The Quiet Race to Rewire the World's Encryption Before Quantum Computers Break ItJune 17, 2026 8:45 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.As governments set hard deadlines to replace today's encryption and adversaries hoard stolen data for a future quantum payday, a new market is forming around "quantum readiness" — and a Vancouver company just extended it into Southeast Asia.VANCOUVER, BC, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — There is a slow-moving security crisis building beneath the surface of the digital world, and most people have never heard of it. Nearly all of the encryption that protects modern life — banking, medical records, classified government files, private messages, the very certificates that vouch for who is who online — relies on mathematical problems that today's computers cannot solve in any practical timeframe. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could solve them. When that day arrives, the cryptographic locks securing decades of sensitive data could be picked at scale. And the most unsettling part is that the threat is already here in a sense: intelligence agencies and bad actors are widely believed to be capturing encrypted data now, under a doctrine security professionals grimly call "harvest now, decrypt later," betting they can unlock it once the hardware matures.That looming transition — from today's encryption to "post-quantum" cryptography designed to withstand a quantum computer — has quietly become one of the largest forced technology migrations in history. And on June 17, 2026, a Vancouver-based player in that race took a concrete step toward expanding it internationally. Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80), a post-quantum cybersecurity company, announced it had signed a Memorandum of Agreement with a Malaysia-based digital certification authority to develop a Malaysia-specific version of its Quantum Preparedness Assessment platform — a move that plants the company's technology inside a sovereign, regulated Southeast Asian market at the exact moment that region is ramping up its cybersecurity rules.Why Post-Quantum Security Became UrgentFor years, the quantum threat to encryption was treated as a distant, almost theoretical concern — something for cryptographers to worry about, not corporate boards. That has changed decisively. In 2024, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology finalized the first post-quantum cryptography standards after an eight-year global evaluation, giving organizations concrete algorithms to migrate toward. The U.S. National Security Agency's CNSA 2.0 framework now sets hard timelines for national-security systems to become quantum-resilient, with major milestones through 2030 and full migration expected by the middle of the next decade. In early 2026, Google publicly urged governments and industry to "prepare now," and consulting firm Boston Consulting Group warned that organizations waiting until 2030 to begin would already be too late.The reason the deadlines feel so pressing is the sheer scale of the task. Post-quantum migration is not a single software patch; it is the painstaking work of finding and replacing every vulnerable piece of cryptography buried across an organization's systems — software, hardware, digital certificates, encryption keys, and communication protocols, often numbering in the thousands. Most organizations have not started, not out of ignorance, but because the tooling to plan and manage such a migration has been largely absent. The standards exist and the deadlines are set, but the logistics have lagged — and that gap between knowing you must move and being able to actually do it is precisely the opening a new class of companies is racing to fill.What QSE Just Announced — and Why Malaysia MattersQSE's flagship offering, the Quantum Preparedness Assessment, or QPA, is built squarely for that gap. The platform is designed to give organizations a practical view of their cybersecurity and cryptographic readiness — helping them assess exposure, prioritize remediation, and build a clear roadmap toward resilience, rather than staring at an overwhelming and abstract problem. Under the new Memorandum of Agreement, QSE and its Malaysian partner intend to develop a localized version of QPA tailored to Malaysia's Cyber Security Act 2024, known as Act 854, which imposes obligations on organizations designated as National Critical Information Infrastructure.The localized platform is intended to help those Malaysian organizations assess their readiness under Act 854 — identifying compliance gaps, documenting risk assessments, tracking corrective actions, managing audit evidence, and maintaining cybersecurity governance records. Crucially, the partners intend to host the solution within Malaysian sovereign infrastructure, with data residency in Malaysia and deployment on-premises in the partner's local data centre. That sovereign-hosting model is not a technical footnote; for public-sector and regulated customers, the requirement that sensitive data stay within national borders is often the deciding factor in whether a foreign technology vendor can win business at all."Act 854 creates a clear need for Malaysian organizations to understand their cybersecurity posture, document their risks and show progress against compliance requirements," said Ted Carefoot, Chief Executive Officer of QSE. He framed the deal as part of a deliberate "partner-led growth strategy" — placing QSE's technology "inside trusted regional ecosystems where customers already look for identity, security and certification support." By embedding QPA within an established digital certification authority rather than trying to sell into a foreign market cold, QSE is attempting to reach Malaysian enterprises, government-linked organizations, and regulated sectors through a partner they already trust. The company framed the agreement as a foothold for broader expansion across Southeast Asia, where governments and enterprises are increasing investment in cybersecurity readiness and post-quantum planning.A Market Measured in the Hundreds of BillionsThe opportunity behind that strategy is enormous. The global cybersecurity market already runs into the hundreds of billions of dollars annually, and post-quantum security is widely projected to be one of its fastest-growing segments as the migration deadlines approach and compliance pressure mounts. Every government that sets a quantum-readiness mandate, every regulated industry that must document its cryptographic posture, and every enterprise sitting on data that must stay confidential for years to come represents potential demand for assessment, planning, and migration tools. The forced, deadline-driven nature of the shift is what makes it so commercially compelling: this is not optional spending that evaporates in a downturn, but a regulatory and security imperative with fixed timelines attached.It is a landscape that has drawn in players of every size, from nimble pure-play specialists to the largest names in enterprise security. Looking at a few of the public companies operating across the post-quantum and broader cybersecurity space helps frame both the scale of the opportunity QSE is chasing and the formidable company — and competition — it keeps.Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ) is among the closest pure-play comparisons. The company offers quantum-safe encryption technology, including a cloud-based platform for quantum-secure key exchange, and has pursued a string of collaborations across telecommunications and confidential computing aimed at helping organizations migrate to quantum-resistant security. As a focused quantum-encryption specialist, Arqit illustrates both the promise and the volatility of the emerging pure-play segment that QSE also occupies — small companies betting that purpose-built quantum-security technology will command a growing share of enterprise spending.SEALSQ Corp. (NASDAQ: LAES) represents the hardware layer of the same build-out. The company develops post-quantum semiconductors and secure-chip technology designed to embed quantum-resistant security directly into devices and hardware. SEALSQ underscores that the post-quantum transition is not only a software-and-assessment challenge but a silicon one — and that the migration spans the entire technology stack, from the chips in connected devices up through the enterprise software that QSE's QPA platform addresses.Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW) anchors the group as one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies, with annual revenue exceeding $9 billion. The company has been actively folding post-quantum readiness into the platforms enterprises already rely on — even convening a quantum-safe summit bringing together leading cryptography experts — illustrating how the security giants are validating the post-quantum category from the top down. Palo Alto's scale and platform reach are a world apart from a micro-cap like QSE, but its embrace of the theme is powerful confirmation that quantum readiness is moving into the enterprise mainstream.CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) rounds out the group as one of the most prominent names in modern cybersecurity, known for its cloud-native security platform and broad enterprise footprint. While not a pure post-quantum play, CrowdStrike exemplifies the scale, recurring-revenue model, and customer trust that define a category leader in security software — the kind of established franchise that the entire sector, QSE included, ultimately competes alongside and aspires toward. These companies are referenced to illustrate the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they differ enormously in size, stage, and business model, and QSE is a micro-cap, early-commercialization company.The Risks Behind the PromiseFor all the strategic logic, the risks are substantial and deserve emphasis. The agreement QSE announced is a Memorandum of Agreement — a framework to develop a localized platform, not a signed, revenue-generating commercial contract. Such arrangements are an important early step, but they do not guarantee that a finished product will be deployed, that customers will adopt it, or that material revenue will follow. The localized QPA platform still has to be built, hosted, and sold into the Malaysian market, and the timeline and ultimate commercial outcome remain uncertain.More broadly, QSE is a micro-cap company in the early stages of commercializing its technology, competing in a field that includes vastly larger and better-capitalized players, as well as nimble specialists. The post-quantum migration wave is real, but its timing is uncertain, adoption cycles in government and regulated industries are long, and a small company depends on continued access to capital to fund its growth. The very deadlines that create the opportunity — 2030, the mid-2030s — also mean that meaningful enterprise spending may arrive more gradually than the urgency suggests. Investors should weigh the genuine strength of the thesis against the real execution, adoption, and financing risks that face any early-stage technology company.Why the Trajectory Still MattersStep back, however, and the direction of travel is unmistakable. The world's encryption must be rebuilt to survive the quantum era, governments have written that mandate into law with hard deadlines, and the data being harvested today gives the threat a ticking-clock quality that few other technology shifts possess. The migration is not a question of if but of when and how — and the companies that can help organizations navigate it, especially in regulated and sovereign-sensitive markets, are positioning themselves at the center of a durable, policy-driven wave of demand. QSE's move into Malaysia, through a trusted local certification partner and a sovereign-hosting model, is a small but telling example of how that demand is beginning to materialize market by market.Whether QSE can convert its technology, partnerships, and early agreements into durable commercial scale remains to be proven, and the path for any micro-cap in a giant-dominated field is steep. But the question the company is built around — how the world rewires its most fundamental digital defenses before quantum computers render them obsolete — is among the most consequential in technology. For investors tracking where cybersecurity is headed over the coming decade, the quiet race to achieve quantum readiness, and the companies extending it across borders, is a story worth following closely.CONTINUED … Learn more about Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/qse-landingSEE WHAT THE MARKET IS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE IT MOVESEagle Eye reads social, forum, and news chatter across thousands of investor conversations in real time — and surfaces the tickers the crowd is piling into, along with the sentiment and catalysts behind them.Explore Eagle Eye free (for now) at https://Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:USA News Group

As Washington Pours Billions Into Quantum Computing, One Company Says the Real Race Is Defending the DataJune 4, 2026 12:07 PM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80)
A wave of U.S. government investment is accelerating quantum computing — and with it, the urgency for organizations to protect data that must stay confidential for years or decades to come.NEW YORK, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – There is a quiet contradiction running through the most exciting technology story of the decade. The same breakthroughs that make quantum computing so promising — the ability to solve problems that would stall the most powerful classical machines — also threaten to unravel the encryption that protects nearly every sensitive digital record in existence. As governments rush to fund the race for quantum capability, a smaller field of companies — among them Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) — is making a pointed argument: the more powerful these machines become, the more urgent it is to defend the data they could one day break. That argument moved into sharper focus in late May, when Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) — a post-quantum cybersecurity company focused on quantum-resilient data protection, identity security, secure storage and cryptographic migration readiness — weighed in on a major signal from Washington. The company commented on reports that the U.S. Department of Commerce had entered into nine letters of intent to provide approximately US$2 billion to support the U.S. quantum computing sector, an investment QSE framed as evidence that quantum has crossed from research curiosity into national technology strategy."Government investment at this scale sends a clear message: quantum computing is moving from research into national technology strategy," said Ted Carefoot, Chief Executive Officer of QSE. "That progress is exciting, but it also accelerates the need for organizations to understand and address their post-quantum cybersecurity exposure. Sensitive data encrypted today may need to remain confidential for years or decades, which is why preparation cannot wait."The "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" Problem
Carefoot's point about data that must remain confidential for years or decades gets at the heart of why post-quantum security is not a problem organizations can comfortably defer. Encrypted information that is intercepted today can be stored cheaply and indefinitely, waiting for the day a sufficiently capable quantum computer can unlock it. For records with long shelf lives — government files, financial data, healthcare records, critical-infrastructure systems and other long-lived sensitive information — the threat is not theoretical to the institutions responsible for protecting them. The clock on confidentiality starts the moment the data is created, not the moment quantum machines mature.It is against that backdrop that the U.S. funding commitment reads as something more than an industrial-policy headline. Each dollar accelerating quantum capability is, in QSE's framing, also a dollar shortening the runway organizations have to get their cryptographic houses in order. The company has argued that quantum investment and post-quantum readiness are, in Carefoot's words, "two sides of the same transformation" — and that as governments accelerate one, enterprises must accelerate the other.From Awareness to Action
What sets QSE's recent messaging apart from the broader chorus of quantum commentary is that the company says it has already moved past the product-development stage and into commercial deployment. In a corporate update earlier in May, QSE described itself as operating a fully built, commercially available post-quantum cybersecurity platform — one designed to help organizations move, as the company puts it, from awareness to action.The update carried specifics that are unusual for a company at this stage of a frontier market. QSE said it is generating revenue, currently serves 262 customer accounts, and is seeing growing pipeline activity across enterprise, government and regulated-industry channels. The company characterized this as a shift into a commercial scaling phase, following a period of product development, platform integration, certification milestones and strategic partner expansion."QSE is now operating from a position of commercial strength," Carefoot said in that update. "Our product suite is fully built, our technology is in market, and our focus has shifted decisively toward scaling revenue, expanding customer relationships and converting a growing pipeline of enterprise and government opportunities. We believe the combination of regulatory urgency, market readiness and QSE's differentiated platform creates a significant growth opportunity for the Company in 2026 and beyond."The platform itself is organized around three plain-language functions. The first, Assess, helps organizations understand where their data and encryption may be vulnerable to future quantum threats. The second, Protect, secures sensitive data using quantum-resilient encryption, secure storage and deployment tools designed to work alongside existing systems. The third, Control Access, governs who can reach sensitive systems and data through quantum-secure login and identity tools. Taken together, QSE says, those functions support customers across the full post-quantum security lifecycle — from initial assessment and planning through deployment, identity protection, secure storage and ongoing security infrastructure.Crucially, the company emphasizes that its approach is designed to strengthen existing security infrastructure without requiring a disruptive rip-and-replace process. For large institutions with sprawling legacy systems, the prospect of swapping out cryptography wholesale is daunting enough to encourage paralysis; QSE's pitch is that quantum resilience can be layered onto what organizations already run, lowering the barrier to getting started.A Multi-Stream Commercial Model
Behind the three-function framework is a revenue model built to capture demand in more than one way. QSE has said its commercial model is generating recurring SaaS revenue while continuing to scale enterprise deployments, usage-based entropy and secure storage services, and on-premises hardware deployments for customers that require greater data autonomy and internal key control. That last category matters in sectors where institutions are unwilling — or, for regulatory reasons, unable — to hand control of their most sensitive keys to an outside cloud.The company is also pursuing a partner-led expansion strategy, working through value-added distributors, resellers, system integrators and regional partners with established access to enterprise, government and regulated-industry customers. Management has said it believes this channel approach can accelerate market penetration, expand geographic reach and help convert pipeline opportunities into long-term customer relationships — a route that lets a relatively young company extend its reach without building out a massive direct sales force first.Deepening the Bench
Scaling a frontier-technology company is as much about people as product, and QSE moved on that front in late May with the appointment of Michael Massing as Chief Technology Officer, effective June 1, 2026. Massing brings more than 30 years of experience across cybersecurity, cryptography, secure data management, artificial intelligence, blockchain, network architecture and advanced computing systems — a breadth that maps closely onto the technical demands of a post-quantum platform.His résumé reads like a tour through the modern security industry. Massing previously served as CTO and VP of Engineering at TokenX Labs and LifeSite Inc., where he led the development of zero-knowledge authentication and secure digital asset management systems. He also served as Executive Director of Engineering at Dell SonicWall, where he managed the Unified Threat Management business unit and helped scale enterprise cybersecurity product lines to approximately US$400 million in annual sales. Earlier, he founded SecureCom Networks, later acquired by SonicWall, and Mass Technology Inc., providing technical solutions to organizations including Cisco, Sophos and NASA — with work on advanced computing systems and real-time operating systems supporting NASA's SETI initiatives. He holds eight issued patents in cryptography, networking and cybersecurity, and earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University."Michael's appointment is an important step in QSE's next phase of growth," Carefoot said. "He brings deep cryptography expertise, enterprise cybersecurity experience and a proven record of building technologies that can scale into large commercial markets. As demand for post-quantum security accelerates, his leadership will be valuable as we continue expanding our platform, supporting customer deployments and pursuing larger commercial opportunities."The appointment comes as QSE continues expanding its enterprise post-quantum security platform, including its QPA migration readiness system, qREK entropy infrastructure, QAuth identity platform, and decentralized encrypted storage architecture — the named building blocks that sit beneath the Assess, Protect and Control Access functions the company markets to customers.A Crowded, Fast-Moving Field
QSE is not alone in racing to meet the post-quantum moment, and the breadth of the field underscores how seriously markets are taking the threat. On the cryptography-hardware side, SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) builds quantum-resistant semiconductors and public-key-infrastructure trust services, positioning itself as a pure-play in quantum-safe chips for connected-device, identity and IoT markets. On the software side, Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ) has pioneered a symmetric-key agreement platform designed to keep networked devices and data at rest secure against both conventional and quantum-enabled attacks, and has been expanding into telecom and enterprise channels through partnerships.The urgency these security firms describe is, of course, driven by the progress of the quantum-computing builders themselves. IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) remains the bellwether among publicly traded quantum-hardware companies, developing trapped-ion processors and quantum-networking systems — the very class of machines whose maturation defines the timeline security vendors are racing against. And at the enterprise level, established cybersecurity giants such as Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW) frame quantum readiness as an emerging extension of the broader security mandate they already serve, a signal that post-quantum protection is migrating from niche concern toward mainstream enterprise requirement.Within that landscape, QSE's pitch is one of practicality and timing: a fully built platform, already in market, that layers quantum resilience onto existing systems. Readers can review the company's positioning in more detail on its USA News Group profile page.Why It Matters Now
QSE's read on its own market is that post-quantum cybersecurity is quickly becoming a board-level, compliance-level and national-security priority. The company points to a convergence of forces — regulatory pressure, cryptographic migration requirements and enterprise demand — that it believes positions it to capitalize on the accelerating global transition toward post-quantum security infrastructure. Governments, regulators and large enterprises, the company argues, are no longer treating post-quantum security as a future consideration; they are beginning to demand concrete action, including cryptographic inventories, preparedness assessments, migration roadmaps and the implementation of quantum-resilient controls."Post-quantum cybersecurity is quickly becoming a board-level, compliance-level and national-security priority," Carefoot said. "With a solid client-base and revenue generation established, a fully built platform in market and a growing pipeline of enterprise and government opportunities, QSE is now focused on scaling aggressively across the sectors where quantum-resilient security is becoming mission-critical."The story Washington is telling with its US$2 billion in letters of intent is, on its surface, a story about building quantum machines. QSE's contribution to the conversation is to flip the lens: every advance toward that capability is also a countdown for the data that quantum could one day expose. Whether the company's 262 customer accounts and multi-stream model prove to be an early foothold in a vast market or simply an early chapter, its central premise is hard to dismiss — that in the quantum era, building the machine and defending against it are not separate races, but the same one.TRACK THE TREND WITH EAGLE EYE:

AI-Enabled Cyberespionage Is a National Security Threat. Integrated Cyber Solutions Has an AnswerMay 26, 2026 10:06 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc.As Chinese state-sponsored actors weaponize frontier AI against U.S. enterprises and Washington reframes data exposure as a national security problem, Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. (dba Integrated Quantum Technologies) has published an updated white paper reporting 95%+ compression of sensitive data — removing it from the AI attack surface entirely while maintaining model performance across healthcare, financial services and enterprise-scale environments.NEW YORK, May 26, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary — In November 2025, Anthropic disclosed that Chinese state-sponsored actors had used its Claude model to run a largely automated cyberespionage campaign across roughly thirty targets, with the AI performing 80 to 90 percent of the operational work. [9] Five months later, in April 2026, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a memo warning that foreign entities, primarily based in China, are conducting industrial-scale campaigns against U.S. frontier AI systems. [10] On May 18, 2026, the Council on Foreign Relations published an assessment titled "The Security Foundations Beneath America's AI Ambitions Are Cracking." [11] In the span of six months, enterprise data exposure to AI systems has stopped being a corporate IT problem and started being a national security problem. That reframing matters at the boardroom level, because every enterprise running a serious AI program eventually runs into the same wall. The data that would make their models genuinely useful — patient records, transaction history, claims data, internal financial filings, regulated images — is also the data their legal and security teams will not let near a model pipeline. So they ship synthetic substitutes, or they aggressively anonymize, or they encrypt and pay the latency cost, or they just narrow the project until the data risk goes away. Whichever path they pick, the model that ships at the end is a weaker version of what was actually possible. And in a threat environment where state-sponsored actors are now using AI itself to harvest that data, the cost of leaving it exposed has gone up sharply.Stay ahead of the AI security and post-quantum stories investors are watching. Sign up for the Equity Insider newsletter for ongoing coverage.That is the bottleneck. And it is the bottleneck that a Canadian-listed company called Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. (CSE: ICS | OTCQB: IGCRF | FSE: Y4G), which now operates publicly as Integrated Quantum Technologies ("Integrated Quantum," "IQT," or the "Company"), has been quietly working to dissolve.On May 26, 2026, the Company released an expanded version of its white paper on VEIL™, its commercial product for privacy-preserving machine learning.

Samuelson, EVP, Artificial Intelligence & Innovation, is titled "Informationally Compressive Anonymization: Non-Degrading Sensitive Input Protection for Privacy-Preserving Supervised Machine Learning," and is available here. The title alone is the thesis: the central claim of the work is that an enterprise can compress sensitive inputs by between approximately 95% and 99.96%, demonstrate resilience against reconstruction and attribute inference attacks under the testing conditions described, and at the same time match — or in some cases beat — the predictive performance of a model trained on the raw data. [1]If that holds up under real-world deployment, it is a meaningful claim. Privacy-preserving ML has historically been a graveyard of "almost" solutions. Differential privacy degrades accuracy by injecting noise. Homomorphic encryption multiplies computational cost. Federated learning still leaks gradients under the right attack. In each case, the engineer running the project has had to decide which tax to pay: the accuracy tax, the compute tax, or the security tax. The pitch in the Samuelson paper is that VEIL™ materially narrows that trilemma by removing sensitive information before it ever enters the ML pipeline, rather than trying to protect it once it gets there.What the Paper Actually ShowsThe updated paper is not a marketing one-pager. It evaluates VEIL™ across multiple supervised machine learning tasks and datasets, in image recognition, financial services, healthcare, regression modeling and large-scale enterprise data environments. The benchmark and enterprise datasets it tests include MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, Ames Housing, YearPredictionMSD, Home Credit Default Risk, Default of Credit Card Clients, CBIS-DDSM medical imaging data and the E2006 financial filings dataset. [1] That is a deliberately wide net — toy benchmarks alongside enterprise-grade data — because the company is making a generalizability argument, not a single-benchmark argument.The two headline numbers are worth restating. Reported compression levels across the evaluated datasets and machine learning tasks ranged from approximately 95% to 99.96%, depending on the dataset, dimensionality and model architecture utilized. [1] And in each evaluation, VEIL™ maintained predictive utility comparable to and/or exceeding baseline raw-data model performance. [1] The combination matters. Either one in isolation would be unremarkable: compression without utility is just lossy data, and utility without compression is just regular ML on regular data. The claim is that you get both.The paper also benchmarks VEIL™ directly against the two privacy-preserving approaches most often discussed in enterprise procurement conversations: Differential Privacy and Homomorphic Encryption. Both are associated with predictive performance trade-offs in addition to computational overhead, privacy-budget management requirements and ciphertext expansion characteristics under certain implementations and testing conditions. [1] Under the evaluated testing conditions described in the paper, VEIL™ outperformed Differential Privacy across the reported attack simulations — simulations that include reconstruction attacks and attribute inference analyses intended to assess resilience under various threat scenarios and attacker assumptions. [1]The Company is careful, to its credit, about overclaiming. The paper notes that in certain enterprise deployment scenarios involving vulnerabilities elsewhere in a system environment — leaked sensitive indices, external data correlation — VEIL™ may still permit limited sensitive information leakage under specific adversarial conditions. [1] That is the honest version of the claim. The findings, performance observations and comparative analyses contained in the paper are based on internal research, simulations, validation studies, datasets, configurations and assumptions utilized by the Company and the paper's author; results may not be indicative of performance in all commercial deployments. [1]An external endorsement also accompanies the release. Dr. Mohammad Tayebi, Assistant Professor in the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, who was referenced in the Company's original white paper announcement, supports and endorses the updated paper. The Company has disclosed that Dr. Tayebi has no affiliation with Integrated Quantum and has received no compensation from the Company in connection with the endorsement, the white paper or the underlying research. [1]Why the Compression Number Matters Beyond PrivacyThere is a second story tucked inside the headline. The Company believes that the ability to materially reduce dataset size while preserving model utility may have broader implications for enterprise AI infrastructure efficiency, including potential reductions in storage, transfer and computational requirements associated with certain machine learning workflows. [1]Put plainly: if an enterprise can shrink the information footprint of its sensitive training data by 95%-plus and still get the same model performance, the downstream implications for compute and storage envelopes may be material. The Company itself frames this as "potential reductions in storage, transfer and computational requirements associated with certain machine learning workflows." [1] The privacy benefit is the on-ramp, but the infrastructure-cost benefit is what could keep VEIL™ on a finance team's radar after the security team is already convinced. Enterprise AI has become a budget line item large enough that even modest reductions in compute and storage translate into meaningful savings.Samuelson framed it this way: "Our research continues to support the view that informational compression and architectural isolation may provide a viable framework for privacy-preserving machine learning without requiring the substantial computational overhead commonly associated with certain existing approaches. We also believe the compression characteristics demonstrated in the paper could have meaningful implications for enterprise AI efficiency and infrastructure optimization in certain deployment scenarios." [1]The Public-Market Read-Across: A Sector Repricing in Real TimeThe capital markets have not been subtle about what they think of companies positioned at the intersection of AI security and enterprise data protection. Four public names — each operating at a different layer of the same broad stack — give a sense of how investors are paying for this thesis right now.Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW) is the index name for the AI-era cybersecurity narrative. The shares touched an intraday record of approximately US$252.22 on May 21, 2026, putting the stock at a fresh all-time high heading into its fiscal third-quarter 2026 results, scheduled for release after market close on June 2, 2026. [2] The same day the record was set, Palo Alto published a blog post announcing an integration between its Cortex Cloud Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform and Anthropic's Claude Compliance API, designed to give enterprises programmatic visibility into how sensitive data is being used inside Claude Enterprise — covering prompt content, uploaded files, generated outputs and behavioral activity — and to detect prompt injection attempts, sensitive data exposure and anomalous behavior in real time. [3] That is adjacent to the problem space VEIL™ is operating in: Palo Alto's integration governs what users can do with sensitive data once they sit down at an AI chat interface, while VEIL™ changes what sensitive data actually enters the ML pipeline in the first place.Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ) is the closest pure-play read-across to the post-quantum side of the Integrated Quantum thesis. The Company's own framing describes its mission as building "privacy-preserving and post-quantum enterprise AI infrastructure technologies" — a two-pronged thesis. [1] Arqit represents the second prong as a pure-play. On May 21, 2026, Arqit reported financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026, with revenue of US$623,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to US$67,000 in the comparable period the prior year. [4] Revenue was generated from eleven contracts in the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to seven contracts for all of fiscal year 2025, with eight of the eleven contracts coming from government, defence and enterprise organizations and three from telecom network operators. [4] The Company ended the period with cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$28.9 million as of March 31, 2026, rising to approximately US$35.9 million as of May 20, 2026. [4] Arqit's commercial focus is quantum-safe symmetric key agreement encryption — a different technical primitive than what VEIL™ does — but it is operating within the same broader enterprise-readiness thesis: large institutions preparing for a post-quantum world, and willing to pay for the infrastructure to get there.SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a subsidiary of WISeKey International Holding (NASDAQ: WKEY), has had one of the more visible run-ups in the post-quantum cohort. On May 20, 2026, SEALSQ and parent WISeKey launched the WISeRobot.ch platform, integrating post-quantum semiconductors into a human-centric AI robotics roadmap targeting government, healthcare and smart-infrastructure verticals. [6] Shares traded up roughly 15% intraday the following day, May 21, 2026, on heavy volume. [5] The WISeRobot launch sits on top of a broader build-out at SEALSQ: a recent patent filing for a technique that protects polynomial-based post-quantum cryptography from side-channel attacks during the message-encoding stage, the sampling phase of the QS7001 Quantum Shield secure microcontroller (which embeds NIST-approved ML-KEM/Kyber and ML-DSA/Dilithium algorithms in silicon), and a commercial pipeline that management now describes as exceeding US$200 million for the 2026–2029 period — with more than US$60 million specifically tied to the QS7001 and QVault TPM post-quantum chips. [5] The signal SEALSQ is sending — that enterprises and governments are now making real procurement decisions assuming a post-quantum world is real — is adjacent to the signal embedded in the VEIL™ paper: both companies sit inside Integrated Quantum's self-described "privacy-preserving and post-quantum enterprise AI infrastructure" theme, just at different layers of the stack.SentinelOne, Inc. (NYSE: S) represents the AI-securing-everything-else variation of the same theme. On April 30, 2026, the Company launched its Wayfinder Frontier AI Services offering, a proactive exposure-management service that pairs frontier AI models — including Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 — with the Company's offensive and defensive security experts to map exploitation chains and prioritize remediations across a customer's full attack surface. [7] One week earlier, on April 22, 2026 at Google NEXT, SentinelOne was named a 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year for Security: Google Threat Intelligence. [8] SentinelOne is using frontier AI to defend enterprise infrastructure end-to-end — and notably, like Palo Alto Networks' Cortex Cloud integration with the Claude Compliance API, SentinelOne's flagship Wayfinder service is built on top of Anthropic's Claude. VEIL™ is operating one floor lower, at the data layer that feeds those AI systems in the first place. The three are addressing different sections of the same enterprise security perimeter.Put together, the four names sketch the perimeter of where institutional capital is currently betting that the next decade of enterprise AI security spend gets allocated. Palo Alto is the platform incumbent. Arqit and SEALSQ are the post-quantum specialists. SentinelOne is the AI-native security operator. What none of them is doing — and what the VEIL™ paper argues Integrated Cyber Solutions is doing — is reaching all the way back to the data itself, before it ever reaches a model, and changing what is actually fed in. That is a structurally different point of intervention in the pipeline.Read the full Integrated Cyber Solutions profile, the VEIL™ white paper, and ongoing coverage at usanewsgroup.com/ics-landing/.The Bottom LineEnterprise AI has been operating with a private understanding that the projects that ship are the ones where the data was already either non-sensitive or already de-risked through synthetic substitutes. Anything involving real patient records, real financial filings, real customer transaction histories — the data that would make the model meaningfully more accurate — has tended to die quietly in compliance review.The updated white paper out of Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. is a credible argument that the architectural assumption underneath that compromise can be revisited. Reported 95% to 99.96% compression. Predictive utility maintained or exceeded versus raw-data baselines. Outperformance against Differential Privacy in the reported attack simulations. Endorsed by an independent academic. And, critically, framed by the Company with appropriate caveats about real-world deployment variability. [1]If the architecture holds up in commercial deployments, the same enterprises that have been routing around their best data for years will have to revisit the assumption. That is a large prize.

Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. announces official launch of QPA v2, its enterprise post-quantum cryptographic migration platformApril 6, 2026 11:53 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.FlyOnWallStreet.com News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology finalized the first three post-quantum cryptography standards — FIPS 203, 204, and 205 — after an eight-year global evaluation process. In January 2027, the NSA's CNSA 2.0 framework requires all new national security systems to implement quantum-safe algorithms. By 2030, all custom and legacy applications must be migrated. By 2035, the entire cryptographic infrastructure of every system touching national security must be quantum-resilient. No exceptions.This is not a theoretical risk exercise. Intelligence agencies in multiple countries are already exfiltrating encrypted data at scale under the "harvest now, decrypt later" doctrine — capturing encrypted communications, classified files, financial records, and healthcare data today, banking on quantum computing capability to decrypt it within a decade. Google's Willow quantum processor, unveiled in late 2024, demonstrated error correction capabilities many physicists considered a decade away. In February 2026, Google publicly called on governments and industry to "prepare now" for quantum-era cybersecurity. The Boston Consulting Group's 2025 assessment was blunt: starting migration in 2030 will already be too late.And yet, most organizations haven't started. The reason is not ignorance. It's infrastructure. The NIST standards exist. The regulatory deadlines are set. But the enterprise tooling to actually plan, assess, and execute a post-quantum migration across thousands of cryptographic dependencies — software, hardware, certificates, keys, protocols — has been largely absent. It's the difference between knowing you need to move and having the logistics to actually do it.That gap just closed. Companies actively developing post-quantum security solutions include QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE | OTCQB: QSEGF | FSE: VN8), CrowdStrike Holdings (Nasdaq: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (Nasdaq: PANW), and Arqit Quantum (Nasdaq: ARQQ).The Migration Platform That Didn't Exist — Until NowQSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE | OTCQB: QSEGF | FSE: VN8) announced the official launch of QPA v2, its enterprise post-quantum cryptographic migration platform, on March 31, 2026. QPA v2 transforms what has traditionally been a fragmented, manual process — assessing cryptographic posture across complex enterprise environments — into a structured, data-driven workflow with real-time visibility into quantum readiness, risk levels, and migration progress.The platform introduces a PQC Planning Wizard supporting governance design, budgeting, timelines, and migration strategy development. AI-enhanced assessment modules evaluate cryptographic posture and compliance readiness. Integrated inventory analysis covers software, hardware, and cryptographic components, identifying risk exposure across complex environments. A centralized executive dashboard provides real-time visibility into quantum readiness. And integrated reporting tools support governance, audit, and internal decision-making."Organizations are now moving from understanding quantum risk to actively planning for it," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "QPA v2 is designed to support that transition by providing a structured, repeatable framework that enables enterprises and public-sector organizations to assess their current state, prioritize risk, and plan their migration toward post-quantum cryptographic standards."QPA v2 integrates with QSE's broader security ecosystem — including qREK quantum-resilient key infrastructure, QAuth identity and authentication platform, and decentralized encrypted storage solutions — supporting a full-stack approach to long-term cryptographic resilience. The platform is already live and being utilized by both existing and prospective clients.This is what separates QSE from the dozens of companies talking about post-quantum security. QSE is not building a single algorithm or a point solution. It is building the enterprise migration infrastructure — the planning layer, the assessment layer, the inventory layer, and the execution layer — that organizations need to actually move from vulnerable to quantum-resilient. And it's already in production.CONTINUED… Read this and more on QSE at: FlyOnWallStreet.comThe Cybersecurity Giants Are Scrambling to Catch UpCrowdStrike Holdings (Nasdaq: CRWD) — CrowdStrike is the dominant force in endpoint detection and response, with approximately $4 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue and a market capitalization exceeding $100 billion. The company's Falcon platform protects endpoints, cloud workloads, and identity infrastructure for organizations worldwide. But CrowdStrike's core competency is detecting and responding to threats — not migrating the underlying cryptographic infrastructure that those threats will eventually exploit. As quantum computing compresses the timeline for breaking RSA and ECC encryption, the companies providing migration tooling — not just threat detection — will command the next wave of enterprise security spending.Palo Alto Networks (Nasdaq: PANW) — Palo Alto Networks reported fiscal year 2025 revenue exceeding $9 billion and has begun integrating post-quantum cryptography capabilities into its security platforms. The company's $25 billion acquisition of CyberArk in 2025 brought identity security into its platform, and Palo Alto is positioning itself as the enterprise consolidation platform for cybersecurity. But PQC migration — the process of inventorying, assessing, planning, and executing the replacement of every quantum-vulnerable cryptographic component across an enterprise — requires purpose-built tooling that no general cybersecurity platform currently provides. That is exactly the gap QSE's QPA v2 fills.Arqit Quantum (Nasdaq: ARQQ) — Arqit is a quantum encryption company offering QuantumCloud, a SaaS-based quantum-safe key exchange platform. The company represents the emerging class of pure-play quantum security firms addressing the post-quantum transition. While Arqit focuses on key distribution and exchange, QSE's approach is broader — encompassing the entire migration lifecycle from assessment through execution, with an integrated ecosystem spanning key infrastructure, identity, authentication, and encrypted storage.The NIST standards are finalized. The NSA deadlines are set. The "harvest now, decrypt later" threat is active. Google is calling for urgent preparation. And most organizations haven't started because the migration tooling didn't exist. QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE | OTCQB: QSEGF | FSE: VN8) just launched QPA v2 — the enterprise post-quantum migration platform designed to close that gap. The standards are here. The deadlines are real. The platform is live. The migration starts now.For more information on QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.

Quantum Threats Are Real. These Companies Are Building the FixMarch 6, 2026 11:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (QSE)USA News Group News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A quantum-enabled cyberattack on a single major U.S. bank could trigger between $2.0 trillion and $3.3 trillion in cascading economic damage, according to a recent report from the Citi Institute[1]. That vulnerability is accelerating a global security overhaul, with global information security spending projected to reach $244.2 billion in 2026 as post-quantum cryptography emerges among the top forces reshaping enterprise defense[2]. Companies at the forefront of this transition include QSE Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8), Arqit Quantum (NASDAQ: ARQQ), IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT), and D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS).  IDC predicts that 40% of G2000 organizations will engage cybersecurity firms to conduct quantum risk assessments by 2027, driven by looming NIST deprecation deadlines for RSA and ECC encryption[3]. Already, 97% of enterprises plan to allocate cybersecurity budget to post-quantum cryptography over the next 24 months, reflecting urgency that extends well beyond research labs[4].QSE Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8) is building the security layer that enterprises and governments will need when quantum computers render today's encryption obsolete. The Vancouver-based company specializes in post-quantum cryptography, delivering a modular platform built on proprietary quantum-delivered entropy and zero-knowledge architecture designed to protect sensitive data from both current cyber threats and future quantum-enabled attacks.The platform covers multiple layers of the post-quantum security stack. QSE's Quantum Preparedness Assessment (QPA) gives organizations a structured migration methodology for identifying cryptographic exposure and planning remediation at the executive level. QAuth delivers entropy-enabled single sign-on that embeds quantum-resistant key generation directly into identity workflows. The qREK SDK lets developers integrate quantum-resilient encryption into any application, while QSE-Chat offers fully quantum-secure messaging for enterprise and government clients on both iOS and Android."Our objective is to give enterprises clarity," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "Post-quantum transition requires structured planning. Our methodology provides measurable indicators and visibility to help organizations understand where they stand and how to prioritize next steps."That clarity is translating into commercial traction across four continents. QSE recently renewed its enterprise agreement with The Muthoot Group, one of India's largest financial services organizations, covering approximately 14,000 user licenses. The company also entered South America with a three-year security deal supporting three Brazilian government end-clients for approximately 4,500 user licenses. International distribution extends through a partnership with NUSA Networks and Porta Nusa in Indonesia and a distributor agreement with Enzo Plus spanning 300 channel partners in Southeast Asia.On the defence front, QSE joined the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) and participated at the World Defense Show 2026 in Saudi Arabia as part of the official Canadian Delegation. The company holds a CyberSecure Canada Level 2 Certification and recently joined the Municipal Information Systems Association (MISA) as a National Partner, positioning across municipal, federal, and allied defence channels as post-quantum migration timelines compress worldwide.CONTINUED...

Arqit: Lots of Major Developments in 2024

Arqit's participation in the quantum space is unique: the firm provides a cloud-based quantum encryption subscription service to protect high-security data transmission. Shares are up more than 124% in the year leading to December 19, 2024.

Price Target
$27.00

Arqit's year was incredibly busy. The firm reported modest revenue of under $300,000 for the 2024 fiscal year, which ended September 30. However, it appears poised to grow revenue significantly, given that the company recently finalized a multi-year contract with an unnamed government in the EMEA region. It is expected to generate annual recurring revenue in the seven-figure range.

The company has introduced cost-cutting measures to help it reduce the impact on its modest cash position of under $19 million as of the fourth-quarter earnings report. On top of that, the company completed a 25-for-1 reverse share split in September, the same month in which it appointed a new CEO. With all of this upheaval at the company, investors will likely watch for signs of stability going into the new year.

Arqit's technology appears to be taking off, and interest in contracts is growing. However, the firm still spends cash at a fast rate and has so far failed to establish recurring top- and bottom-line performance sufficient to sustain operations at this pace for the long haul. Investors with a long horizon and a high tolerance for speculative investments, however, may be rewarded for an early interest in this quantum cloud computing company.

ARQQ, new 52 week high catching up with IONQ

LONDON, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ, ARQQW) (“Arqit” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum safe encryption, today announced its operational and financial results for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2024.

Operational Highlights for fiscal year 2024

Arqit reported revenue of $293,000 for the fiscal year. The company executed on contracts during the period for 13 customers. Most contracts were limited licenses for demonstration and integration testing of Arqit’s symmetric key agreement software. Arqit saw an increase in the number of customers executing such contracts through the period. The company believes this is a positive indicator of product momentum.

As previously announced, Arqit was awarded a multi-year enterprise license contract in the EMEA region for a government end user that is expected to result in seven figures in annual recurring revenue in total. Prior to the end of the 2024 fiscal year, the contract was finalized. Revenue generation is expected to commence in the current fiscal period.

Previously, Sparkle, a top global telecommunications service operator, announced it completed demonstrations of a fully automated implementation of an on-demand MEF Internet Access Service secured by post-quantum cryptography It is the second Network-as-a-Service (“Naas”) quantum safe internet use case completed by Sparkle. Its first use case was an Arqit secured international VPN between Italy and Germany. Sparkle’s stated roll out this year of its quantum safe NaaS offerings continues apace supported by Arqit. Take up of Sparkle’s NaaS offerings by end customers requires licenses for Arqit’s SKA software which would result in revenue to Arqit.

The company engaged in demonstration and integration activity with eight telecom network operators during the period. Engagements increased from three in the first half of the fiscal year to an additional five in the second half.

Arqit joined Intel Partner Alliance working in cooperation to develop and execute go-to-market activity targeting muti-vertical customers across the Telco, Enterprise and Government customer landscape.

In September, Arqit was named a 2024 International Data Corp (IDC) Innovator for post quantum cryptography. The company is one of only five vendors recognized by IDC that are providing transformative solutions which enterprises can use to protect classical data and infrastructure with a long shelf value from the risk of a potential quantum cyberattack.

On 27 September 2024, Arqit announced Andy Leaver, a seasoned software company executive and Operating Partner from Notion Capital, has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Leaver brings a wealth of experience to the Chief Executive role having held senior executive roles at leading software companies including: Ariba, Bazaarvoice, Hortonworks, SuccessFactors and Workday as well as having been an adviser to several successful private software scale ups. He has expertise in driving sustainable revenue growth and scaling businesses. Notion Capital is a leading European venture capital firm and early backer of Arqit. Mr. Leaver will act independently of Notion Capital in his role as CEO.

Nicola Barbiero was appointed as a Class I Director on 26 November 2024. Mr. Barbiero has nearly two decades of experience in investment management and financial operations. He has been Investment Director of the Heritage Group since 2020. From 2013 to 2020, he held the positions of CFO and CIO at Solidarietà Veneto, one of Italy’s largest pension plan companies. Mr. Barbiero holds a Master’s degree in Economics and Finance from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.

The company previously announced cost reduction initiatives. Operating costs for the last three months of fiscal year 2024 averaged $2.3 million per month. Pro forma for additional operating cost saving which have or will be actioned shortly, budgeted average monthly operating costs for fiscal year 2025 are expected to be approximately $2.15 million.

On 30 September 2024, Arqit entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it sold 5,440,000 ordinary shares (on a post reverse share split basis) at an offering price of $2.50 per share in a registered direct offering. Gross proceeds to the company were approximately $13.6 million. In a concurrent private placement, Arqit issued unregistered warrants to purchase up to 5,440,000 shares (on a post reverse share split basis) with an exercise price of $2.50, exercisable upon the later of (i) one year from the issuance date, (ii) the date of the approval by the Arqit’s shareholders of an increase in authorized capital sufficient to permit the issuance of shares upon the exercise of the warrants and (iii) the date that the closing trading price of Arqit’s ordinary shares has exceeded $5.00 for 60 consecutive trading days. The purchasers were Heritage Assets SCSP (Arqit director Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio has shared investment and voting power over the shares held by Heritage Assets SCSP), existing Arqit shareholder Notion Capital, the beneficial owner of the Arqit shares held by Ropemaker Nominees Limited, and Carlo Calabria and Garth Ritchie, each a director of the Company.

As of 30 September 2024, Arqit had $18.7 million of cash and cash equivalents.

On 25 September 2024, Arqit effected a 25:1 reverse share split consolidating its authorized share capital. The Company effected the reverse share split in an effort to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement. The Company was first notified by Nasdaq of its failure to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) on 19 October 2023. Arqit was notified on 18 October 2024 by Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Company previously disclosed that the par value of its ordinary shares following the reverse share split was $0.000004, however the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares following the reverse share split is $0.0025.

In December 2022, Arqit established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which it may issue and sell ordinary shares with an aggregate offering amount of up to $50.0 million. Effective 15 April 2024, Arqit amended its ATM Program reducing the aggregate offering amount to $29.0 million. Effective 8 September 2024, Arqit amended its ATM Program further reducing its offering amount to $16.0 million. As a result, the remaining balance available for issuance, net of amounts issued in previous periods, is $4.1 million. Arqit issued 48,803 shares (on a post reverse split basis) under the ATM Program during fiscal year 2024.

Notes to Editors

The UK Government acknowledges the quantum threat:

UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC): “A quantum computer will allow the attacker to read information that has been encrypted in the past, and forge information in the future” (NCSC, Preparing for Quantum-Safe Cryptography whitepaper, 11 November 2020, link).

“Store-now, decrypt-later” is a known threat and concerning for data with a long-time value:

UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC): “The threat to key agreement is that an adversary collecting encrypted data today would be able to decrypt it in future, should they have access to a CRQC [Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer]” (NCSC, Preparing for Quantum-Safe Cryptography whitepaper, 11 November 2020, link).


US Congress: “The rapid progress of quantum computing suggests the potential for adversaries of the United States to steal sensitive encrypted data today using classical computers and wait until sufficiently powerful quantum systems are available to decrypt it” (Congress, Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, 21 December 2022, link).

Symmetric cryptography is a solution that can be implemented right now and can be used for both encryption and key exchange:

UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC): “In contrast with PKC [public-key cryptography], the security of symmetric cryptography is not significantly impacted by quantum computers, and existing symmetric algorithms with at least 128-bit keys (such as AES) can continue to be used” (NCSC, Next steps in preparing for post-quantum cryptography, 3 November 2023, link).


US National Security Agency (NSA): “NSA considers using pre-shared symmetric keys in a standards-compliant fashion a better near-term post-quantum solution than implementing experimental post-quantum asymmetric algorithms” (NSA, The Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 and Quantum Computing, 7 September 2022, link).

The US Government has already directed their agencies to implement symmetric-key protections for National Security Systems (NSS):

The White House: “By December 31, 2023, agencies maintaining NSS shall implement symmetric-key protections (e.g., High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) exclusion keys or VPN symmetric key solutions) to provide additional protection for quantum-vulnerable key exchanges” (The White House, National Security Memorandum on Promoting United States Leadership in Quantum Computing While Mitigating Risks to Vulnerable Cryptographic Systems, 4 May 2022, link).

Looking good. Another gap to fill from early Feb. 2023.

Yes, looking real good. Thanks!

We are doing fine. The late Steve Bigalow's trading group, developed the 8 EMA as a buy/sell trade line. Anytime the price gets to far from the 8 EMA line, the price pulls back.



Looking at the long term chart, you will see a lot of volume up to $2.00. Once it breaks $2, it will move up on less resistance. Also notice that OBV has turned up.

Weekly Chart

Disappointed with today's candle.

Yes! Nice continuation day, even with the market down!

It didn't have any trouble busting through the 200 DMA and OBV is turning up nicely.

There is the close above the 200 day ma! Hasn't closed above it since early Nov, 2022!! Looking to see if it builds from here.

I saw that, but it came out the week prior, so I don't know how much it had to do with Last Week's movement. Thanks!
