Introducing enQase: The Key to Quantum-Safe Security

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- enQase, a groundbreaking quantum-safe security solution, launches today to safeguard the most sensitive information against the threat of quantum attacks. This innovative solution addresses the urgent calls from leading business technology analyst, cybersecurity experts, and governments worldwide who are stressing the importance to fortify digital defenses against quantum computing threats.

The urgency to act is because the stakes are high, as malicious hackers who acquire highly sensitive encrypted data today could decrypt soon with quantum computers – thus the term "harvest now, decrypt later".

Why enQase exists

In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released its recommendations for PQC urging all sectors to urgently begin transitioning to higher levels of cryptographic protection.

Experts, including the World Economic Forum, recommend combining PQC with Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) to provide organizations with the strongest protection against future quantum computing threats. While PQC is anticipated to offer good data security, the integration of both technologies is considered the most comprehensive approach to safeguarding sensitive information in the post-quantum era.

Certain limitations that have prompted organizations and sectors to explore more comprehensive security solutions for their most highly sensitive information include:

• Theoretical foundations: PQC standards are grounded on theoretical analyses and projections of quantum computer capabilities. The security of these algorithms relies on mathematical assumptions that may be challenged as quantum technology advances.
• Deterministic Algorithms: PQC utilizes deterministic algorithms, which could potentially be vulnerable to unforeseen weaknesses or breakthroughs in quantum computing.
• Reliance on PRNGs: PQC implementations often depend on Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNGs) for key generation and other random values. The security of these systems could be compromised if the PRNGs are found to be predictable or vulnerable to quantum attacks.

In comparison, enQase takes quantum-safe security beyond conventional standards by harnessing the power of quantum mechanics to fortify and 'enQase' NIST's PQC standards. This innovative approach provides organizations with unparalleled assurance that their information will remain secure today, against "Harvest now, Decrypt later" attacks, and well into the future.
