Quantum Cryptography Market Analysis to 2026 | New Technologies Transforming the Global Business - Cole of Duty

Blockchain is fast becoming an integral part of emerging technology ecosystem with multiple use cases across industry verticals and we at Pinaki Softcon are at the helm of using this technology for fulfilling various use cases for our clients. We have not only implemented this technology to bring use cases at living, instead have been pivotal in extending our knowledge base and learnings to the wider community for adoption. Across the globe, we have deputed our experts who work on this technology and acts as a change agent by imparting classroom and virtual training on this technology. Our expert network solves client problem by using this technology from Backoffice and front office perspective which spans across various geographies along with the heterogeneous digital landscape.

Technology adoption is fast accelerating disruption because technology firms form a major share of companies that entered and exited S&P 500 Index. Blockchain is one of such technology which is more than just digital because it is distributed along with tamper-proof database which allows participants to share data and transact based on a single version of the truth. These are also considered as a digital ledger or logs which records electronic transaction that occurs between two parties and these two parties do not know each other and directly engage in a peer to peer network of connected computers. Rather than relying on the third-party middleman, the network collectively reaches agreement or consensus on which transactions are legitimately using a consensus mechanism.

Once the network approves the transactions, the same gets posted to the digital log. In this technology, the attempted transactions are first grouped together in a block, which then gets verified all at once (by proof of work mechanism) and added to a long chain of blocks, which is the reason it is called as Blockchain. These blocks are linked together using cryptography so that it cannot be surreptitiously edited or tampered with the transaction data on a block once it is added to the chain. The transaction details are transparent and verifiable by the public; however, the identities of the buyer and seller are hidden behind their public username, which is long alphanumeric addresses.

People do confuse blockchain with bitcoin, however, the later uses the technology which is based upon the fundamentals of blockchain. The creator of the bitcoin ingeniously derived a system using computer networks, cryptography and game theory which is collectively called as crypto-economics and are used for parties around the world who do not need to know each other to conduct and record transactions. The bitcoin cryptocurrency which is also called as a token is the digital currency that users send to transfer value. Other such examples based upon the fundamental of blockchain are the smart contracts which are a type of contract written as software rather than being in the legal text. In theory, contracts written in the software are cheaper to interpret, because their operations are literally mathematical and automatic which makes them difficult to be interpreted and there would be no need for expensive legal battles.

Blockchain technology is fast emerging in different industry verticals because it is capable of storing the information in the chain and is nearly impossible to be identified and thus industry verticals like financial services, insurance and mining are widely using this technology for storing and transmitting the information in their value chain. The fact of the matter is that this technology is promising if implemented correctly with the right partnership and industry-wide support which can enable multiple business use cases like diamond batch tracking, insurance premium and claim processing, land record maintenance etc. It wont be unfair to say that, we are still in the early days across geographies in terms of adoption of technology and many institutions across industries and exchanges are doing POCs and beta testing.

The KETS Quantum Security team

Press release issued: 1 July 2020

KETS Quantum Security, world leaders in integrated quantum cryptography hardware solutions, pitched against ten other start-ups from Bristols world-leading tech scene to win the Best Elevator Pitch audience vote at Tuesdays inaugural online version of SETsquared Bristols Tech-Xpo.

SETsquared Bristol is a University of Bristol led incubator, supporting the growth of technology-based businesses, helping them move from initial ideas into commercial viability.

Tech-Xpo is SETsquared Bristols flagship pitch, demo, connect showcase, open to its startup members.

Founded in 2016 in the University of Bristols Quantum Engineering Technology Labs, KETS work with partners across telecommunications, data centres, governments, finance, and defence.

In summer 2018 it secured 2million in seed funding, 1million of which was from Innovate UK and the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.

Chris Erven, CEO of KETS said: Were incredibly excited to win the Tech Xpo pitch competition. Its validation that we can no longer ignore the need to transition to quantum-safe digital security.

KETS win comes at a key time in the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme with the government today announcing in its UK Research and Development Roadmap the need to address complex and pressing challenges including security.

SETsquared Bristols first virtual Tech-Xpo attracted its largest audience in its 16-year history of over 190 UK and international investors, business partners and colleagues. It took the decision shortly after lockdown that social distancing would not stop its flagship annual showcase to ensure its startups got the network access and business support they were seeking at this challenging time.

Previous Tech-Xpo pitchers have gone on to achieve great success. 2018 winners, LettUs Grow, have since raised 3million to finance piloting of their sustainable farm scale systems.

Neighbourly, who pitched in 2015, is now a multi-award-winning CSR platform with community partnerships including Aldi, M&S and Starbucks. And last years winner, University of Bristol spin-out Vitamica, is working towards commercialisation of its rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Steve Edwards, Centre Director at SETsquared Bristol, said: Supporting rapid growth of tech startups has never been more vital to rebuild our economy, and Im grateful to bring such a collaborative network together at events such as Tech-Xpo.

Business Private Equity Clubs Denis Mullan said: Tech-Xpo is a great opportunity to see early startups developing ideas into investable businesses. It is exciting to hear SETsquareds ambitions for collaboration.

Sponsors of Tech-Xpo 2020 were VWVandCorrigan Accountants, both of which are long standing Lawyers-in-Residence at SETsquared Bristol, offering pro-bono services to its ventures.

Nathan Guest, Corporate Partner and Head of VWVs Technology sector, said: We are delighted to sponsor Tech-Xpo for the 10th consecutive year. Our role asLawyer-in-Residence toSETsquared Bristol remains a foundation of our support to tech and life science start-ups and scaleups in the city region. The inaugural virtual Tech-Xpo 2020 was another brilliant showcase for SETsquared Bristol and the ventures it supports.
