- Forecasters (A. Andrae and T. Edler) predict that communication technology will contribute up to 23% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2030.
- The imminence of the quantum threat requires quantum encryption solutions to safeguard data against this alarming cyber threat.
- While these solutions are needed to protect communication technology, they are also known to be computationally intensive, hence energy demanding.
- The academic study found that the global adoption of symmetric vital systems could save 58% of energy compared to the energy required for asymmetric encryption alternatives.
- Arqit Founder, Chairman, and CEO David Williams said: "Arqit's mission is to keep safe the data of our governments, enterprises, and citizens. The Security Proof published recently demonstrates that Arqit is uniquely well positioned to do this."
- Price Action: ARQQ shares traded lower by 0.95% at $9.41 on the last check Friday.
