Quantum cryptography is no longer a buzzword. The field of cryptography is undergoing a massive overhaul in the quantum era. The anticipation of the launch of a fault-tolerant quantum computer has made cryptographers wake up and take notice.
QNu Labs' quantum security solutions safeguard classified data and secure communications in the government and defense sectors with advanced encryption and quantum key distribution.
Industries such as banking, healthcare, power grids, and telecom (critical digital infrastructure) are at risk as quantum computers become more powerful, and the potential for systems compromise in these industries continues to grow with every passing day.
On December 21, 2022, President Biden signed the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, which encourages federal government agencies to adopt technology that protects against quantum computing attacks.
The landscape of digital security is constantly evolving and threats loom large. But, the emergence of quantum security provides hope. Quantum security represents a paradigm shift in the way we safeguard our digital infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated attacks.
Data is the engine of the new economy. The data economy depends on the creation of data and data sharing. This makes data an invaluable asset for nations, enterprises and individuals. The data exchange fuels data harvesting. Companies and individuals are known to harvest data - extract useful information from data sources for their personal benefit.

Quantum computers use the laws of quantum mechanics to process information in quantum bits or qubits. Qubits can exist in multiple states at the same time (called quantum superposition). This property allows quantum computers to process data and solve problems exponentially faster than classical computers.
Google announced crossing the Quantum Supremacy Threshold of 53 Qubits. This essentially means that a Quantum Computer (QC) of 53 Qubits can perform some operations faster than the most advanced supercomputers today.
In cybersecurity, where data protection is paramount, traditional cryptographic methods have long been the stalwart guardians of sensitive information. However, as computing power advances, so too do the tools available to potential attackers. In the ever-evolving landscape, the emergence of quantum cryptography offers a promising solution to the challenges of secure communication in the digital age.
The process of encrypting data is called cryptography. It converts plain text into scrambled text so that someone with the right “key” can read it. Quantum cryptography, by extension, uses the principles of quantum mechanics to encrypt data and transmit it securely.
Quantum computers use fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems in a matter of seconds (which otherwise would take several years). Once a quantum computer achieves a scale large enough to crack RSA encryption protocols, all of our online data is under threat.
QNu Labs provides ✓Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) solutions for enhanced data security & privacy. Learn how QKD ensures secure communication.
To address these pertinent questions, the Minister of Electronics & Information Technology proposed the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 in Parliament. It received the Presidential nod on 11th August. India has now joined the ranks of developed countries to protect citizens' data and citizens' right to privacy.
Quantum computing (QC) garners a lot of positive press due to its power to solve complex computations several times faster. It is envisioned that QC can be a critical enabler and a strong catalyst to considerably reduce the computational power required to perform complex calculations and boost the future of sixth-generation (6G) communication.
Encryption, a crucial digital security practice, conceals information from unauthorized access by establishing entry parameters, akin to a password for data retrieval. It involves transforming data into an unreadable format using intricate algorithms, rendering it inaccessible to unauthorized entities.
Today, a huge amount of stolen information is lying in foreign databases. They are ready to be exposed in the next few years with the imminent arrival of quantum computers. It’s time for governments and enterprises to step up. They need to be quantum-ready and develop a crypto agility strategy.
Most of us remember Y2K. The global Y2K project aimed to replace the two-digit year codes with four-digit codes by December 31, 1999, to ensure that computers didn’t think the year was 1900 and bring the world to a halt. We successfully navigated the problem. At the tick of 00:00:01 on January 1, 2000, the world functioned as usual.
Before understanding Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), let us understand quantum cryptography. Cryptography is the process of encrypting and protecting data such that only the person with the right secret key can decrypt it. Quantum cryptography is a process of encryption using properties of quantum mechanics to transmit data securely, making it hack-proof.
A quantum computer can process data at an enormous speed. A transaction that takes classical computers weeks to compute can be processed by a quantum computer in seconds. The ability of quantum computers to factor many possibilities simultaneously has severe implications for data privacy. Data attacks with advanced quantum technologies could crack even the most advanced encryption schemes.
The Indian Cabinet recently approved the National Quantum Mission. The mission is essential for building excellence in national quantum security and developing quantum computers, quantum communication, new materials, quantum sensors, and quantum cryptography.
Y2Q, the year when quantum computers will become powerful enough to break the current encryption code, is approaching sooner than expected. The moment is dreaded by businesses, governments, and individuals alike because it poses a serious threat to the security of our networks and data.
The digitalisation of the economy has impacted the financial services industry more than others. Digital financial transactions have replaced physical currencies. Banknotes were exchanged on trust. They were issued by trustworthy institutes in the country and used between parties without fear of doubt.
