As pioneers in cybersecurity and the inventors of the Secure Shell protocol, we at SSH Communications Security have always put security first. We strive to innovate cybersecurity by utilizing the latest technology to create solutions that protect critical data and assets against old as well as new, sophisticated cyber threats.
That’s why we’re active followers of and participants in developments in the quantum-safe cryptography field. So, we're excited that our SalaX Secure Mail is now quantum-safe when used with browsers that support PQC algorithms, such as Chrome, Firefox and Chromium based browsers.
What is SalaX Secure Mail?
SalaX Secure Mail is a highly secure email encryption solution designed to protect your most sensitive and confidential business communications. Easily integrated into your existing email services, SalaX Secure Mail ensures that your emails remain private and secure.
What does “quantum-safe” mean, and why is it important?
Quantum computing is an emerging technology that promises incredible advances but also poses significant risks to traditional encryption methods.
Quantum computers have the potential to break the encryption algorithms that currently protect your data, and this possibility makes quantum security a critical consideration if you want to keep your data safe and future-proof your security measures.
At SSH, we’re at the forefront of the quantum revolution. Through our involvement in the AIQUSEC project, part of the Nokia Veturi program supported by Business Finland, we’re implementing access management technology with a quantum-safe mechanism. This strategic move is set to redefine secure remote network connections, especially for critical infrastructure.
SalaX Secure Mail + PQC Supported Browsers = Quantum-Safe Mail
One of the most important features of SalaX Secure Mail is that it’s used via web browsers. This allows organizations to communicate quickly and securely without the need to download an application.
SalaX Secure Mail has been using the quantum-safe AES-256 algorithm for a while now, but the lack of browser support for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) was a barrier to achieving a fully quantum-safe solution.
Now, browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Chromium based browsers have integrated PQC using the ML-KEM algorithm (formerly known as Kyber).
Why is this change important?
- By using technologies that utilize quantum security and post-quantum algorithms, your organization is future-proof and protected against threats of quantum computing.
- With SalaX Secure Mail, you don’t need to change your current email communication processes and experience. Just configure PQC on your SalaX Secure Mail and your PQC supported browser and benefit from the enhanced security.
- And most importantly, knowing that your sensitive emails are protected allows you to focus on what really matters - your work and business priorities.
