A report by Harvard University has highlighted the massive advances China has made in multiple fields of cutting-edge technology.
The report by the Belfer Center of Harvard was published on Tuesday. Warning about the prevailing attitudes towards China, the report points out China’s massive growth in manufacturing had enabled advances in research and development.
“It has displaced the US as the world’s top high-tech manufacturer, producing 250 million computers, 25 million automobiles, and 1.5 billion smartphones in 2020,” the report noted.
It warned China was already number one in some areas, while it could overtake the US in others, based on their current trajectories.
The Harvard report argued that China was catching up, and in some cases had overtaken the US in some fields of quantum information science (QIS), which includes quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing. China currently spends four times more than the US on QIS.
“China has also demonstrated the ability to rapidly turn R&D into operational supremacy. In December 2020, only one year after Google’s 53-qubit Sycamore superconducting quantum computer achieved quantum supremacy, China reached the same milestone. That month, a photonic quantum computer created by the University of Science and Technology of China reached quantum supremacy ’10 billion times faster’ than Google, for certain calculations in physics,” the report noted.
Referring to quantum communication, the report said, “Edward Snowden’s 2013 leaks revealing U.S. covert information gathering capabilities in China galvanised Beijing to accelerate progress in quantum communication—the ‘gold standard’ for security. As a result, in 2018 China registered over four times more patents than the US In quantum communication and cryptography (517 to 117).”
Warning about the strategic impact of these advances, the report said, “One expert expects Chinese government and military communications will go black in as little as two to three years, meaning the U.S. would no longer be able to listen in.”
Helix22 is Quantum Immune – Start Your Integration on our Git
Personal and Business Data Security is at the very heart of what we are striving to achieve at BLAKFX. We all know that data theft and cyberattacks are a tangible threat to all of our collective well-being. Business and government simply cannot operate nor thrive if the threat of theft or exposure is omnipresent.
The new era of data security is one that requires new solutions. The era of perimeter defenses is over as it is proving impossible to keep hackers from breaching the perimeter and accessing data. Further E2E encryption based on old models of RSA cryptography will be obsolete when quantum computing becomes mainstream.
Helix22 delivers perfect security assurance due to our genius engineering team that has invented a new model for data security that required an innovative look at the problem. The approach we took was to protect the data itself. Almost all other data security products try to build a perimeter or being fanatic on user credentials. However, once the product is breached or a password is stolen, even if it is 2FA or encrypted, your firms data is in the clear.
You see, the Helix22 cryptography is embedded with the data itself through our inventive and patented process of DNA BindingTM. Therefore, even if credentials are stolen the data cannot be exfiltrated. This means that all data is 100% protected regardless of the type of attack. This holds true for customer and user data as well. No theft of user information is possible.
Data Protection On China Based Servers
You see, with the Helix22 SDK, the data is always secure and protected. It does not matter what server or what app is running, the Helix22 data security cryptography is embedded along with the data, and therefore cannot be regenerated. Your typical encryption app will only protect data while in transition. As in North America or Europe, your data is in the clear until encryption is applied with the key. Most encryption services have no choice but to read, copy and save all transmissions prior to encryption, that is just how they work. The only thing keeping the government from accessing it all, is the willingness of the company in question not to release it. Just ask Apple how much fun the have going to court all the time. In China however, all apps and key services and hosted in China are legally obligated to record a copy of your transmission and forward it to the government. If you aren’t on Chinese servers, they will just ban usage.
However, withdrawing your business from outside of China is not really a long-term viable business solution. We have brilliantly overcome the data privacy conundrum and made it so no one need ever hand over data without your firm or nations consent. Let us just be honest. It is simply not good business to need to withdraw services from China. There is too much revenue on the table. Utilizing Helix22 for your data management strategy, makes China a perfectly viable market as anywhere else in the world.
D2D encryption – Qunatum Ready
We can make this claim as the tech engineers at BLAKFX invented and patented a genuine device2device (D2D) encryption. We manage data security transmission through the truly brilliant and also patented universal Helix22 key service. The Helix22 encryption originates on your network or device, not just when the app is opened. This means, that when data arrives to our key server, it is already encrypted so all it needs to do is issue another key. Signal and Telegram cannot claim this level of security. This key will then only work with the intended device, which generates a matching key required to open the data. In this protocol, we are truly a “zero-knowledge” server so your communications and transmissions remain completely top secret. Even in the event that BLAKFX were subpoenaed, we can honor the request by just handing over the encrypted content…as that is literally all we have. Helix22 also only use keys just one-time and then destroys them. This way the data security is future forward prefect. Therefore, in our unique device-to-device (D2D) world, there is no opportunity at all for any data leak.
This same protocol just described, can be the same with all your 3rd party vendors and suppliers. It does not matter in the least what platform they are running or what device they are using or even the type of data, it is all 100% protected. We do however, strongly advise that all firms involved be utilizing Helix22 due to the nature of the data content. Helix22 can ensure that whatever data they are generating is protected as well.
Let’s take it a step further. Even if your organization were a victim of an internal attack or a victim of malicious open source downloads, there is no reason for concern. Any data that has been forwarded, downloaded, copied or saved cannot be exfiltrated. Period. We have the technology industries foremost data packets which are protected with multi-layered, military grade encryption algorithms that have already proven the ability to withstand penetration testing from MI5 and quantum computing attacks.
One final practical genius of DNA BindingTM is in that it is immediately compatible with whichever system or software you are utilizing. Therefore, any organization can forward information to another and then discuss it and there is immediate privacy.
