CryptoNext Security (Accelerator)

Company Description: The quantum computer disruption is an opportunity, but also a threat to the security of our communications. A large-scale quantum computer will break the public key crypto-systems that secure Internet networks (https, IPSec VPN), mobile messaging apps (Signal, WhatsApp…), digital signature protocols, blockchain applications, etc…. The impact of this threat is systemic and all public and private organizations will have to migrate their IT infrastructure or products to quantum safe solutions. National security agencies (NSA in USA, ANSSI in France, BSI in Germany...) deliver a common message: "Quantum risk is simply too high and can no longer be ignored". CryptoNext Security is a spin-off, from Inria, Sorbonne University and CNRS, founded in 2019 by Jean-Charles Faugère and Ludovic Perret, two mathematician researchers, pioneers in post quantum cryptography. CryptoNext Security develops quantum resistant cryptography software solutions. The core technology of CryptoNext is a Quantum Safe Library (QSL) of public key cryptography. This technology was already successfully deployed for various use cases (HSM, Digital Signature, Messaging Apps, Public Key Infrastructures…) with different verticals (Defense, Banking).
