Peter Marosan, Founder and CTO of Blueshift Memory, commented: “Our innovative non-Von Neumann computer architecture already offers a high level of intrinsic cybersecurity. The solution we are now developing with Crypta Labs adds quantum-resilient protection, meaning that data is encrypted within the memory and can only be read by the CXL-connected CPU. We believe that this joint development will yield one of the first technologies to create a bridge between quantum computing and silicon computer memory technology.”

Crypta Labs has developed a discrete Quantum Optics Module (QOM) and embedded software that together constitute a first-of-its-kind QRNG solution. Blueshift Memory will integrate the QOM into its Cambridge Architecture FPGA module to create a cybersecurity memory solution that is resilient to threats, even those from quantum computing.

“The basis for all encryption starts with a random number, and this is increasingly under attack since many so-called random numbers are in fact created by a pseudo-random generator,” said Dr Jose Garcia Coello, Chief Science Officer at Crypta Labs. “By using photons as a source of entropy, we have developed a fast, reliable method to generate true random numbers from that entropy using a quantum optics module. Blueshift Memory has a disruptive technology for highly efficient handling of large data sets and time-critical data like AI, and we are very excited to be working with them to add quantum-resilient cybersecurity to their solution.”
