Reticulate Micro, a Florida-based tech company, and Quantropi, a Canadian cybersecurity firm, have partnered to offer the world’s first post-quantum video encryption solution. The partnership aims to counter threats posed by advances in quantum technology that could potentially crack existing encryption systems. Quantropi’s QiSpace platform will provide cryptographic capabilities for Reticulate’s video compression product, VAST, and its development platform, VisionOS. The partnership comes as the U.S. National Security Agency warns of quantum technology’s potential to undermine digital data protection. Joshua Cryer, CEO of Reticulate Micro, and Jame Nguyen, CEO of Quantropi, expressed optimism about the partnership’s potential to enhance security.
Quantum Threat and the Need for Post-Quantum Encryption
The rapid advancements in quantum technology have raised concerns about the potential vulnerability of current encryption systems. The U.S. National Security Agency has warned that these technological leaps could potentially crack encryption systems that protect everything from financial transactions to nuclear weapon arsenals. The asymmetric encryption methods used to protect virtually all digital data and communications could be completely undermined by quantum and artificial intelligence advances as early as next year. This looming threat has prompted companies to seek solutions that can withstand the quantum threat.
Reticulate Micro and Quantropi: A Partnership for Quantum Security
Reticulate Micro, Inc., a technology company that focuses on delivering trusted and resilient communications, and Quantropi, a Canadian cybersecurity company, have announced an exclusive partnership. The two firms aim to jointly market their video encoding and quantum security technologies to the defense and encoding markets. This partnership is a response to the growing need for post-quantum cryptographic capabilities in the face of the quantum threat.
Quantum-Level Security and Trust: The Reticulate-Quantropi Solution
The partnership between Reticulate and Quantropi will leverage Quantropi’s flagship QiSpace™ platform to provide post-quantum cryptographic capabilities for Reticulate’s VAST™ video compression product and VisionOS™ development platform. These platforms serve as a common building block for all Reticulate products and are designed to excel in low-bandwidth environments, delivering high-quality video for reduced network loads. The agreement allows both firms to market their solutions as an integrated offering to defense and commercial customers.
Quantum Science Meets Classical Information Security
Quantropi was founded by quantum physicists with the revolutionary idea of applying quantum science to classical information security. Their QiSpace platform is a drop-in replacement for current encryption solutions and can now be used for a wide array of applications, including video. The firms have already validated QiSpace’s effectiveness with Reticulate’s VAST software and plan to apply the same approach to defeat deep fakes by creating quantum trust in digital hashing.
