Pioneering Post-Quantum Security: Three Decades of Technology Innovation

Since founding 01 Communique in 1992, we’ve maintained an unwavering commitment to technological innovation. Today, we’re leading the charge in protecting the world against quantum computing threats. This evolution reflects our consistent focus on identifying and solving tomorrow’s technological challenges.

The recent advancements in quantum computing, particularly Google Quantum AI’s Willow quantum chip, have validated our long-held belief that quantum threats to current encryption methods are real and imminent. While others are just beginning to grapple with these challenges, we’ve already developed and implemented solutions that are ready for deployment.

Our journey into post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has yielded significant results. Our patent-protected technologies aren’t just theoretical – they’re practical solutions already integrated into real-world applications.  We use the PQC algorithms which have been endorsed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as their latest FIPS-203, FIPS-204, and FIPS-205 standards, confirming their robustness and reliability.

Perhaps our most exciting breakthrough is in the cryptocurrency space. Since 2022, we’ve recognized that digital currencies would be particularly vulnerable to quantum computing attacks. This foresight led us to develop a groundbreaking solution with a partner: a PQC-compliant Solana (SOL) L1 blockchain. This innovation, protected by US Patent #11,669,833, isn’t just another blockchain – it’s a transformation tool that can convert any existing cryptocurrency into a quantum-safe asset.

But our innovations don’t stop at blockchain. Our IronCAP™ cryptographic engine is designed for businesses of all sizes, making quantum-safe security accessible to everyone. We’re particularly proud of IronCAP X™, the world’s first quantum-safe end-to-end email encryption solution. In a world where phishing and email fraud are rampant, this technology ensures both privacy and sender authenticity.

Looking at our history, it’s clear that adaptation and innovation are in our DNA. From our early days trading on the Canadian Dealing Network to our current position on the TSX Venture Exchange and US OTC PINK market, we’ve consistently evolved to meet new challenges. Under the leadership of our founder and CEO Andrew Cheung, we’ve built a portfolio of seven patents and multiple pending applications, all focused on securing the future of digital communication.

As we move forward, our vision extends beyond current applications. We’re actively developing quantum-safe solutions for AI Machine Learning and true end-to-end messaging platforms. Our goal is clear: to ensure that as the world becomes increasingly interconnected and remote, our technologies provide the security foundation necessary for safe, reliable digital interactions.

The quantum computing threat isn’t a distant possibility – it’s an approaching reality. But at 01 Communique, we see this not as a challenge to fear, but as an opportunity to innovate. Our suite of “Zero-Trust” secure remote access services and products, combined with our quantum-safe cryptographic solutions, offers comprehensive protection for the post-quantum era.

Through three decades of innovation, our journey reflects our commitment to anticipating and addressing technological challenges before they become crises. As quantum computing continues to advance, we remain dedicated to our mission: providing innovative, accessible, and effective security solutions for the quantum age.

The future of cybersecurity is quantum-safe, and we’re proud to be leading the way in making that future a reality. With our proven track record of innovation and our continued investment in cutting-edge solutions, we’re not just preparing for the quantum future – we’re actively shaping it.
