Summary

Patero Partners with Calibr8

Patero Inc. and Calibr8 Systems formed a strategic partnership to transition industrial data infrastructures to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in Australia and the Philippines.
The collaboration targets financial services and telecommunications and aligns with government mandates to phase out quantum-vulnerable algorithms by 2030.
Researchers at the Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru developed a quantum-based randomness generation technique using a single qubit on IBM's cloud platform, providing true randomness for cryptographic applications.

History

Historical Context

In 2016, NIST initiated a standardization process for post-quantum cryptography, responding to concerns that quantum computing could compromise existing encryption methods like RSA by 2030. By 2019, over 80 organizations, including IBM and Google, collaborated on this effort. Recent partnerships, such as between Patero Inc. and Calibr8 Systems, highlight the urgency for quantum-resistant solutions in critical sectors like finance and telecommunications.
