Dell turns to Arqit to block ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ attacksDell is targeting the US Federal Government, including the Department of Defense (DoD) and the intelligence community with an agreement to use quantum-safe encryption from Arqit.By partnering with the very best innovator in the industry we have a great opportunity to do that in a comprehensive way.”What the US government and the Pentagon are worried about is potential “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, by which organisations will store traffic encrypted to 50-year-old public key infrastructure (PKI) techniques, in the expectation that quantum computing will soon allow emails and other messages to be decoded.UK-based, US-funded Arqit has responded to this with its quantum-based encryption, which just a few days ago became available on Amazon Web Services (AWS).QuantumCloud is a symmetric key agreement software which solves the problems of PKI and the quantum computing threat, said Arqit.Arqit said: “With the ability to digitally rotate symmetric keys in real time and dynamically manage security groups the solution offers significant mission advantage across today’s growing threat surface.”"
