The new cryptography library provides developers with post-quantumalgorithmsand security and key management functions.
They can be used across a range of applications, including mobile, web, IoT, and cloud.
The library is now available through the GitHub repository.
Specifically, the algorithms found in the repository focus on securing stored data, or data at rest.
This complements Terra Quantums patented Quantum Key Distribution protocols.
These offer security for data in motion.
(Last year, theyset a world recordfor securing long-distance communication with quantum encryption.)
Why the need for quantum-resistant algorithms?

This is due to the principles of superposition and entanglement of qubits.
These allow quantum computers to perform calculations much faster than classical computers.
As such, we will need specific algorithms to safeguard data in the post-quantum era.
These are constructed around mathematical problems considered difficult to solve for classical and quantum computers alike.
He added that the new library would provide an accessible entry point for integrating quantum-resistant security measures into applications.
In its quantum security division, the company provides solutions for secure quantum and post-quantum communications.
There is currently no hardware available that creates an actual immediate need for these technologies.
