Where does data harvesting occur?

Encrypted data can be intercepted and harvested at various points, including the user's server, through BGP hijacking, tapping undersea cables, and satellite data interception, posing risks of future decryption and exploitation of the data by adversaries using quantum computing capabilities.

What is the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL)?

HNDL involves adversaries collecting and storing encrypted data today, intending to decrypt it in the future when quantum computing capabilities, capable of breaking current encryption, become available.

What is Quantum Entropy?

Q: What is Quantum Entropy?

Entropy is a measure of randomness in a system, and quantum entropy is randomness based on quantum sources. Qrypt uses sensitive measurement electronics on different types of quantum sources to produce true random numbers.

Quantum Entropy is a form of true randomness derived from the inherent unpredictability of quantum mechanical phenomena, unlike classical entropy sources that can exhibit predictability. Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) exploit quantum properties to produce genuine random numbers, ensuring a high-quality entropy essential for secure cryptographic systems. Unlike classical Random Number Generators (RNGs) that are algorithmically derived and potentially vulnerable to prediction, QRNGs offer an unlimited key space and robust security by ensuring the unpredictability and non-reproducibility of generated numbers, making them ideal for tasks requiring high-security levels, such as encryption.
