Quantum Security?

Ask ICTK!

With Quantum-Resilient PUF, ICTK designs the future of security and leads the quantum-resilient era.


Quantum Security - The Time to Start is Now.

Delaying the transition to quantum security only increases your costs and risks.

Conventional Cryptography Is No Longer Secure

• Mathematical limitations of traditional public-key cryptography
• Public-key algorithms such as RSA and ECC are vulnerable to Shor’s Algorithm
• RSA-2048 can be theoretically decrypted using Shor’s Algorithm
 • The number of physical qubits achieved today is already approaching the theoretical threshold for decryption

Evolving Hacking Trends & Corporate Trust

• Long-term data exposure risks

   -  proprietary designs, transactions,
       source technologies

   - Hack Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL)

      attacks emerging
• Security breaches erode corporate trust

   - Threaten business continuity

       in finance and telecom sectors

   - lead to enormous recovery costs

      and legal liabilities

Regulations and Standards

• NIST PQC Standard (2024)

   - PQC migration required by 2035

• KpqC Standard in Korea (2025)

   - non-compliance may result in exclusion

     from public projects

Quantum Security - The Time to Start is Now.


Delaying the transition to quantum security only increases your costs and risks.



Conventional Cryptography Is No Longer Secure 


• Mathematical limitations of traditional public-key cryptography
 • Public-key algorithms such as RSA and ECC are vulnerable to Shor’s Algorithm
 • RSA-2048 can be theoretically decrypted using Shor’s Algorithm
 • The number of physical qubits achieved today is already approaching the theoretical threshold for decryption 



The Quantum Era Has Already Begun 


• Google and IBM have successfully demonstrated quantum computers
 • Quantum computing power is growing exponentially every year
 • Quantum Cloud (QaaS) services make quantum access available to anyone
 • Attackers now have an environment where quantum technology is within reach 







Store Now, Decrypt Later 



•Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL)
• Massive amounts of data are already being collected today
• Once quantum computers are realized, current encryption will lose its meaning
 • Long-term data such as financial records, designs, medical information, government data, and authentication keys are already in the danger zone

 



The World Is Already Transitioning 


• United States (NIST): PQC standards announced in 2024
• UK and EU: Targeting full PQC migration by 2035
• Japan: High-risk classified systems to be migrated by 2030
 • Korea: PQC adoption to be integrated into the KCMVP framework starting in 2025
