Thales and Quantum Xchange: Delivering Quantum-Safe, Data-in- Motion Security without Compromise - Solution Brief

Advances in computing and mathematics continue to push the boundaries of how best to secure data in motion. The arrival of a quantum computer will easily break the encryption that protects most of our digital world. Meanwhile, present-day Public Key Encryption (PKE) – the conventional method for protecting transmitted data, i.e., TLS/SSL – suffers from weaknesses and vulnerabilities beyond the quantum threat. With PKE, the encryption keys and data travel together. An attacker needs only to compromise one connection to obtain secret information.
