Sovereign by Design: Europe’s Shift from Encryption to Sovereignty Our latest whitepaper, Sovereign by Design, explores how Europe can secure its digital future through quantum-ready infrastructures, trusted identities, and post-quantum cryptography. Developed in collaboration with Wibu-Systems, this report examines the real-world pathways towards digital sovereignty — from hardware-rooted trust to the next phase of crypto-agility. It features insights drawn from the INNO Days roundtable with Wibu-Systems, KIT, SAP and Infineon, moderated by The Quantum Space. As we move into the quantum era, the message is clear: sovereignty must be engineered — not assumed. Download the whitepaper at The Quantum Space - click on the link below.

Quantum Censorship Protocols Successfully Restrict Resource Restoration Using Free Operations in Public Networks Researchers have developed censorship protocols for communication networks that focus on preventing the restoration of original information, rather than perfect erasure, offering a new approach to network security distinct from traditional cryptography and raising concerns about potential circumvention through resource sharing. #quantum #quantumcomputing #technology https://lnkd.in/emDvcTSB

In May this year, China announced its first commercial quantum-encrypted voice call over 1,000 km : not just a tech milestone, a strategic signal. A Chinese state-owned telecom firm (China Telecom Quantum Group) announced the rollout of a commercial “unhackable” quantum cryptography network, part of Beijing’s long-term national plan for quantum-secure communications. The system, built with government support, connects key industrial and defense hubs, positioning China as a frontrunner in quantum network infrastructure. Technological and geopolitical landmarks : - it marks a shift from R&D to real-world deployment of quantum key distribution (QKD). - it raises questions for global standards — interoperability, export controls, and encryption governance. - it highlights a strategic divergence : China invests in quantum networks as national infrastructure, while the West focuses on software-based PQC. The start of a quantum divide, where nations secure communication sovereignty as the next strategic battleground ? #QuantumSecurity #ChinaTech #CyberSovereignty #Innovation #Geopolitics #Encryption https://lnkd.in/eKvFMCwz

#DefenceFinanceMonitor | Quantropi – Quantum Cryptography for Allied Critical Infrastructure Quantropi, founded in Ottawa in 2018 by James Nguyen and Dr. Randy Kuang, is a Canadian deep-tech startup delivering quantum-safe cryptography through its QiSpace™ platform. Its solutions – MASQ™ (post-quantum public-key), QEEP™ (quantum-safe symmetric cipher), and SEQUR™ (entropy and “digital QKD”) – aim to secure communications against both present-day cyber threats and future quantum-enabled attacks. Unlike traditional quantum key distribution, Quantropi’s “digital QKD” operates over standard IP networks without specialized hardware, promising rapid and scalable deployment. The company has demonstrated record-setting performances, including key distribution 250× faster than photonic QKD in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom under the EU’s OPENQKD testbed, and a transatlantic quantum-safe VPN link between Copenhagen and Halifax during NATO’s DIANA accelerator. These results directly support NATO’s multi-domain secure communications and Europe’s EuroQCI initiative. Quantropi also integrates its SDK into STMicroelectronics hardware and partnered with HIMERA (Ukraine) to deliver quantum-secure tactical radios, embedding its cryptography into NATO-aligned industrial systems. While not EU-based, Quantropi strengthens European sovereignty by offering an allied alternative to Chinese quantum communication systems and reducing reliance on adversarial suppliers. Its patents (EP3701664A4, EP3959840A1) are filed in Europe, ensuring IP protection for EU deployments. For Europe, Quantropi represents a significant contributor to defense sovereignty: its technology is high-TRL, standards-compliant (ETSI), and already validated in European infrastructure. Future steps, such as establishing a European footprint or joint ventures with EU primes, would deepen its role in Europe’s strategic autonomy. #Quantropi #JamesNguyen #RandyKuang #QiSpace #MASQ #QEEP #SEQUR #DeutscheTelekom #STMicroelectronics #HIMERA #NATO #DIANA #EuroQCI #DefenceFinanceMonitor https://lnkd.in/d4g_qABg

IBM Launches Guardium Cryptography Manager to Address Cryptographic Risk in the Quantum Era “IBM’s approach to crypto-agility reflects a broader understanding of the evolving cryptographic landscape. By aligning its data security strategy with emerging quantum risks and leveraging its expertise in quantum computing IBM is well-positioned to help organizations prepare for the next era of encryption,” said Heather C. West, Ph.D, Research Manager, IDC. “This forward-looking posture is essential as enterprises begin navigating the long-term transition toward quantum resilience.” Read More: https://lnkd.in/dc25MWkx #CryptographicRisk #GuardiumCryptographyManager #IBM #ITDigest #news #quantumcomputing #QuantumEra

The transition to post-quantum cryptography isn’t just a technical upgrade; it’s a strategic necessity. The choices made today will determine whether our digital infrastructure remains secure tomorrow. For organizations, this means asking the right questions now: ▪️ How resilient is our current cryptographic strategy? ▪️ Are we planning for interoperability during the transition? ▪️ Do we have a roadmap for post-quantum readiness? ▪️ How can we define security in this new context? Preparation needs to start before quantum threats become practical. In our latest article, Antoine GICQUEL examines hybridization strategies, with a focus on digital signatures, and outlines how organizations can approach a safe transition.

As quantum computing accelerates, its potential to reshape industries is becoming impossible to ignore. While tech companies have led the charge, business leaders across sectors, from banking to healthcare, are now grappling with the transformative implications. In the latest installment of our New Risk Mindset series, we explore how quantum computing is set to transform industries, and why leaders should enact a proactive, integrated risk approach. Oliver Yaros, Jason Hungerford and Clark Bakewell discuss the business impacts, cybersecurity implications and emerging legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the best practices that organizations should consider to reap the full benefits of quantum computing. ⚛️ Access: https://lnkd.in/gKyZ9gkZ #QuantumComputing #NewRiskMindset
