An active cypherThis is a startup name that has raised the challenge of taking cryptography to the next level thanks to its quantum PC. What this small business is doing is to show the risk of cryptography at the hands of users who for a few dollars have done a lot of damage.
QUBY: The first accessible quantum PC that puts security
After years and years of trying to anticipate the cybersecurity community about current policies and their commitment to safety standards, Dan Gleason, co-founder, founder and CTO of Active Cypher, concluded that they were not up to the task
So Dan has decided to take action on this issue and pass on cybersecurity theoretical data, to raise public awareness of how cyber threats are not being sustained in projects sponsored by big bosses, terrorist groups or similar, where billions of dollars
PC is called QUBY it also releases open source algorithms that are able to perform within a quantum simulation, which allows at the same time to perform cryptographic cracking algorithms. What is achieved is simple: perform many such functions that allow skipping encryption of current systems in seconds instead of years.
Logically, this undermines all standard security available, including the AES-256 certificate, which would mean that the currently listed files are at greater risk of being invented. The power of the PC is such that Gleason guarantees that at this cost, the global impact will not be foreseen and that it will redefine how to deal with security for this type of device designed to break passwords only.
QUBY is portable, not very compact, but very efficient
Dan reduced the size of his original vision and designed where he was transported in a barrel, so that the attacker could move without much trouble from the country or the world, where his main advantage was uncontrollable.
Gelason says this makes it hard to find, since attacks can come from many different sites such as locations that an attacker can access. In addition, it states that encryption is not merely a solution to a mathematical problem, but that it is a random key within the text, and therefore cannot be derived from the main use, that is, the efforts of traditional intelligence powers.
Being a random one, or a high-powered quantum PC can determine the encryption key, since the only solution would be to test each combination. This would result in all the key combination being specified, so it would not be equally known which one was true.
The first QUBY sample was launched earlier this month by Microsoft, the final model to be launched in RSA later this month.
