The developer of Web3 Tech together with qApp tested a new platform "Confidential" based on the blockchain for implementing quantum-stable solutions.

The creator of the Confidential platform is Web3 Technologies, a company that develops blockchain-based products in Russia and the CIS countries. The project was also attended by qApp ("qApp") from the Russian Quantum Center, which is involved in the development of state standards for new quantum-stable (post-quantum) algorithms. Algorithms allow you to protect data from hacker attacks, including cyber attacks using quantum computers. The companies recently signed an agreement on technological cooperation in the field of information security in the Russian Federation.

The developers claim that digital qApp products based on post-quantum encryption are successfully integrated into the Confidential platform from Web3 Tech. Now we are working on their practical implementation. During testing, the PQLR library was implemented, consisting of post-quantum algorithms developed in the Russian Federation. Based on this library, quantum-stable algorithms were used for generating key pairs, hashing, creating electronic signatures and verifying them.

The pilot project proved that modern blockchain-based solutions can be compatible with post-quantum algorithms and can easily interact with them. The companies plan to expand the pilot project and are already negotiating with representatives of government and commercial organizations.

Artem Kalikhov, CEO of Web3 Tech, said that the threats posed by modern quantum computers are only growing. Therefore, you need to use new solutions to avoid losing client data.

"The threat risk is growing every year, as the power of quantum computers is constantly increasing. We intend to protect the data of the state and companies, so we are ready to create and test quantum-stable solutions using distributed registry technology, " added Anton Guglya, CEO of qApp.
