Quantinumm's software company Cambridge Quantum announced a new way to provide cryptographic keys that uses Honeywell's H1, entanglement and an API. Quantum Origin can run on any quantum computer and is designed to integrate into existing cybersecurity solutions.
This new cloud-based method uses quantum entanglement to generate cryptographic keys and is based on verifiable quantum randomness, according to the company.
Duncan Jones, head of cybersecurity at Cambridge Quantum, said Quantum Origin is kickstarting the quantum cybersecurity industry.
Cambridge Quantum will offer the new service to financial services companies and cybersecurity vendors initially and later to telecommunications, energy, manufacturing, defense and governments.
During a press call on Monday, leaders from two companies that have used these quantum keys explained their experiences with the new service.
The company's first quantum encrypted message sent from the ISS was "Hello Quantum World." Axiom chose Quantum Origin to protect data from in-space manufacturing, experiments, services and Department of Defense initiatives.
