Founded in Ottawa in 2018, Quantropi is bound to be the standard for quantum-secure data communications – forever unbreakable, no matter what. Powered by quantum mechanics expressed as linear algebra, our technology encrypts data in transit and data at rest — defending against today’s threats and tomorrow’s quantum-based attacks — without requiring the processing power of a quantum computer.
A 100% Canadian innovator in the Quantum Communication space, Quantropi’s QiSpace™ is the only end-to-end quantum security SaaS platform with all 3 prerequisites for cryptographic integrity – Trust, Uncertainty, and Entropy (TrUE).
The QiSpace™ platform:
MASQ™ is the Trust offering in Quantropi’s TrUE line of cryptographic solutions providing quantum-secure asymmetric encryption, also known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC). MASQ™ can be used for Key Exchange, Digital Signature and Zero Knowledge Proof. It supports NIST PQC finalists, as well as Quantropi’s novel PQC, which offers significantly smaller digital signature sizes by comparison.
QEEP™ is the Uncertainty offering in Quantropi’s TrUE line of cryptographic solutions, providing quantum-secure symmetric encryption that’s up to 18 times faster than AES-256, suitable for enterprise and IoT deployments.
SEQUR™ is the Entropy offering in Quantropi’s TrUE line of cryptographic solutions. This product family provides quantum random number generation and quantum-secure distribution to enable the full security potential of current cryptographic algorithms protecting systems and networks.
