Made against attacks by quantum computers
Post-quantum encryption is designed to hold against attacks by quantum computers, not only by the computers of today.

Encryption made for the quantum era
Updated
Post-quantum encryption is designed to hold against attacks by quantum computers. It is for data that has to stay private for years after it is sent.
- Against quantum attacks
- For data kept for years
- Measures, not a guarantee
Layers around the data

WHY IT MATTERS NOW
Data recorded today can be read tomorrow
Encrypted data does not have to be broken the day it is sent. It can be copied, kept and tried again later.
01 Today
Data is sent, encrypted
A message, a file or a call leaves one device for another, encrypted on the way.
02 Kept for
later
Someone records it
An attacker cannot read it today, but can copy the encrypted data and keep it.

03 Later
A quantum computer arrives
Encryption made only for today’s computers may not hold against one.
04 Made for
the long run
Post-quantum encryption
Designed to hold against that attack, for data that has to stay private for years.

HOW WE BUILD IT
Four rules for encryption on our systems
Post-quantum encryption is part of the encryption we build, never a replacement for the basics.
Beside encryption in transit and at rest
Data is encrypted while it moves and while it sits on a disk, by default on every system we build.
Tested before it goes live
Every platform passes stress tests before it goes live.
Published as a measure, not a promise
We never call encryption unbreakable. We say what it is designed for and where it stands today.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Questions about post-quantum encryption
What it is, why it matters now, and where it stands.
Post-quantum encryption is encryption designed to hold against attacks by quantum computers, as well as by the computers of today. It matters most for data that has to stay private for years, because encrypted data recorded today could be read later by a quantum computer if the encryption was made only for today’s machines.
Because data can be recorded now and read later. An attacker who cannot read encrypted traffic today can still copy it and keep it. If that data has to stay private for years, the encryption has to hold for years too, including against the computers that arrive in that time.
Post-quantum encryption is part of the encryption we build. On Secureline, our platform for business calls, video and messages, it is part of the encryption plan, and its status is Planned. Secureline is in its final build before testing.
No, and we will not call it that. No completely secure system exists, and we publish measures instead of guarantees. Post-quantum encryption is designed to hold against attacks by quantum computers. It is one layer, beside sign-in protection, monitoring inside systems and encryption in transit and at rest.
