selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and
Provisioning services, while developing Post-Quantum technology
hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a
variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens,
Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, and IT Network Infrastructure,

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods
that are secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As quantum
computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of
the cryptographic methods that are currently used to protect
sensitive information, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography
(ECC). PQC aims to develop new cryptographic methods that are
secure against quantum attacks.For more information please visit
