What is Quantum Key Distribution?

This is a low bandwidth technique where a dedicated quantum link is provided between two points, and quantum mechanical effects are used to ensure that information transfer is secure and private.

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

Q: 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.

“Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” is a significant concern in the realm of quantum threats. Adversaries employing this strategy are not selective about the data they harvest; they accumulate all possible encrypted data, even seemingly inconsequential bits of information. The anticipation is that, with future advancements in quantum computing and the ability to run algorithms that can crack current asymmetric encryption methods, they will be able to decrypt this stored data. This strategy is particularly alarming as it allows adversaries to decrypt not only the harvested data but also any future data transmitted using the same encryption keys, posing a substantial risk to data security across various sectors.
