Guide to Quantum-Safe Cryptography (QSC) for Enterprises
Start your journey toward quantum safety with an overview guide to Quantum-Safe Cryptography (QSC).
Why get quantum-safe now?
- The Quantum Threat. The power of quantum computers is increasing and will eventually reach a point where classical cryptography is in danger.
- Changes do not happen overnight. A full infrastructure upgrade to Quantum-Safe can take years. NIST strongly recommends to start preparing your information security systems now.
- Long-term secrets in danger. Transmissions are vulnerable to a recording attack - they can be stored and decoded later. Any long-term secret in such a transmission can be exposed.
Who else is getting quantum-safe?
- The US Congress issued the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act on prioritizing the migration toward post-quantum cryptography.
- NIST's competition for the best Quantum safe algorithms has been running since 2016, the primary candidates are implemented by Tectia Quantum Safe.
- Large financial organizations already started the migration to quantum-safe. Our customers are already using Tectia Quantum Safe.
1. Cybercrime and the capabilities of cybercriminals are increasing
The financial capabilities of cybercriminals and hostile state actors are estimated to increase rapidly in the following years - from 1 to 10 trillion by 2025.
2. Quantum computers already exist
Small quantum computers are available in the cloud, which anyone can access for a reasonably low cost. Even though the current processing power is not enough, your traffic can be snooped and cracked in a few years. With more sophisticated quantum computing technology, any encrypted data is potentially vulnerable.
3. Secrets now are not necessarily secrets in the future
All current data encryption is based on classical cryptography, which is vulnerable to quantum attacks and bears the risk of exploitation by quantum computers. With the rapid growth of quantum computing resources, they will soon become a threat to traditional cryptography.
You can protect your organization with post-quantum algorithms
Post-quantum encryption algorithms are a special class of algorithms. Quantum computers have no specific advantage against them - not now, or in the foreseeable future.
Be compliant with NIST/BSI recommendations
Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition supports the following post-quantum encryption algorithms:
- Crystals/Kyber – primary NIST (US) standardization candidate
- FrodoKem – recommended by BSI (Germany)
- NTRU – retained for OpenSSH compatibility
- FireSaber – retained for backwards compatibility
Enjoy full platform support and top performance
Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition supports all major platforms, similarly to the original Tectia, but with a few additions. Supported platforms include Microsoft Windows, Linux, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and newly also MacOS.
Ensure full compatibility with other SSH
Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition supports classical encryption algorithms, providing full compatibility with earlier Tectia technology and competing SSH implementations, like OpenSSH.
Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition is also compatible with Tectia Server for IBM z/OS Edition, our secure mainframe file transfer solution.
Secure your business with a hybrid algorithm approach
Quantum computers will not have a specific advantage against quantum-safe algorithms.
To make Tectia extra secure, we have used the hybrid algorithm approach - a combination of classical and quantum-ready algorithms to protect your organization against traditional as well as quantum attacks.
Be quantum-safe and FIPS compliant
Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition can be run in FIPS mode so that it is both quantum-safe and FIPS compliant at the same time.
Secure any connection with tunneling
With the tunneling feature of Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition, any TCP/IP connection can be made quantum-safe.
We also offer NQX, a high-performance, quantum-ready VPN solution. Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition can be combined with NQX, as a tunnel-in-a-tunnel solution. Tectia Quantum-Safe Edition end-to-end encryption going through an NQX tunnel.
