Quantum Dice, a spin-out from the University of Oxford, has been selected for the Digital Security by Design (DSbD) Technology Access Programme (TAP), a UK government-backed initiative aimed at enhancing cybersecurity resilience. The company, known for its pioneering quantum random number generator (QRNG) technology, will collaborate with six other companies to integrate its secure, verifiable quantum entropy into systems using the CHERI protection model developed by the University of Cambridge. This collaboration is part of the sixth cohort of the program, which focuses on cybersecurity technologies for critical infrastructure and IoT devices.
Quantum Dice will demonstrate its patented DISC™ protocol, designed for continuous quantum assurance, to provide real-time entropy measurement and verification. This will enable CHERIoT-compatible systems to ensure device integrity, memory safety, and continuous security verification, addressing the unique security needs of high-stakes applications.
The collaboration with Digital Catapult aligns with Quantum Dice’s mission to revolutionize cybersecurity by providing trusted, quantum-enhanced encryption solutions. By leveraging quantum properties of light, the company aims to enhance the security of cryptographic keys and encryption processes, supporting the connected future. This marks a significant step in the UK’s commitment to advancing digital resilience across sectors.
