Quside and PQShield Partner to Deliver Quantum-Safe Security Solution
Insider Brief:
Quside and PQShield have joined forces to integrate Quside’s quantum random number generators (QRNGs) with PQShield’s post-quantum cryptographic solutions. This collaboration aims to create a quantum-safe security solution that caters to various industries.
Enhanced Security with Seamless Integration
The newly integrated solution combines the superior randomness of Quside with the cryptographic primitives of PQShield within OpenSSL 3.2+ environments. This enables a smooth adoption of quantum-safe cryptography with minimal changes required by applications, ensuring a robust security foundation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Post-Quantum TLS 1.3: Ensures secure communication channels against quantum threats
- Post-Quantum X.509 PKI: Provides security for digital certificates using quantum-safe algorithms
- High-Quality Quantum Randomness: Delivers the highest level of entropy for cryptographic operations
- Entropy Monitoring and Metrology: Continuous monitoring to maintain security standards
- Application Integration: Seamlessly integrates with OpenSSL TLS and other APIs
- Post-Quantum and Hybrid Cryptography: Supports various PQC standards
Use Cases
- Quantum-Safe Communications/TLS: Protects data transmission against quantum threats
- Public Key Infrastructure/Certificates: Secures digital certificates with quantum-resistant algorithms
