SafeQuard: A suite of quantum-safe cryptographic tools to defend against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.
SafeQuard is Javascript based which can be dynamically loaded and executed within web browsers to protect specific HTML fields without any separate installation or configuration. By using standards-based Post Quantum Cryptography, SafeQuard ensures that harvested data is resistant against attacks by quantum computers.
Use Cases
Identity credentials
In order to ascertain the identity of users connecting remotely to the transaction website, users will be asked to provide credentials in the form of secret passwords, facial/fingerprint or some biometric data, card PINs or answer personal questions which are private to the users. Biometric data and highly personalized information are unique to each user and if such information is harvested and decrypted by attackers, this will result in dire consequences for the users, the financial institutions involved, and even the industry at large since this effectively amounts to a system-wide “identity theft”. SafeQuard can be used to encrypt the identity / authentication credentials provided by the users, for safe transmission to the organization’s website.
Transaction data
Customers may effect purchases over the internet where payment information, such as credit card details, account numbers, payee name and addresses, are entered in the browser. Such information, if harvested and subsequently revealed, may allow the attacker to carry out fraudulent activities or blackmail the customer/organization. SafeQuard can be similarly used to encrypt payment information to ensure that the details cannot be revealed to attackers in the future.
Emails
SafeQuard encrypted email carries out enterprise-grade quantum-safe encryption on emails. It operates on both Microsoft365 (as an add-in) and Gmail (as a Chrome extension). Features include:
- Interoperable between Office365 and Gmail
- Automatic key management, no need for any key exchange or shared passwords between communicating parties
- End-to-end encryption NIST FIPS 203 PQC algorithm (MLKEM) to ensure long-term safety.
Online messaging
The online chat functionality on the Internet is convenient for customers to reach out to the enterprise for specific help. These could include problems relating to the account or specific transaction, or it could even be highly sensitive situations where fraud or whistleblowing is reported. Such chat messages should be end-to-end encrypted using SafeQuard to prevent hackers from exploiting such information
