China's Origin Wukong computer integrates post-quantum cryptography, enhancing data security for users globally.
China's Origin Wukong, a superconducting computer, has successfully integrated a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) framework, completing over 1 million secure computational tasks, as reported by Global Times.
This 72-qubit system employs the Origin Rock software module, which safeguards data transmissions against both classical and quantum attacks.
According to developers from the Anhui Province quantum chip laboratory, the PQC architecture helps prevent potential data breaches and future decryption efforts. Current testing is being conducted with various Chinese enterprises and government bodies.
Since its launch more than two years ago, Origin Wukong has attracted 49 million user visits from 192 countries.
This initiative is part of China's broader strategy to establish national post-quantum cryptography standards, with plans to finalize these guidelines within three years to bolster the security of vital infrastructure.
However, in a recent statement, developers from Quantus noted that the cryptocurrency sector remains unprepared for a shift to post-quantum cryptography, despite the progress in quantum computing technology.
