Quantum-Safe Security

Post-Quantum Cryptography

Protection against current and future threats, including quantum computers

What is Post-Quantum Cryptography?

Post-quantum cryptography is a set of cryptographic algorithms designed to resist attacks by quantum computers, which will be powerful enough to break most encryption systems currently in use.

Traditional Cryptography (RSA, ECC)

Used today for secure communication, but vulnerable to quantum computers using Shor's algorithm.

Quantum Computers

Machines that use quantum mechanics principles to perform calculations millions of times faster than conventional computers.

Post-Quantum Algorithms

Mathematical algorithms based on hard problems that even quantum computers cannot solve efficiently.

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later Threat

This is a real and current threat where adversaries are already storing encrypted data today, waiting for quantum computers to become available to decrypt it in the future.

How This Attack Works:

1
Adversaries capture and store all encrypted traffic today (emails, messages, files)
2
They wait 10-20 years until quantum computers become commercially available
3
Use quantum computers to break traditional encryption (RSA, ECC) retroactively
4
Access all information that was "secure" in the past

Critical: Even if you encrypt your data today with traditional algorithms, it may become vulnerable in the future. That's why post-quantum protection is essential NOW.

Our Solution: Hybrid Protection

Kiky Apps Premium uses a hybrid approach combining traditional and post-quantum algorithms, ensuring security both today and in the future.

Hybrid Encryption

Combines traditional (AES-256) and post-quantum (Kyber) algorithms for dual protection

End-to-End

Data encrypted on your device and only decrypted on destination device

NIST Certified Algorithms

Using algorithms approved by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)

Future-Proof

Your data protected even against quantum computers of the future

Technical Details

Algorithms Used

Kyber: Post-quantum key encapsulation (KEM) resistant to quantum attacks
Dilithium: Digital signatures resistant to quantum computers
AES-256-GCM: Symmetric encryption for data protection

Implementation

We use a hybrid approach that combines the security of traditional and post-quantum algorithms:

// Encryption example

Kyber-1024 + AES-256-GCM

→ Key exchange via Kyber-1024

→ Data encryption via AES-256-GCM

Standards and Compliance

All algorithms follow NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) recommendations for post-quantum cryptography, published in 2024.
