Quantum Resistant Cryptography (QRC) published an article titled Vallée de Joux: What If We Asked the Questions Before the Crisis? reflecting on the Anticipatory Territories initiative and the Science of Capability Architectures.

Quantum Resistant Cryptography (QRC) offers a unique, efficient solution to keep digital communications safe now and in the future. Since our solutions are compatible with existing server infrastructure, they require no expensive new hardware to implement. QRC is the only quantum-safe solution in 5G systems that is recommended by the United Nations International Telecommunication Union. QRC provides the best symmetric and asymmetric quantum-resistant cryptography available, made to work coherently up to a 512-bit symmetric encryption level, which is double the current industry maximum provided by classical AES encryption. Even at 256-bit level, it is 9 orders of magnitude stronger than standard AES. QRC’s eAES® provides the missing link in the cybersecurity chain, plugging the AES security gap by: 1) replacing the differentially weak internal ‘key schedule’ with a cryptographically strong pseudo-random generator, and 2) increasing the number of transformation rounds to at least 2n, which is at least twice the best-known cryptanalytic attack against the AES ciphers that are currently used as a benchmark for NIST post quantum cryptography. QRC is not just for quantum. Because it was built to withstand quantum attacks, it is incredibly powerful against today’s classical attacks. ▪ QRC protects against side channel attacks, which is unique in the industry. ▪ QRC protects against ransomware: the data is already strongly encrypted, and the organization holds the key, no one else. ▪ QRC protects against “unknown unknowns” such as ever-evolving quantum machine learning-enabled attacks. ▪ QRC protects against data harvesters collecting data to be decrypted in the future. There is no better solution against today’s hackers, all while getting the best asymmetric and symmetric post-quantum cryptography for the threats on the horizon.
