QSE SELECTED FOR MEMBERSHIP IN GLOBAL DIGITAL TRUST CONSORTIUM TO SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF SECURE ONLINE IDENTITY AND COMMUNICATIONS

Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. has been selected as a member of the Public Key Infrastructure Consortium.

The PKI Consortium is a global non-profit business league focused on secure digital identity and trusted on-line communications. Its community includes organizations involved in digital certificates, certificate authorities, trust services, technology, telecommunications, financial services, public-sector security, research and cybersecurity.

PKI is part of the trust layer that helps verify websites, digital certificates, software, devices, users and encrypted communications. As quantum computing advances, this trust layer will need to be reviewed and updated so organizations can protect sensitive information in the years ahead.

Quantum Secure's selection reflects recognition of the company's expertise in encryption, digital trust and postquantum cybersecurity. Membership also gives Quantum Secure a forum to take part in industry discussions on PKI best practices, certificate management, crypto-agility and the transition to postquantum cryptography.

For customers, the value is practical. Governments, enterprises and critical infrastructure operators increasingly want security vendors that understand where standards are moving and can help them plan responsibly. Quantum Secure believes participation in this ecosystem can support customer confidence, partner engagement, procurement credibility and international visibility.

"Being selected into the PKI Consortium is a meaningful step for QSE," said Ted Carefoot, chief executive officer of Quantum Secure. "Digital trust is becoming more important as organizations prepare for postquantum security. This membership gives us a place to collaborate with leading industry participants while continuing to position QSE as a practical provider of quantum-ready security solutions for large organizations."

According to Grand View Research, the global public key infrastructure market was estimated at $6.37-billion (U.S.) in 2024 and is projected to reach $19.65-billion (U.S.) by 2030. Quantum Secure believes this growth is being driven by greater demand for secure digital communication, certificate management, connected devices, cloud security, zero-trust architectures and regulatory compliance.

Quantum Secure intends to use the membership to deepen market intelligence, build relevant relationships and stay aligned with the technical priorities shaping digital trust. These priorities are closely connected to Quantum Secure's platform, which is designed to help organizations identify where encryption is used, understand exposure and plan a move toward quantum-resistant security.

"This membership is an opportunity to contribute, learn and build relationships within a respected industry group," added Mr. Carefoot. "For QSE, that supports our broader goal of turning technical leadership into customer value, partner opportunities and long-term commercial growth."
