RaonSecure Commercializes Quantum-Resistant Cryptography Security Solution

RaonSecure plans to continue its leadership in the quantum security market following its success in mobile security by commercializing security solutions applying Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).

IT security and authentication platform company RaonSecure (CEOs Lee Soon-hyung and Lee Jung-ah) announced on the 2nd that it has commercialized PQC technology applied to ‘Key# Biz,’ which provides electronic signature and segment encryption functions in PC environments, and ‘Key# Wireless,’ which offers these functions in mobile environments.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), recognized as next-generation security technology, is a new encryption method that remains difficult to decode even with quantum computers, which have computational power surpassing supercomputers. This is in response to the threat posed to existing public key cryptosystems (RSA) used in online, mobile, and facial security by advancements in quantum computing technology.

Key# Biz and Key# Wireless provide ‘segment encryption’ technology that encrypts information transmitted and received between devices such as PCs, mobiles, and servers, effectively countering information leakage threats over wired and wireless networks. Many users of these solutions include national security and defense-related agencies, financial institutions prioritizing transaction safety, and public service sectors.

Institutions or companies adopting the PQC-based segment encryption solutions Key# Biz and Key# Wireless can exchange information converted into PQC not only within internal networks but also across external networks, thereby significantly enhancing security. Additionally, they offer both a ‘hybrid PQC’ method compatible with existing RSA cryptosystems and a ‘PQC-only’ method that supports faster encryption, allowing selection according to current security environments.

Currently, cyberattacks are conducted using the ‘Store Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL)’ approach, where critical information is first collected and stored with the intent to rapidly conduct large-scale hacking once quantum computers are introduced. Since data encrypted with the RSA algorithm can be decrypted en masse in a short time by future quantum computers, proactive measures are crucial in areas such as defense, public sectors, personal information handling, and core technology research.

RaonSecure expects that these solutions will safely protect information from security threats arising from the spread of quantum computers and respond effectively to such threats.

Earlier this year, the Presidential Office also emphasized responding to new security threats triggered by emerging technologies such as quantum technology in its ‘National Cybersecurity Strategy.’ Furthermore, according to a Growth Market Report, the PQC market is projected to grow to approximately 12 trillion KRW by 2030.

RaonSecure plans to continue commercializing various PQC-based security solutions to prepare for the anticipated era of quantum computing commercialization within the next decade. The company also aims to secure leadership in the quantum security market through proactive research, development, and investment to advance its solutions.

Lee Jung-ah, CEO of RaonSecure, stated, “As hacking techniques become more sophisticated with rapidly advancing new technologies, existing encryption systems like the RSA algorithm can no longer protect critical information that determines national competitiveness, such as military secrets. We strongly recommend that defense, public, financial, corporate, and network sectors proactively adopt PQC-based security solutions.”
