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.

How does Qrypt’s Quantum Key Generation technology ensure long-term data security?

Qrypt’s Quantum Key Generation technology provides long-term data security by sharing a recipe, instead of transmitting encryption keys, enabling parties to independently create the same key, thereby mitigating the risk of key interception and future decryption.

What are encryption keys?

Q: What are encryption keys?

They are used to encrypt and decrypt data securely, and need to be protected just as much as the data they are intended to protect.

Encryption keys are crucial tools used for encoding and decoding data, ensuring its confidentiality and integrity. They are pivotal in various encryption algorithms, including one- time pads where they play a vital role. In one-time pads, keys are random strings as long as the message itself and are used only once for encryption and decryption. This method provides perfect secrecy, demonstrating the importance of encryption keys not only in standard encryption schemes but also in absolute secure communications enabled by one-time pads. Like the data they safeguard, encryption keys demand stringent protection to maintain the security of the encrypted information.
