Quantum computing will be a massive game-changer for all of us.
According to McKinsey, it could take computing and the ability to solve complex problems quickly to a “whole new level.” They also believe it could create a $1.3 trillion opportunity by the time 2035 rolls around.
Quantum computing is a huge leap forward because “complex problems that currently take the most powerful supercomputer several years could potentially be solved in seconds,” said Charlie Campbell for Time. This could open “hitherto unfathomable frontiers in mathematics and science, helping to solve existential challenges like climate change and food security.”
There’s just one problem.
Quantum computers are so powerful, they can break encryption in a matter of seconds, which is creating a unique opportunity for companies such as 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF).
Along the way, it’s also creating opportunity for Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA), Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), and SentinelOne (NYSE: S).
Quantum computers aren’t just faster versions of existing technology.
They’re a whole new technological beast, which can explore countless possibilities at once, coming to a solution within seconds. That’s why tech giants are throwing billions of dollars at protecting themselves from the potential problem.
“Quantum computers can threaten the security of information systems and the data they contain, including those controlled by the federal government. For instance, quantum computers could defeat widely used encryption methods that individuals, federal agencies, and critical infrastructure entities rely on,” says Marisol Cruz Cain, Director of Information Technology and Cybersecurity at the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Fortunately, 01 Communique Laboratory (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) has a solution.
With first-mover advantage, 01 Communique is already commercial, with two commercial quantum-safe solutions actively protecting customers today from quantum computing issues.
The company sells safe solutions directly to customers through subscription-based software, including email security, remote access, and their upcoming AI marketplace. The company also partners with major enterprises, providing the quantum expertise while their partners handle sales and customer relationships.
In addition, 01 Communique Laboratory just announced the appointment of Dr. Edoardo Persichetti as a strategic advisor to the Company.
Dr. Edoardo Persichetti is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Florida Atlantic University. Before moving to Florida, he was a Postdoc (Adiunkt Naukowy) in the Cryptography and Data Security Group at Warsaw University in Poland. He completed his PhD in Mathematics in late 2012 at University of Auckland, New Zealand.
Dr. Persichetti's research interests revolve around public-key cryptography and number theory, with a particular focus on code-based cryptography. He has an established track record of publications in cryptography. He is a co-author of four distinct submissions to the first NIST Post-Quantum Standardization process. Three of the four algorithms - Classic McEliece, BIKE and HQC reached the conclusive round, with HQC being selected in March 2025 as one of the two new standards for encryption. He has also co-authored three submissions to NIST's "onramp" call for novel signature schemes.
Dr. Persichetti is one of the most acclaimed researchers in code-based cryptography frequently invited to act as a program committee member for major cryptography conferences such as CRYPTO, EUROCRYPT and ASIACRYPT, as well as a peer-reviewer for publications like the Journal of Mathematical Cryptology and Designs, Codes and Cryptography. He was the chair of the 2018 edition of the Code-Based Cryptography Workshop (CBC 2018) and the co-chair of the 2019 and 2020 editions. He is currently serving as the General Chair for EUROCRYPT 2026 and as the Program Chair for PKC 2026. His expertise is called upon regularly to speak at events such as the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM), coding and cryptography by AMS, SIAM and DIMACS, workshops on Post-Quantum Cryptography, and many others.
Dr. Persichetti commented, “Quantum computing is progressing steadily, and its arrival is expected to pose a serious threat to current encryption standards. As someone who has contributed to NIST’s PQC standardization process, I’ve worked extensively on designing secure and efficient algorithms to address this challenge. I’m excited to join 01 Communique as a strategic advisor and collaborate on advancing IronCAPTM - a practical, quantum-safe solution built to meet the needs of today’s enterprises.”
Andrew Cheung of 01 Communique, commented, “Dr. Persichetti brings a combination of academic rigor and practical insight. His leadership in post-quantum cryptography and deep involvement with NIST make him an invaluable asset to our team. We are thrilled to welcome him aboard as we continue to advance our quantum-safe solutions.”
About NIST and PQC Standards
NIST has led the global effort to standardize quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms since 2016. On August 13, 2024, it released the first finalized PQC standards—FIPS 203, 204, and 205 which are designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. These standards are now the benchmark for secure digital communications in the quantum era, and organizations worldwide are being urged to begin migration immediately. 01 Communique’s IronCAPTM technology is designed to align with these standards, offering scalable and interoperable quantum-safe solutions for enterprise environments.
