CyberProtonics Lightweight Quantum-Resistant Cryptosystem Nabs Simplifi OEM Deal

Mar 5, 2024 | News

Steal Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL) players are stealing and harvesting data ahead of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Analyst Chris Steffen with Enterprise Management Associates warns: “Anyone not actively working to protect their organization against quantum era threats is likely condemning it to an ultimate doom loop.”

CyberProtonics has introduced a lightweight, software-based cryptosystem that enables quantum-ready protection to ward of today’s attacks, and tomorrow’s. Embeddable virtually anywhere, any time, the advanced cryptosystem generates blistering-fast encryption speeds of 512 bits to up to 10K bits, rendering data useless when a breach occurs.

CyberProtonics also won its first deal for its embeddable software cryptosystem: an OEM agreement with Simplifi, leaders in secure remote computing.

Simplifi CEO Nick Shevillo said: “Many of our cellular carrier partners, government agencies, and Fortune 100 companies are interested in our new Connect 3 fixed wireless router for WFH employees. Embedded with CyberProtonics’ quantum-resistant cryptosystem, our products provide next-level gateway security for all network traffic at the router.”

Among applications are:   

– Work from Home: Employees continue to work from home, and cybersecurity is more important than ever for the hybrid workforce. CyberProtonics keeps confidential work data secure, at rest or in transit.

– Internet of Things (IoT): CyberProtonics’ cybersecurity protocols protect IoT devices and networks from the latest threats with reliable and robust security.

– Generative AI: Large Language Models that companies want to keep private are protected by CyberProtonics’ proprietary cryptosystem. 

– Defense: CyberProtonics’ 512-bit to 10k-bit encryption protects data at rest or in transit in theaters of operations, supporting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), wearable devices, connected vehicles, smart infrastructure, and portable communications.

– Satellite: End-to-end encryption in the ground terminal and in the satellite itself safeguards transmissions, ensuring data security and confidentiality.

– Industrial Control Panel: Protects critical infrastructure with next-generation quantum-resistance technology, designed to ensure reliable and resilient security for factories, power plants, and wastewater treatment facilities.

– Commercial Data: Banking and finance, healthcare, hyperconnected commerce, and more.

CyberProtonics legacy-friendly and plug-and-play features allow its cryptosystem to seamlessly integrate in all types of applications, including IoT, e-sim, and generative AI Private Large Language Models (PLLMs), as well as defense, satellite and industrial control environments. CyberProtonics protects data at rest and in transit, without performance impacts, and is recognized as the first truly lightweight quantum-resistant commercial solution for rendering stolen data completely useless.

CyberProtonics’ proprietary software employs a robust licensing engine for both connected and air-gapped models and solutions, with varying time periods and iterations. It delivers:

– Strength: Post-quantum symmetric key-based encryption, with key lengths of 512 bits, increasing up to 10k bits.

– Speed: Lightning-fast operation does not affect a device’s computing or memory cycles, even for the smallest sensor or IoT device.

– Size: The lightweight footprint of CyberProtonics’ cryptosystem’s binary runtime enables end-to-end encryption at the data generation source, with single-digit MB of code.

– Security: Encryption of data in transit and at rest for both on-premises legacy systems and modern secure access service edge.

– Breach Immunity and Unwavering Compliance: Valuable data is made useless. Full compliance with regulatory mandates and industry standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOX is automatic and assured.

– Market-Proven SDK: Symmetric key encryption optimized for small footprint applications (crucial for IoT devices), stronger than any currently deployed application of AES, RSA, or ChaCha20. Fully automated key management that eliminates manual key distribution human errors. C language callable APIs.

“Finally, we’re seeing an easy solution that provides end-to-end quantum-resistant encryption at rest and in transit to counter today’s pernicious cyberattacks and alleviate impeding Q-day fears,” said Chris Steffen, VP, Enterprise Management Associates.

CyberProtonics CEO and Founder Greg Welch said: “In a world where cybercrimes are an everyday occurrence, we’re on a mission to encrypt all data to ensure it never falls into the wrong hands, rendering breached data useless to malicious actors, hostile nation states and their proxies. Innovators, users, regulators, and OEMs need and deserve affordability, speed, and performance in data protection that’s accessible anywhere, any place, and protects every time. CyberProtonics immediately turns the organization’s diamonds of data into coal, unusable by anyone except those intended.”
