Trump and quantum cybersecurity: A step back in the quantum age?

Donald Trump’s latest executive order has reignited a crucial debate: how much do political decisions really shape our digital security? According to sources like Forbes, Cybersecurity Dive o The Verge, the order reverses several initiatives from the Biden administration, especially those tied to artificial intelligence and post-quantum cryptography. Among the most controversial moves is the ...

Quantum computing and cybersecurity: how to prepare for the post-RSA era

Quantum computing is no longer a distant innovation, it’s a disruptive force already reshaping digital security. With quantum algorithms capable of solving complex mathematical problems in seconds, traditional encryption methods like RSA and ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) are becoming increasingly vulnerable. By 2025, cybersecurity threats tied to quantum computing are no longer theoretical. According to ...

Discovering Quantum Encryption and Quantum Drop

During the last Telefónica Innovation Day 2024 we also dedicated some time to two TU projects that have to do with the world of Post-Quantum Cryptography. One of them, TU Quantum Drop (Beta), is a WeTransfer-like service that I already told you about, and the other one is TU Quantum Encryption, which is a system ...

TU Quantum Drop Beta: how to use post-quantum cryptography to protect your information?

All protocols currently used for secure communications are threatened by quantum computers. According to experts at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) in the near future, current asymmetric key encryption techniques will be completely breached by quantum computers. But not only data in transit, but also data at rest such as, e.g. your most ...

TU Quantum Drop: Cloud Storage and File Sharing with Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Algorithms

At the end of July, knowing that the final versions of the NIST algorithms for Post-Quantum Cryptography (Post-Quantum Cryptography) were coming, we released the private beta of another of the innovation projects that we run at Tu.com and that has to do with Quantum Computing, called Quantum Drop. Figure 1: Quantum Drop: Cloud Store and ...

Quantum-Safe Technology: how quantum technology is evolving

Quantum technology is an innovation with countless applications. Quantum computers, for example, do not use the binary bit of classical digital computing, but operate with qubits and principles of quantum mechanics. Quantum devices are capable of solving mathematical problems that are impractical for conventional computers, which is triggering a technological revolution. Advances in quantum computing ...
