It is well known in the world of cybersecurity that the looming availability of quantum computers will render useless all existing protocols for encrypting data. The only provably secure solution for the exchange of shared secret encryption keys is to replace the use of mathematical encryption algorithms with physics. Enhancing existing encryption key exchanges with quantum key distribution results in forward secrecy, fail-safe detection and foiling of all eavesdropping attempts on transmitted data.QuantumXchange provides the only patented technology (developed in conjunction with Battelle Memorial Institute) for extending to any distance the exchange of quantum keys between two endpoints. Our quantum-safe technology finally offers intelligence agencies, financial institutions, healthcare facilities, critical infrastructure services, and cloud storage providers with a solution for securely transmitting data without fear of interception and deciphering from unauthorized agents.
