What We Do
Eternal Encryption.
In an age of escalating cyberespionage, robust encryption protocols have never been more important. Current encryption methods rely on vulnerable and archaic technologies, which will be rendered obsolete by the rise of quantum computers and associated scientific advances.
Qrypt’s encryption solution can secure an enterprise today and eliminate future risk; it is the only algorithm mathematically proven to be unbreakable, even in theory. Qrypt protects data from the threat of quantum computers and those machines and mathematics yet to be invented.
The Qrypt team is composed of proven cryptography and security experts from academia, industry, and government. Our mission is to help you take back your privacy forever. Together, we can transform the way the world safeguards data and communications.
