Credissential Planned Integration of Post-Quantum Cryptography Tools Into Antenna Platform

(TheNewswire)Calgary, Alberta / TheNewswire / January 7, 2024 – Credissential Inc.(“Credissential” or the “Company”) (OCT: IPTNF) (FSE:9YZ), a vertically integrated AI softwaredevelopment company, ispleased to announce the Company intends to commence aquantum-resistant security implementation initiative via theintegration of Post-Quantum Cryptography (“PQC”) into itsAntenna platform. “Quantumcomputing has long been seen as a promising frontier of technologyalongside of artificial intelligence, largely due to the potential forit to solve highly technical and complex problems that are essentialfor making breakthroughs in multiple verticals,” said Colin Frost, CEO of Credissential. “By adopting post-quantum cryptography,we’re not only protecting our clients’ data but also demonstratingour commitment to staying at the forefront of securityinnovation.”Antenna is a secure payment and file transfer platformfocused on privacy and security. Its secure payment platform ensuresthat every transaction is encrypted from end-to-end with the objectiveof mitigating fraud and other cybersecurity risks associated withelectronically sending/receiving monies and other securetransmissions. The Antenna platform is fully commercialized and allowsusers to send unique QR codes to transfer files in exchange for fiatcurrency, ensuring files are inaccessible and fully encrypted untilpayment is complete.Antenna’s planned quantum integration (the“QuantumInitiatives”) is expected to utilizeopen-source libraries, including liboqs from the Open Quantum Safeproject and oqs-openssl, which is anticipated to provide access toNIST-recommended PQC algorithms such as Kyber and Dilithium. Thesealgorithms have been designed by their developers to resist attacksfrom both classical and quantum computers, making them ideal forsafeguarding Antenna’s user data. The planned Quantum Initiativesaim to future-proof the platform’s security against emerging quantumcomputing threats, ensuring protection for digital transactions andsensitive data.Credissential’s planned integration of PQC into itsproduct stack reflects its commitment to innovation and the protectionof its clients’ data. Updates on the progress of the integration anddevelopment will be shared periodically, with the full deployment ofthe Quantum Initiatives expected to be complete over the next 12months. The planned integration of PQC into Antenna sets the stage fora broader quantum-resilient security framework acrossCredissential’s product suite. Potential applicationsinclude:Quantum-Safe Digital IdentityManagement: Enhancing the security of theIdentity Lock Box with quantum-resistant cryptography. Cross-Industry Solutions: Expanding the platform’s reach to industries withstringent security requirements, such as healthcare, finance, andgovernment. Post-Quantum Cryptography refers to cryptographicalgorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. Byutilizing algorithms such as Kyber and Dilithium, Kyber is aquantum-resistant key encapsulation mechanism designed to secure keyexchanges by using lattice-based cryptography, ensuring robustprotection against both classical and quantum attacks. Dilithium is aquantum-safe digital signature algorithm that provides fast,efficient, and secure authentication, making it ideal for verifyingidentities and safeguarding communications in a post-quantumworld.Planned ImplementationTimelineThe integration process will be carried out in phasesto ensure a seamless transition and minimal disruption forusers:Assessment and Planning (approx. 3Months) Evaluate the existing system architecture of Antenna toasses compatibility and potential integration barriers with PQCalgorithms. Identify critical areas for cryptographic upgrades,including key exchanges, digital signatures, and dataencryption. Development and Integration (approx.6 Months) Deploy open-source libraries such as liboqs andoqs-openssl into the platform’s architecture. Replace traditional algorithms like RSA and ECC withPQC algorithms like Kyber (for key exchanges) and Dilithium (fordigital signatures). Testing and Validation (approx. 3Months) Conduct testing to validate the functionality andperformance of the integrated algorithms. Perform penetration testing and security audits toensure resistance against quantum-level attacks. Deployment and Monitoring(ongoing) Roll out the updated security measures across theAntenna platform. Continuously monitor and update the implementation toincorporate the latest advancements in post-quantumcryptography. As noted herein, the Company intends on integrating PQCinto the Antenna platform and the Credissential product stack. As ofthe date hereof, the Company has not integrated PQC or other quantumsecurity initiatives into Antenna or the Credissential product stack.The Company will provide further updates on the planned integration ofthe Quantum Initiatives described herein. There is no guarantee thatthe Company will successfully integrate PQC or other QuantumInitiatives into Antenna or the Credissential product stack. Restricted Share Unit IssuanceThe Company also announces the issuance of 7,000,000Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") of the Company to certainconsultants pursuant to its RSU Plan adopted by the shareholders onFebruary 23, 2024. The RSUs will vest immediately and are subject to afour month and one day hold period.About Credissential Credissential is an AI powered financial servicessoftware developer, currently focused on the development andcommercialization of its flagship products, Credissential, Dealerflowand Antenna.
