There is no questioning that the development of quantum computers will potentially enhance various aspects of our life. However, they also introduce problems that undermine the security of our data, threatening the cybersecurity we rely on.

“Q-Day” refers to the day when quantum computers reach the power and qubit reliability enough to render current encryption algorithms (e.g. RSA, ECC) useless, rendering digital data vulnerable to exploitation. Unless defensive protocols are put in place, this event could lead to detrimental consequences within financial networks, military systems, and societal infrastructures.

Earlier estimations suggested that Q-Day wouldn’t arrive until 2029. However, research indicates that improvements in qubit reliability is amplifying efficiency, shortening the expected date. Whether or not post-quantum cryptography is integrated into our technologies, the arrival of the Q-Day is accelerating without any means of slowing down.

The other impending threat is the concept of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later”. This strategy involves stealing encrypted data with the intent of decrypting it in the foreseeable future when quantum computers with sufficient power and qubit reliability become operational.

Given this threat, transitioning to post-quantum cryptography becomes significantly more imperative. Any form of modern encryption could be vulnerable to decryption once the Q-Day arrives. For instance, compromised data regarding the functionalities of a nuclear weapon would be exploitable when quantum computers emerge, leading to widespread disruption on a global scale.

In response to this situation, we have developed IronCAP^TM that offers a comprehensive collection of the most prevalent post-quantum cryptographies that have been standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These encryption and digital signature algorithms experience thorough testing to determine their effectiveness against quantum threats. IronCAP^TM promises security, efficiency, and coherence for encryption/decryption/signing/verification/key-generation algorithms to reduce the time consumption as well as the storage space required to complete these processes.

Along with its quantum-safety, IronCAP^TM also enhances efficiencies by taking advantage of modern CPUs such as Advanced Vector Extension 2 (AVX2) to allow seamless implementation of post-quantum security without altering computational structure, ensuring its implementations are accommodating.

IronCAP^TM is more than just a technological advancement, it is an accessible, yet powerful doorway to a secure future promoting confidentiality within both our personal lives and the digital world. IronCAP^TM works as the perfect guardian, guiding and protecting us as we transition into a post-quantum era!
