There is widespread concern that quantum computers could eventually defeat today\u2019s encryption. Many experts warn that once quantum machines have enough qubits, they could break 256-bit encryption in seconds, putting massive amounts of data at risk.<\/p>\n

That is why so much time, money, and energy are being invested in post-quantum encryption (PQE). Yet PQE promises only resistance, not protection. Why?<\/p>\n

It is because while quantum computers are fundamentally different from today\u2019s computers, PQE is not a fundamental change at all. It is essentially just more advanced mathematics. In short, it is only \u2018resistance\u2019 because industry\u2019s answer to machines that can quickly solve extremely hard math is to make the math even harder.<\/p>\n

But what if we changed the nature of data protection so quantum computers no longer posed a threat?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Single-dimensional Result Factoring<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s encryption ciphers have an inherent weakness: every decryption attempt produces a binary result. It either succeeds or fails. When a quantum computer attacks a key, the real weakness is not the one successful attempt; it is the trillions of failures which, when failing, reveal what does not work. We call this binary model Single-dimensional Result Factoring (SRF).<\/p>\n

Multi-dimensional Result Factoring<\/h2>\n

But in the arena of protecting sensitive personal data against loss and exposure, there is a different solution, available today on standard hardware, which can provide real protection<\/strong> against quantum-powered threats, not just resistance. That solution is based on changing the rules of the game in such a way that the nature and capabilities of quantum computers become a liability, not an asset, to attackers. We call that Multi-dimensional Result Factoring (MRF).<\/p>\n

With MRF, every attempt to restore data returns a successful response. However, only the correct key returns the correct value. Every other key returns a syntactically valid but incorrect value.<\/p>\n

Because this approach differs so sharply from conventional data protection, it can be easier to understand through an analogy.<\/p>\n
