(CercleFinance.com) – Thales, coordinator of the RESQUE consortium, announces that the group’s project aims to develop within 3 years a post-quantum encryption solution to protect the communications, infrastructures and networks of local authorities and companies against future attacks orchestrated by a quantum computer.
The computing power offered will potentially have the capacity to break the various existing encryption algorithms widely used today. It thus threatens the security of the most sensitive data and therefore the sovereignty of countries.
In addition to Thales, the RESQUE consortium brings together five French players: the SME specializing in secure communications TheGreenBow, the SME specialist in cryptography CryptoExperts, the start-up CryptoNext Security, the National Information Systems Security Agency (ANSSI) and the National Institute for Research in Digital Sciences and Technologies (Inria).
