Welcome to the latest edition of the Quantum Era Security Times, brought to you by ID Quantique, the world leader in quantum-safe cryptography solutions.

In this edition, we are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Thales in order to combat the security threats of quantum computing, and make quantum-safe crypto more widely available.

Next, we address the major quantum computing stories and developments to make the news in Q2 2019 with our latest quantum computing market review.

We also look at our work in partnership with Quantum Xchange, where we are making ultra-secure quantum networks a reality for leading U.S. industries. This includes the use of IDQ’s Quantum Key Distribution technology.

Finally, we would like to invite you to Quantum.Tech 2019 in Boston. This leading conference and exhibition brings together the quantum environment to help understand the entire landscape and ecosystem of quantum technologies and how they can fit together.

Best regards,

Kelly Richdale

Thales partners with ID Quantique and ISARA to combat the future security threats of quantum computing

Collaborations with ID Quantique and ISARA Corporation will make quantum-safe crypto more widely available to protect data in the cloud, applications and across networks.

By incorporating the quantum random number generation technology from ID Quantique and post-quantum algorithms from ISARA in its SafeNet Luna Hardware Security Modules (HSM) and SafeNet High Speed Encryptors, Thales is providing organisations with the crypto-agility to easily implement quantum-safe crypto and combat the threats of quantum computing.
