post-quantum cryptography algorithm in a security controller. Such cryptography enhances security for eSIM, 5G SIM and smart card applications, including personal IDs, payment cards and eHealth cards, against threats resulting from highly capable quantum computers. The world's first certification is a milestone on the way to a quantum-safe future in our daily lives.

A research team led by Professor Chih-Sung Chuu of the Department of Physics and the Center for Quantum Technology at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Taiwan has recently announced that it has successfully developed the world's smallest quantum computer---using only one photon. This is also the first optical quantum computer developed in Taiwan.

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki, Ph.D.), NTT Corporation (NTT, President: Mr. SHIMADA Akira), Tohoku University (President: Dr. TOMINAGA Teiji) and the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System Nagoya University (President: Dr. SUGIYAMA Naoshi) succeeded in developing a new type of superconducting flux qubit that operates in zero magnetic field.

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that its post-quantum research team received recognition at CRYPTOLOGY2024, the 9th International Cryptology and Information Security Conference held this week in Malaysia.

Quantropi is excited to announce it has partnered with Palo Alto Networks to bring its QiSpace PPK (Post-Quantum Preshared Keys) Generator to customers. This Palo Alto Networks validated Partner solution provides an elevated security posture protecting IPSec VPN traffic against “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks posed by quantum computing. QiSpace PPK Generator is an RFC 8784 standard compliant solution which provides immediate protection independent of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards.
