QBit-Key^TM

Independent Software holds the key to protecting data today and in the quantum future.  Our unique QBit-Key^TM quantum-safe key delivery infrastructure was built for resiliency, helping organizations stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape and advances in computing with a quantum-safe solutions that’s enterprise-ready and deployable today.

Traditional encryption relies on legacy architecture that is outdated and inherently flawed. Rapid advancements in computing, the impending arrival of quantum computers, and an increasingly connected world has put the most popular method for protecting our digital universe at great risk. A new approach is needed.

Independent Software’s out-of-band symmetric key delivery platform solves for the problems of legacy encryption to provide stronger security today and a quantum-safe solution to protect against future attacks.

Stronger Data Security Today.
Quantum-Safe Protection from Future Threats.

There’s no arguing that the arrival of quantum computers will fundamentally change how organizations secure their most sensitive data.  Shor’s algorithm proved that large prime numbers – that math that forms the underpinnings of today’s Public Key Encryption (PKE) – can be quickly factored by a quantum computer, leaving much of the world’s data, commerce, and digital economies exposed and at risk.

While there is much debate on when a quantum computer will be available, present-day PKE suffers from weaknesses and vulnerabilities beyond the quantum threat.  The conventional method for protecting data in motion, PKE pairs encryption keys and data together.  An attacker needs only to compromise one connection to obtain secret information.  There must be a better way.

Look no further than QBit-Key™ from Independent Software.

Quantum computing represents the next great computing paradigm and will require equally powerful next-generation security solutions for protecting data and communications networks. Independent Software has answered the call with QBit-Key™ and its ability to strengthen encrypted data transfer with out-of-band symmetric key delivery. This means it can make existing keys quantum-safe without introducing significant changes to your existing security infrastructure.

Because QBit-Key™ separates the data and key delivery channel, a brute-force attack is nearly impossible. Combining keys delivered inline by traditional methods and out-of-band with quantum-safe key delivery allows for unobtrusive deployment on existing networks. At the same time, it boosts the encrypted channel’s resistance to attack thereby increasing your overall cybersecurity posture.
