Welcome to the Quantum Lab

Quantum computers are here, and the clock is ticking—migrating to 'quantum-safe encryption' is critical to safeguard your digital assets. The Quantum Lab equips you with the tools and insights you need to act now and stay ahead of the threat.

SEALSQ collaborates with the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) in the Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Building Block Consortium.(*)

introduction

What is Post Quantum Cryptography ?

Post-quantum cryptography is a field of cryptography focused on developing encryption algorithms that remain secure against the advanced computational power of quantum computers, which can break widely used traditional methods like RSA and ECC.
 
To ensure your systems can resist quantum computer attacks, it is also required to run those quantum-proof algorithms on specific quantum resistant secure micro-controllers embedded in your devices. The chips will protect certificates and keys and secure the connexion protocols like TLS with post quantum cryptography instead of vulnerable traditional methods like RSA.

How Does Post-Quantum Cryptography Work?

Picto SEAL SQ - Compatible

Lattice-based Cryptography

Uses complex mathematical structures called lattices. Solving lattice problems is computationally difficult, even for quantum computers.

Hash-based Cryptography

Relies on well-established cryptographic hash functions to create quantum-resistant digital signatures.

Picto SEAL SQ - One stop shop

Multivariate Polynomial Cryptography

Based on solving systems of multivariate quadratic equations, this method is computationally resistant to quantum attacks.

Isogeny-based Cryptography

Uses elliptic curve isogenies to develop quantum-safe cryptographic systems, offering robust security against quantum threats.

 

Collaborating with The National Institute of Standards and Technology

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been among the first to actively address the cryptographic risks posed by quantum computing. In 2016, NIST warned that algorithms like RSA could become insecure by 2030, prompting a standardization process for quantum-safe public-key cryptography.

SEALSQ is collaborating directly with NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) in the Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Building Block Consortium. This initiative aims to bring awareness to the issues involved in migrating to post-quantum algorithms and to develop practices to ease migration from current public-key algorithms to replacement algorithms. Additional information on this Consortium can be found here.
