Cambridge Quantum: Cryptographic Key Generation Platform

2021: Platform Launch

At the beginning of December, 2021 the company on production of the software for quantum computerovcambridge reported to Quantum about start of the platform for generation of the superprotected cryptographic keys and their sale as a commercial product.

British startup Cambridge Quantum uses a quantum computer to generate advanced encryption keys. The key generated in this way has higher protection against cybercriminals than a cipher that is created using a classic computer.

According to Cambridge Quantum, the new service may be in demand in the financial services sector, as well as among companies specializing in cybersecurity. The startup plans to extend the provision of this service also to other high-priority sectors, such as telecommunications, energy, manufacturing, defense and government.

A platform has been launched to sell super-secure cryptographic keys from Cambridge Quantum, created on quantum computers

We have been working for several years on a method of effectively and efficiently using the unique capabilities of quantum computers to provide our customers with protection against intruders now and in the future, when quantum computers will become predominant, "said Ilyas Khan, CEO of Quantinuum and founder of Cambridge Quantum, in a statement.

Quantum Origin gives us the opportunity to be safe from the most sophisticated and powerful threats today, as well as from threats from quantum computers in the future, "explained Cambridge Quantum.

British startup Cambridge Quantum in 2021 became a wholly owned subsidiary of Quantinuum, a quantum computer hardware and software company in which Honeywell International owns a 54% stake. In addition, Honeywell invested $300 million in Quantinuum, providing it with seed capital.^[1]
