PQShield is a UK based company formed in 2018 that specializes in providing post-quantum cryptography products and services. They have been a leading contributor to the NIST PQC standardization project and other standards efforts and possess significant IP in both hardware and software cryptography. Their agreement with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT consulting company, will allow them to support TCS’ clients wishing to migrate to post-quantum cryptography. Since TCS already engages with a great many enterprises worldwide, this agreement should help PQShield enhance the reach for its products and services. eShard is a French firm that analyzes and validates cryptography systems’ resistance against side channel attacks.
