From the article:
“Canadian cybersecurity firm Inturai has announced a breakthrough in quantum-safe security, specifically engineered to protect global IoT and edge computing devices. This advancement implements post-quantum cryptography directly on resource-constrained hardware, addressing a critical vulnerability as future quantum computers threaten to break current encryption standards. The development is a strategic leap in securing the expanding attack surface of the Internet of Things, which includes everything from industrial sensors to smart city infrastructure.
This security innovation contrasts with current IoT security, which often relies on encryption that will be obsolete in the quantum computing era. Inturai’s solution focuses on cryptographic agility and low-power execution, the critical deliverables for practical deployment. This matters because it provides a viable migration path for industries and governments to future-proof critical infrastructure against harvest now, decrypt later attacks, where data is stolen today to be decrypted by quantum machines in the future.”
Their partner PQStation furthermore reports that “[…] The joint work focused on securing MQTT traffic using post-quantum cryptography (PQC) on ESP32 chips, widely used in billions of global devices. The encryption was tested in two ways: one using only PQC and one combining PQC with traditional security. Both maintained strong performance, showing low delay and minimal power impact, proving that even small, low-power devices can operate securely against future quantum threats.” in a statement on their company’s webpage.
