Improved AI capabilities, accelerated business intelligence, and increased productivity and efficiency were the top expectations of organizations currently investing in cloud-based quantum computing technologies, according to IDC. Users are very optimistic. Initial survey findings indicate that while cloud-based quantum computing is a young market, and allocated funds for quantum computing initiatives are limited, end-users are optimistic that early investment will result in a competitive advantage.
This investment underscores the importance of quantum safe capabilities to support security communities in the US, UK and Australia. Australian-based QuintessenceLabs is a global leader in quantum cybersecurity recognized for its advanced quantum-safe data protection capabilities, including the world's fastest quantum random number generators, crypto-agile key management, data security policy enforcement, and second generation quantum key generation.
The U.S. Department of Justice has asked victims of the Quantum Stresser DDoS-for-hire service, whose operator was recently sentenced, to come forward. According to authorities, the service had roughly 70-80,000 subscribers between 2011 and 2018, and in 2018 customers launched or attempted to launch approximately 50,000 DDoS attacks aimed at individuals or organizations.
Quantum communication pioneer, Qubitekk, further strengthened its patent portfolio around Quantum Key Distribution technology. QinetiQ, a British multinational defense technology company, has signed an agreement to sell its entire Quantum Key Distribution patent portfolio to Qubitekk.
Could satellites play a role in distributing next-generation encryption keys? Robert Bedington, CTO and co-founder at Singapore-based SpeQtral, describes quantum communications via satellites in this in-depth interview with Information Security Media Group. Quantum communications protects key distribution channels against eavesdropping, he explains.
Researchers are attempting to develop new forms of cryptography that could not be cracked by powerful quantum computing devices that are in the works. That requires devising public key cryptosystems based on computational problems that are difficult to break even using quantum algorithms, says Divesh Aggarwal, principal investigator at Singapore's Center for Quantum Technologies.
ISARA is among several Canadian technology innovators selected by the APMA - Canada's national automotive association representing OEM producers of parts, equipment, tools, supplies, advanced technology, and services for the worldwide automotive industry - for inclusion in the demonstration car at APMA's booth within the Smart Cities showcase. "As cars become ever smarter and more connected, data security is an integral component of driver safety," said ISARA CEO and Co-founder Scott Totzke.
