Are You Prepared For A Quantum Future?

Quantum is here and the world is unprepared. YES, the world is unprepared for a powerful technological future.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced August 26th 2020, they would spend $625 million on quantum advancements and also awarded $115 million to Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), a new research center led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) that will harness quantum information science for technological advances and discoveries. This will fast track the transfer of quantum technologies from the lab to the marketplace.

Are you prepared for a quantum marketplace? Quantum advancements bring along quantum threats and IronCAP is at the forefront of cybersecurity. Our CEO, Andrew Cheung, built IronCAP with the vision to protect all data from quantum threats. Its unique cryptographic technology is bullet proof, time tested and vetted by major players in the industry as quantum-safe.

Your current security systems, such as RSA, will render obsolete in the post-quantum era BUT IronCAP’s technology will protect you from quantum threats as well as traditional cyber threats. The world is advancing, get IronCAP today before it is too late.

IronCAP X Version 1.1

The power of quantum computers threatens our data security; and the threat of breaking all our digital and data security is clear and present.

Today a vast majority of emails are sent unencrypted with no digital signatures making them the perfect playground for bad actors/hackers. While there are many email encryption services available, none of them are quantum-safe. IronCAP X uses industry recognized GPG technology to provide end-to-end email encryption and is the only one quantum-safe.

IronCAP X can positively change your email communication to safely send emails with sensitive information such as legal documents, financials, other business contracts. It is PROVEN SECURE! End-to-end encryption combined with digital signatures protects your data ensuring ONLY the intended recipients can read the messages. IronCAP X email encryption product is free for personal users and is compatible with a “seamless invitation” mechanism which will automatically inserts a message to invite non-IronCAP X recipients to sign up for IronCAP X in order to read the encrypted message.

In this global pandemic cybercrime has increased by 400% and a majority of data breaches are due to phishing attacks. We can change this by using IronCAP X. This product will effectively shut-down the source of most malicious activities such as ransomware attacks and phishing email scams.

Post-Quantum Cryptography Race – NIST

If you are in the cyber security industry you know the quantum era is here and our outdated security systems are not ready for post-quantum cyber threats.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been studying encryption for the post-quantum era and has settled on a group of 15 finalists with two favourable approaches: one is the code-based cryptosystem and second is the lattice-based cryptosystem. The code-based approach is time tested and powerful whereas the lattice-based approach is less time-tested than the code-based AND you will need to wait for 2-3 years for the final result.

At the end NIST will choose one winner from each category. Interestingly of these 15 finalists there is just ONE finalist (in the main candidate list) standing strong on the code-based approach making it the obvious choice and the code-based approach a no-brainer. NIST is still a while away from its final recommendation for the post-quantum era BUT as we know the quantum era is here and we need to be ready for the threats that come with it.

Andrew Cheung, CEO of IronCAP, we did foresee the threats quantum computing could pose and has spent years in developing a unique Goppa code-based cryptographic encryption which is the same method as the code-based approach in the NIST race. IronCAP has been bench tested, independently reviewed, and proven un-hackable in a 3rd party trial (hackathon). Furthermore, IronCAP is already fully developed and available today with many major global cyber consultants partnering with it for its post-quantum cybersecurity strategy instead of waiting around for NIST to publish its final paper.

Global tech giants such as Honeywell, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM already released their quantum computers and are working to better them every day. Honeywell recently stated that they would increase their quantum volume by 10 times every year. We need to be ready NOW and IronCAP’s unique, bulletproof cryptographic encryption will protect you from future quantum threats as well as current cyber threats.
