✦ AI Summary
Jiransecurity has begun a business transition in preparation for the quantum era and officially launched the Q-BRIDGE Project on the 17th.
The company applied NIST standard-based post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to its core security products and implemented a hybrid structure that runs existing cryptography and PQC in parallel, along with Crypto Agility.
Jiransecurity plans to form the K-Quantum Transition Technology and Business Council and flesh out quantum transition solutions and services, including cryptographic asset discovery, technology linkage, and actual transition.
Jiransecurity has begun a business transition in preparation for the quantum era. Based on the technology and business capabilities it has accumulated in its existing security SW business, the company has moved to fully develop its quantum-safe transition business. It said it officially launched the "Q-BRIDGE Project" on the 17th as the framework for carrying this out.
The company previously applied NIST standard-based post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to its core security products. It also implemented a hybrid structure that runs existing cryptography and PQC in parallel. In addition, it established Crypto Agility, laying the technical groundwork for a phased transition of its cryptographic system.
Based on this foundation, the company plans to flesh out quantum transition solutions and services. It said the move is intended to reflect demand in the quantum computing-related market and respond to market demand.
On the ground, a shift is taking place that goes beyond expectations for the technology itself and calls for ways to apply it in real-world environments. The requested scope includes integration with existing systems, cryptographic system transition, performance verification, security verification, deployment, and operations. Accordingly, Jiransecurity plans to expand into a quantum transition business that covers customers' overall cryptographic environments.
Jiransecurity launched the Q-BRIDGE Project to support customers' PQC transition. The project's tagline is "Discover. Connect. Transition." and its scope consists of cryptographic asset discovery, technology linkage, and actual transition. The project will proceed in stages, and in the discovery phase it will conduct passive and active Crypto Discovery to visualize the cryptographic assets currently in use, identify risk factors, and derive transition priorities.
In the connect phase that follows, it will link technologies by field and products that require quantum-safe transition. In the final transition phase, it will take existing system compatibility, performance, and business continuity into account. In this phase, it will promote a phased transition.
Jiransecurity has formed the "K-Quantum Transition Technology and Business Council." The council was created to connect expertise across each technology area into a single transition framework. Participants include KAIST, ICTK, Hanbit SI Co., Ltd., BigO, Unikey, and Jiransecurity.
The council will operate as a structure that sequentially connects the technology areas needed for actual quantum transition, from validation and consulting on post-quantum cryptography technology to cryptography, security infrastructure, networks, authentication, access, and PKI software. Jiransecurity's goal is to go beyond simple technology verification and respond to actual customers' quantum-safe transition needs. To that end, it plans to prepare an execution plan centered on the council that encompasses cryptographic asset discovery, identification of transition priorities, technology linkage by field, verification, and phased transition of actual systems, and to flesh out quantum transition solutions and services.
Jiransecurity plans to connect quantum-safe technologies at the research and individual technology levels to actual products, systems, and customer environments. It also plans to push ahead with this in a way that develops it into a quantum transition business that public and private customers can adopt.
As a PKI expert, Jiransecurity CTO Lee Sang-jun said that in a situation where interest in and expectations for quantum technology are rising, it is important to connect those expectations to solutions and transition frameworks that actual customers can adopt. To do this, Jiransecurity has accumulated security SW and has customer and business capabilities, and it will combine that with technologies from academia and specialist companies in each field to move beyond the research and technology verification stage and flesh out an executable quantum transition model.
