QUANTUM HACKING IS COMING…ARE YOU PREPARED!

The RSA cryptography system was launched about 50 years ago. It launch came with much excitement, as it cryptography brought about security of the internet and digital communication in such fashion unknown to the world. While RSA cryptography has served well in securing the internet and digital communications, its time is coming to an end due to the emergence of quantum computing.

Over the years hackers has been employing significant amount of resources and effort at cracking the RSA cryptography and other kinds of encryption. The emergence of quantum computing makes for the feasibility of cracking the RSA cryptography and other kinds of encryption sooner than anticipated. The classical computer uses binary bits, which can have a value of either zero or one. An array of these zeroes and ones translate into data, however the nature of these bits means only one computation can be done at a time. But with quantum computing, each quantum bit (called a qubit) can both have a value of zero and one at the same time. This difference means quantum computers can store more data and perform more computations per second than classical computers, making them more appropriate for developing code breaking apps.

With quantum computing technologies breakthrough on the horizon, which would enable the development of applications to crack existing methods of encryption, there cannot be a better time to act than now. Why? Because if RSA cryptography which is mostly used and secured is cracked, critical applications and softwares such as HTTPS, banking protocols, and government systems face the imminent risk of compromise; and the chaos that may emanate from such a hack could be totally devastating and disruptive to our social and economic framework as a people or nation.

Cryptocurrencies and the Imminent risk of Quantum Hacking!

Reliability is one of the most important feature of any substance that serves as money. And as purchaser of any goods or services we are quite interested in the knowledge that our money will useful in purchasing that thing of interest or pay for bills, etc. Likewise as a service provider or product manufacturer you will want to be sure that the substance being used as money to exchange for your product or services actually has value. And you won’t allow any customer to purchase your products or services severally with the same bank notes or coins.

What makes cryptocurrencies reliable is derived from the use of sophisticated encryption techniques to keep track of its transactions. This ensures that the same cryptocurrency, such as Dash or BTC is not used twice and that it’s transferred safely from one holder to the next.

The speed in computation afforded by quantum computing will be just as dangerous for cryptocurrencies as for RSA cryptography. An unethical hacker with a quantum computer will have the capability of performing the required calculations to outrun all the computers maintaining a particular blockchain. With that happening, it will then allow for the use of the same cryptocurrency for multiple transactions. And obviously this will not be good for this new technology as a reliable means of exchange, thereby destroying the market value and applicability of the cryptocurrency.

Quantum1Net and security of the digital economy

Understanding the imminent risk posed by quantum computing, Quantum1Net has developed a new solution for these upcoming problems by integrating quantum mechanics in its technological breakthrough. Quantum mechanics allows for random sequences of numbers to be generated intrinsically. And this lies in the heart of Quantum1Net, Quantum Encrypted Key Generation (QEKG) technology, which will allow for secure storage and transfer of data. It will provide a level of complexity in cryptographic key generation that is not possible by other cryptographic means, protecting data even from quantum computers.

The Quantum1Net mission is innovatively driven by the Quantum1Net team. They are determined to create incredibly powerful cryptographic technology that is accessible, important, and individualistic. Quantum1Net’s mission is to create technologies that enables and empowers the people. They’ve developed a product that’s secured and takes care any worry you might have now or in the future about the security of your data and digital files. They are introducing an unparalleled level of technical innovation, combined with a system design that connects with the user to provide critical security, ease of use, and peace of mind.

Each year, Quantum1Net plans to reinvest around 20% of its revenue into R & D in order to develop more sophisticated network security solutions to improve transmissions options for people around the world.

The Solution to quantum computing threat: Quantum Encryption Key Generator (QEKG)

The following narrative is taken from the Quantum1Net Whitepaper. It’s to present how the solution to quantum computing was arrived at. The credit goes to the Quantum1Net team:

“The Quantum Encryption Key Generator is the heart of Quantum1Net’s encryption technology. For the review, generating a random multi-signature number from which mathematical properties are derived in the case of RSA cryptography is prime factorization. There is one main issue however, the random generators used are only pseudo-random (commonly referred to as PRNGs), and so an RSA key is pseudo-random. Tests have shown that PRNGs exhibit a repetitive pattern of behavior when selecting so called “random numbers.” This pattern means that with enough results, a prediction can be made for future number selections. Thus, PRNGs aren’t truly random. Quantum1Net instead relies on a Quantum Encryption Key Generator (QEKG). Because of the properties of quantum computers itself, tests have shown that even in large samples, the numbers selected follow no pattern thus no predictive algorithm can be derived. The graph below shows our results for a test of both a PRNG and QEKG on a sample 20,000 bit in length 50,000 times. Using a PRNG, after 50,000 tests it is apparent visually that data is predictive even after the first 10,000 or so attempts. With QEKG however that is not the case. Look at the bottom portion of the graph where the dots are more disperse. Unlike the PRNG graph, in the QEKG graph there is no apparent pattern to their locations”.

Quantum1Net Prototype
The laboratory prototype of Quantum1Net’s Quantum Random Number Generator, which has been in development since 2014, is based on a one-qbit optical device, that uses four photon detectors and time-to-digital (TDC) converter to generate sets of perfect random numbers with timestamps. The quantum device consists of an entangled photons source, and linear optical elements, which sets the quantum system to the desired state. Two configurations have been developed to generate sets of 4 and 6 elements respectively. The output of the TDC is the temporary queue, from which sets of unique random numbers or encryption keys can be requested, creating a real time, on demand encryption and decryption system

Quantum1Net Roadmap
Quantum1Net expects to continue development through the first part of 2018. The hiring of additional developers in March 2018 should allow us to finalize development of the initial QEKG the following month, supporting a limited Quantum1Net deployment in May. The final design for the hardware-based Quantum Key Generation should be complete in July, followed by the signing of manufacturing partners by the end of summer 2018. Fall of 2018 is when we fully expect to start racing towards a global Quantum1Net launch in January of 2019. We expect the ‘alpha’ version of the Quantum1Net file transmission platform initially during September, and a beta version in November 2018. The release version is likely to be completed the following month, which paves the way for the global Quantum1Net release targeted for Q1 2019.
