"Dual Threat Response with 'Mythos' and 'Ising': Polaris Office and Aton Build Quantum-Secure Web Office"
With the recent unveiling of security-focused AI models such as Anthropic's "Mythos" and Nvidia's quantum AI model "Ising," there is a growing need for a structural response across the global security landscape. As technologies that autonomously detect software vulnerabilities and advancements in quantum computing performance progress simultaneously, the shift in the security paradigm is accelerating. Against this backdrop, Polaris Office and Aton have launched a web office construction project based on the quantum security memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in January 2026.
Nvidia's "Ising" is an AI agent developed to address the error correction challenge, one of the core issues in quantum computing. By utilizing a vision-language model (VLM), it interprets measurement results from quantum processors and automates the correction process. This technology is likely to accelerate quantum computing performance, bringing forward the practical threat of "harvest now, decrypt later" (HNDL) attacks, in which encrypted data is first acquired and then decrypted at a later time.
Additionally, the autonomous vulnerability detection capabilities demonstrated by "Mythos" are further intensifying the need to strengthen security frameworks to cope with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. In response, Polaris Office plans to combine Aton's post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technology with its own document solution, "Polaris Web Office," to provide end-to-end encryption throughout the entire life cycle of a document, from creation to distribution and storage.
Polaris Web Office is a browser-based solution that enables direct editing of original documents such as HWP and HWPX. It features a serverless architecture and local processing, making it possible to operate without a separate conversion server. This design minimizes security vulnerabilities that could arise during transmission to external servers.
In addition, to enhance security during document transmission and authentication stages, Aton's end-to-end encryption (E2E) solution, "Quantum SafeLine," is being introduced. For data transmission, a session key exchange based on the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard ML-KEM algorithm is applied, while the ML-DSA algorithm is used for digital signatures to ensure data integrity.
The two companies have identified financial institutions and the B2B edutech sector as their initial target markets. In the financial sector, they are pursuing a cross-selling strategy by combining Aton's established PQC infrastructure with Polaris Web Office's features. For the edutech market, they plan to penetrate both public and private sectors by offering a document environment with enhanced protection for student data.
According to Polaris Office, in an environment where AI-based hacking techniques and quantum computing threats are converging, a document platform with cryptographic reliability is emerging as a key factor for corporate competitiveness. The company also stated that, through its collaboration with Aton, it aims to build a globally competitive secure document infrastructure capable of countering various attack scenarios.
