EAGLYS, Mitsui, and Quantinuum Partner on Hardened Encryption Keys Using Quantum Computing

2024-08-27T22:00:55-07:00

EAGLYS, Inc., Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Quantinuum have partnered to integrate Quantum Origin into EAGLYS’ secure computation product, DataArmor. This strengthens the platform against quantum threats to encrypted data. DataArmor uses homomorphic encryption, allowing data analysis while maintaining encryption, thus protecting sensitive data and AI models. The integration of Quantum Origin, a solution that uses quantum computing processes to strengthen encryption keys, enhances DataArmor’s resilience against quantum-computing-based attacks. Quantum computers, expected to create significant value in the future, also pose a threat to cryptographic security measures. RSA, a widely used cryptographic algorithm, may soon be deciphered by cybercriminals, exposing confidential [...]
