New Quantum‑Safe Chip Shields Data from Future Quantum Attacks 🔒

Researchers with Swiss semiconductor firm SEALSQ have introduced the QS7001 chip—designed to secure sensitive data against future quantum‑computer attacks. Combining two NIST-approved post‑quantum encryption protocols (Dilithium and Kyber), it drastically reduces transmission windows from 1,500 ms to just 100 ms. This breakthrough marks the first hardware-driven defense compatible with existing internet infrastructure—demonstrated at Davos, offering promise for protecting medical records, financial transactions, and personal comms as quantum computers grow more powerful.
