QANplatform has introduced that its quantum-resistant know-how is getting used for the primary time by an EU nation within the public sector. QANplatform’s know-how protects government-owned cybersecurity infrastructure towards quantum computing assaults.
The announcement was made in Zug, Switzerland, with Johann Polecsak, Co-Founder and CTO of QANplatform, and QAN’s Mental Property (IP) holding firm led by CEO Patrick Storchenegger. The companions are growing and implementing post-quantum cybersecurity (PQC) options primarily based on the QAN blockchain platform’s post-quantum function. It aligns with the NIST’s (US Nationwide Institute of Requirements and Expertise) quantum-resistant suggestions. The companions are implementing these PQC options into enterprise software program.

Patrick Storchenegger stated: “We’re happy with the profitable integration of QAN’s distinctive know-how by our accomplice, now utilized as a key element in its software program as a post-quantum cybersecurity layer. It will improve the nation’s strategic benefit in navigating the quantum leap by securing its operations.”
Johann Polecsak added: “We should all the time be forward of the curve in terms of cybersecurity, particularly within the period of ‘Retailer now, decrypt later’. It’s only a matter of time till quantum computer systems can break at the moment’s safety algorithms. Recognizing this, we’ve constructed QANplatform from floor as much as be immune towards quantum laptop assaults.”
Retailer now, decrypt later (SNDL) also referred to as harvest now, decrypt later (HNDL), is a cybersecurity risk that includes attackers amassing encrypted knowledge with the intention of decrypting it later utilizing extra highly effective computing strategies, equivalent to quantum computer systems.
The previous 12 months has seen a dramatic enchancment in quantum computing capabilities, marked by IBM (NYSE:)’s Condor, the 1000+ qubit power-machine. The US White Home has launched its Nationwide Cybersecurity Technique, emphasizing post-quantum cybersecurity as a key pillar, and in January 2024, NATO and the World Financial Discussion board additionally launched methods to arrange for the quantum period.
The EU is anxious to not fall behind within the quantum race towards its world opponents. To satisfy this problem, the Quantum (NASDAQ:) Applied sciences Flagship was launched in 2018 with a €1 billion funds. The race between quantum know-how and the event of cybersecurity countermeasures has made it crucial for the general public sector to take proactive measures to handle these safety challenges.
Word: For nationwide safety causes, the identify of the EU nation described on this launch can’t be disclosed, nor can particular particulars in regards to the actual use case.
About QANplatform:
QANplatform is the quantum-resistant hybrid blockchain platform that permits builders and enterprises to construct quantum-resistant sensible contracts and web3 options on high of the QAN blockchain platform in any programming language. Alpine Esports, a Group Renault (EPA:) model, and inter alia within the System 1 Esports Sequence signed QANplatform as its Official Blockchain Accomplice. QANplatform was chosen for the EY (Ernst & Younger) International Startup Academy 2023 Program, and backed by Qatar’s MBK Holding.
