TQ42 Cryptography is the most comprehensive open-source PQC
library available that fully aligns with the NIST PQC standards
officially published yesterday
ST. GALLEN, Switzerland, Aug. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Terra Quantum, a
leader in quantum technology solutions, is proud to announce that
its post-quantum cryptography library, TQ42 Cryptography, fully
aligns with the NIST PQC standards officially published yesterday.
TQ42 Cryptography is the most comprehensive, NIST-aligned
open-source PQC library available.
Quantum computing poses an imminent threat to traditional
encryption, and NIST's standards usher in a new era of data
protection as organizations migrate from classical to post-quantum
cryptography. NIST's standards should motivate organizations to
take quantum threats seriously, which are crucial to
quantumresistant security. By standardizing PQC algorithms, NIST
provides a roadmap for organizations worldwide to transition to
quantum-resistant cryptographic systems.
TQ42 Cryptography provides a practical and comprehensive suite
of PQC algorithms, which include the security features necessary to
meet the NIST PQC standards, such as secure key exchange and robust
digital signatures. This ensures it meets today's standards and is
also prepared for tomorrow.
Terra Quantum is committed to creating innovative solutions that
comply with rigorous standards and that businesses can confidently
implement now. TQ42 Cryptography can be applied by businesses,
large or small, and scaled to meet customer needs.
Markus Pflitsch, Founder and CEO of Terra Quantum, said:
"As organizations begin to plan for the postquantum future,
adopting appropriate cryptography solutions is crucial for
maintaining the security of valuable information. TQ42 Cryptography
provides an accessible entry point to integrate quantum-resistant
security measures into their applications, ensuring the long-term
protection of sensitive data."
Dr. Florian Neukart, Chief Product Officer at Terra
Quantum, said: "Adding ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA to our
open-source library shows our ongoing commitment to democratizing
access to post-quantum cryptography. By empowering developers and
organizations worldwide with cutting-edge tools, we're ensuring
that the future of data protection is built on a foundation of
openness, collaboration, and shared innovation."

TQ42 Cryptography launched in May
2024, expanding Terra Quantum's quantum-as-a-service
ecosystem of existing offerings that provide easy access to quantum
computing tools. In its most recent releases, it added algorithms
for ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA, which passed test vectors for
NIST's new standards:
- ML-KEM (FIPS 203): Secure key encapsulation for post-quantum
encryption
- ML-DSA (FIPS 204): Robust digital signatures for post-quantum
authentication
- SLH-DSA (FIPS 205): Stateless hash-based signatures for
expanded capabilities
- FN-DSA (Falcon): Selected by NIST for future standardization,
already integrated into our library
TQ42 Cryptography caters to the needs of developers, security
professionals, and technology executives by offering a
user-friendly API, scalable architecture, and essential security
features like key generation and file deletion capabilities. The
library is available under two primary licensing options to
accommodate the diverse needs of organizations at different stages
of their post-quantum migration journeys: Free use is permitted
under AGPLv3, and a Commercial license is available.
About Terra Quantum
Terra Quantum Group is a leading quantum technology company
co-headquartered in Germany
and Switzerland. It provides "Quantum as a Service (QaaS)" in
three core areas, the first one being "Quantum Algorithms as a
Service." Here, customers are provided access to an extensive
library of algorithms, such as hybrid quantum optimization and
hybrid quantum neural networks, which can be used for solving
complex logistics problems or pattern recognition, among other
things. Terra Quantum also develops new quantum algorithms for its
customers or adapts existing algorithms to their specific needs.
Secondly, through "Quantum Computing as a Service," Terra Quantum
offers its customers access to its proprietary highperformance
simulated quantum processing units (QPU), the quantum ecosystem's
physical QPUs, while also developing native QPUs. The third
division is "Quantum Security as a Service," through which Terra
Quantum offers its unique solutions for secure quantum and post
quantum communications worldwide.
