LAS VEGAS, January 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tachyum® today announced that it has ported all four of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) quantum-safe algorithms across Prodigy® software distributions to ensure data center deployments leveraging the company’s universal processor are quantum-resistant and future-proofed for data security.
Quantum computing is a powerful emerging technology that enables much higher performance for certain algorithms, such as optimization and molecular simulation. Quantum computers operate in fundamentally different ways from traditional computers and pose a threat to data security with Shor’s algorithm – a quantum-computing algorithm that is predicted to break current data security processes within the next 5 years.
Tachyum’s software engineering team has ported and verified the four quantum-resistant asymmetric algorithms selected by NIST to Prodigy – ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA and Falcon. Prodigy also supports the quantum-safe AES-256 standard, which has already been optimized. Tachyum’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) will run on all Prodigy platforms.
"Tachyum takes security very seriously – from both a hardware and software perspective – so the development of quantum computer-proof data security methods is critical to us maintaining such a commitment," said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, founder and CEO of Tachyum. "As such, we will continue to monitor future cryptograph standards to ensure that Prodigy-based systems remain capable of providing the highest level of security and optimum performance for customers and partners."
As a Universal Processor offering industry-leading performance for all workloads, Prodigy-powered data center servers can seamlessly and dynamically switch between computational domains (such as AI/ML, HPC, and cloud) with a single homogeneous architecture. By eliminating the need for expensive dedicated AI hardware and dramatically increasing server utilization, Prodigy reduces CAPEX and OPEX significantly while delivering unprecedented data center performance, power, and economics. Prodigy integrates 192 high-performance custom-designed 64-bit compute cores, to deliver up to 4.5x the performance of the highest-performing x86 processors for cloud workloads, up to 3x that of the highest performing GPU for HPC, and 6x for AI applications.
