Quantum Security: Revolutionizing the Future of Data Protection

What becomes of our digital life when supercomputers are commonplace? In this situation, experts rely on a field known as quantum security. The more quantum technology that is being invented, the way we defend against sensitive information is also under examination. Encryption techniques currently in place can be made redundant within the next few years. Remaining ahead of the threat posed by supercomputing requires quantum security. This article explores how quantum security is changing the future of data protection and securing systems more than ever.

The Threat to Current Cryptographic Algorithms

Current cryptographic algorithms depend a lot on mathematical problems that it is practically impossible to break using conventional computers. Current algorithms of encryption, like RSA and ECC, depend on the assumption that factoring large numbers or solving discrete logarithms will take thousands of years. Quantum Computers destroy this assumption. These computers can execute calculations at light speed and are capable of breaking these conventional systems within seconds. Therefore, present-day encryption methods will be obsolete and extremely vulnerable very shortly.

To address these threats, quantum security has become a pressing need at once. Quantum security brings in new systems that are quantum-resistant to attacks. Quantum cybersecurity is aimed at setting up new mechanisms to encode, transmit, and decode information securely despite quantum attackers. Governments, research centers, and technology companies have begun to invest heavily in quantum cybersecurity solutions. Their rationale is straightforward: adopt future-proof security solutions in the present, before Quantum Computing can release its threat.

Introducing Post-Quantum Cryptography

Quantum security is no longer a distant concept — it’s soon to be the foundation of global cybersecurity policy. As Quantum Computers are developing, they will make old cryptographic systems redundant. To counter this, researchers and cybersecurity professionals are working on a revolutionary method called Post-Quantum Cryptography. This discipline is all about creating encryption methods that are safe even against future quantum machines.

Unlike traditional techniques like RSA or ECC, Post-Quantum Cryptography is based on mathematical problems difficult for quantum computers to perform. These include encryption techniques based on lattices, hashes, codes, and multivariates. All these techniques provide immunity against both classical and quantum computational attacks.

Government leaders and international institutions are not taking this shift lightly. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has already started to choose and certify the best quantum security algorithms through an ongoing multi-year process. This is a full turnaround in the approach that the cybersecurity community understands protection for digital things — no longer as a dash to be the quickest but as a call for improved smarter defenses.

By integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography into the systems of today, we can create a secure digital world that can withstand even in the age of Quantum Computing.

NCOG is implementing these post-quantum concepts and creating blockchain infrastructure that is ahead of its time in terms of cryptographic security.

The Power and Risk of Quantum Computers

Compared to classical computers, quantum computers operate on completely different principles. Rather than binary bits being 0 or 1, Quantum Computers utilize quantum bits — or qubits, which exist in more than one position simultaneously because of superposition and entanglement. Quantum Computers can hence compute many calculations at the same time, solving complex problems much faster than any classical computer.

While this computer capacity brings science, medical, and artificial intelligence advancements, it also brings gigantic risks. Quantum Computers can be used by ill-intentioned parties to crack existing cryptography systems protecting everything from bank transfers to government information and personal data. Fear of cracking digital trust has fostered an extreme need for quantum security solutions.

Among the worst is the “harvest now, decrypt later” strategy. Already, encrypted data has been being gathered with intent to decrypt it when Quantum Computers are powerful enough. This pending threat puts today’s secret communications and sensitive records to risk. To prevent this, quantum security…

ML-KEM post-quantum TLS in AWS KMS, ACM, And AWS SM

ML-KEM post-quantum TLS supports Secrets Manager, ACM, and AWS KMS.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce that three services now implement the latest hybrid post-quantum key agreement TLS standards. Each AWS Region supports ML-KEM for hybrid post-quantum key agreement in non-FIPS endpoints via AWS KMS, ACM, and AWS Secrets Manager. Hybrid post-quantum key agreement is optional for the AWS Secrets Manager Agent, based on the Rust SDK. Customers can incorporate secrets in apps using end-to-end post-quantum TLS.

Three AWS security-critical services with the biggest post-quantum secrecy demand were chosen. These three AWS services served CRYSTALS-Kyber, ML-KEM's predecessor. ML-KEM will replace CRYSTALS-Kyber across all AWS service endpoints in 2026.

AWS use of post-quantum encryption

AWS will follow its post-quantum cryptography migration approach. AWS plans to offer ML-KEM across all HTTPS-endpointed AWS services in the next years as part of this pledge and the post-quantum shared responsibility paradigm. Customers connecting to AWS HTTPS endpoints must upgrade their TLS clients and SDKs to enable ML-KEM. This will prevent further harvesting and identify quantum computing risks later. When clients provide ML-KEM, AWS will let HTTPS endpoints pick.

AWS's open-source FIPS-140-3-validated cryptographic library, AWS Libcrypto (AWS-LC), and its open-source TLS implementation, s2n-tls, used across AWS service HTTPS endpoints facilitate hybrid post-quantum key agreement negotiations.

Effect of hybrid post-quantum ML-KEM on TLS performance

An ECDH+ML-KEM hybrid key agreement requires the TLS handshake to deliver more data and perform more cryptographic operations than an ECDH-only key agreement. Switching from a classical to a hybrid post-quantum key agreement will add 1600 bytes to the TLS handshake. ML-KEM cryptographic procedures need 80–150 microseconds more processing time. The initial TLS connection fee is subtracted from the total HTTP requests sent throughout the connection's lifetime.

AWS wants TLS to migrate smoothly to hybrid post-quantum key agreement. To help customers understand the impacts of hybrid post-quantum key agreement with ML-KEM, this study benchmarks typical workloads.

AWS evaluated the number of AWS KMS GenerateDataKey requests per second a single thread can transmit serially between an Amazon EC2 C6in.metal client and the public AWS KMS endpoint using the AWS SDK for Java v2. The client and server were in US-West-2.

Classical TLS connections to AWS KMS utilised the P256 elliptic curve for key agreement, whereas hybrid post-quantum TLS connections used the X25519 with ML-KEM-768. Your performance characteristics will vary depending on your instance type, workload profiles, parallelism and thread utilisation, network location, and capabilities. HTTP request transaction rates were measured with active and disabled TLS connection reuse.

AWS found that hybrid post-quantum TLS with regular SDK configuration settings has negligible performance impact. AWS testing showed that hybrid post-quantum TLS lowered maximum TPS rate by 0.05 percent for a default-case sample workload. The maximum TPS rate was only lowered by 2.3% when SDK settings were modified to force a fresh TLS handshake for each request, according to AWS.

AWS service endpoints that support CRYSTALS-Kyber—ML-KEM's predecessor—will continue to do so through 2025. We will progressively stop supporting CRYSTALS-Kyber installations after clients move to ML-KEM. If they use earlier Java SDKs with CRYSTALS-Kyber support, customers should upgrade to the latest AWS SDK with ML-KEM support. Customers using the general release of the AWS SDK for Java v2 can upgrade from CRYSTALS-Kyber to ML-KEM without code modifications.

After CRYSTALS-Kyber is removed from AWS service HTTPS endpoints in 2026, users that are actively negotiating it and do not upgrade their AWS Java SDK v2 clients will have their clients gradually regress to a traditional key agreement.

A hybrid post-quantum key agreement

If you're using the AWS SDK for Rust, add the rustls package to your crate and enable the prefer-post-quantum feature flag to enable the hybrid key agreement.

Call.postQuantumTlsEnabled(true) to enable hybrid post-quantum key agreement in your AWS Common Runtime HTTP client using the AWS SDK for Java 2.x.

First, add the AWS Common Runtime HTTP client to your Java dependencies.

Your Maven dependencies should include AWS Common Runtime HTTP client. The latest version is recommended by AWS. To utilise ML-KEM, require 2.30.22 or later.

Second, enable post-quantum TLS in your Java SDK client.

Set up your AWS service client with the post-quantum TLS-configured AwsCrtAsyncHttpClient.

Things to try

Tips for utilising this post-quantum client:

Benchmark and load test: AWSCrtAsyncHttpClient uses AWS Libcrypto on Linux and is performance-optimized. If you haven't seen the performance gains over the SDK HTTP client by default, use the AwsCrtAsyncHttpClient. After using AwsCrtAsyncHttpClient, activate post-quantum TLS.

Try joining from several networks: Your request may be refused by intermediary hosts, proxies, or DPI firewalls based on its network path. Your IT administrators or security team may need to update your firewalls to unblock these new TLS methods.

In conclusion

ML-KEM hybrid key agreements are supported by three security-critical AWS service endpoints. When TLS connection reuse is allowed, hybrid post-quantum TLS may have no performance impact. AWS testing showed that executing AWS KMS GenerateDataKey only reduced maximum transactions per second by 0.05 percent.

As of version 2.30.22, the AWS SDK for Java v2 enables ML-KEM-based hybrid key agreement for Linux-based AWS Common Runtime HTTP clients. Turn on TLS post quantum key agreement in your Java SDK client setup immediately.

AWS plans to offer ML-KEM-based hybrid post-quantum key agreement on all AWS service HTTPS endpoints over the next several years as part of its cryptography migration strategy. AWS customers must update their TLS clients and SDKs to ensure ML-KEM key agreement when connecting to AWS service HTTPS endpoints. This will prevent further harvesting and identify quantum computing risks later.

The void state is SOOOOOOOOOOO easy once you actually realize what it is. One major reason why you aren't "succeeding" in the void state is because you *drumroll, please* put it on a pedestal. Duh, just like everything else. One thing I've noticed is how Loablr overcomplicated the void state so much. You guys acted like you were becoming a demi-god or an ethereal being going to Jupiter from your bedroom. You think before bed when you are going to lay down and affirm for the void "Okay...whew well it's time to go to the void" Baby you ARE the void. The void state is literally just forgetting about your body until you fall asleep. That's why you cant hear, or see, or feel anything because you assumed a new part of you. That's why the distraction technique works so well. It is because you were easily swayed and distracted from your body, from your physical, and now only in your head. "So how do I enter it?" It's really up to you. Do you want to peacefully go to sleep and wake up in it? Do you want to affirm it? Do you want to do sats? Whatever YOU feel comfortable doing. Personally, the way I entered the void was through sats. I love sats so much, and I use it for almost every single one of my manifestations. Lie down in any position you want. (I personally chose my back.) Close your eyes and feel your whole body relax. Breathe in and out until your mind goes completely blank. Then affirm. Say "I" and breathe in "Am" and Breathe out. Repeat this process until you feel symptoms (floating, falling, etc) You may see it get pitch black behind your eyes, that's when you know You're in the void. (credits to reddit I got the affirming technique from there) One major tip is to make a rule that you always wake up in the void. You could affirm throughout the day how you wake up in the void on command/every night with ease. Thank you so much for reading! Feel free to ask questions, Anons are always open <3

[arayapendragon]

manifestation can be however you like

you don't need to affirm, persist, visualize, live in the end, robotically affirm, or write down affirmations in a journal to confirm your desire is already yours. neither do you need to detach, let go, or enter the sabbath state.

you can do whatever you want to manifest your desires, and the same goes for shifting. you don't need a method or any special technique. if you're doing something that feels right, that feels enough, then stick to it. you don't need to step out of your comfort zone or put in effort to get what you want. manifestation is effortless and supposed to be fun. don't force yourself to do something you aren't enjoying.

i just manifested a vape out of the blue, even though the environment in my 3d was such that i would most likely not get one. i didn't detach, i didn't do anything extra. in fact, i was obsessed with my desire (nic cravings are NOT fun guys..). i was doubting, i was wavering. i was starting to think i wouldn't get it at all. still, i manifested to the best of my ability. listened to subliminals, acted like i already had it (just a few times) and felt the joy and relief of a nic buzz before actually having one. that's literally all i did. i was so obsessed and couldn't "detach" or "let go" like i normally do, and i still got it. this goes to show that there's no ideal mindset, no ideal state, no ideal technique for shifting and manifesting. you can literally do anything, or do nothing, and still get your desire. as long as you do what you like without taking the fun away from the process, i assure you that you'll get your desire. there's no one way to manifest or shift. i literally just shifted to this parallel cr where i have my desire in under an hour. i decided, and so i received. if i can do it, so can you my friend ;)

How to 'let go'.

To know how to 'let go' you have to understand what it is. I highly suggest you to read this post first.

Letting go is not a act of forgetting but one of perseverance. It's meaning is quite literally it's opposite. Letting go is not you leaving everything behind and focusing on your life but living regardless. It is the celebration of being alive.

No matter what I write, it won't change the fact that everything you 'want' exists. Everything is already available to you. It has happened and only waiting for you to acknowledge it. The integration of a desire in your reality does not mean that it didn't exist before in your life. It's you realising that it was always there. Staring at you right in the face when you were 'waiting for it to arrive'.

To let go you must know, you must know that searching for something outside of you when you're it is useless. I understand your want, your need, your desparation. But it's literally here? The thing you want is already your reality. Everything is happening now. Why aren't you acknowledging the truth?

Perseverance is something you do, not caring what the physical plane is showing you. The physical plane is you. It is your conscious decision on something. You keep moving forward. You keep rising and falling but you keep going. That is what letting go is.

It's your ability to keep moving forward, your ability to keep doing what you want no matter the present or the result that you seek so hard. It is you never stopping. Now I don't mean that you keep going and never rest. Remember, to move forward you must create momentum. To create momentum you keep doing what you like. What you know you want to do.

Doesn't matter what the world says. If you need or want to rest right now, you must do it. Because that's what's important. That's what you want. That doesn't stop the flow of life. It keeps life going. Your decision to do what you want to do keeps life moving.

It doesn't matter if you spiraled for a million hours or if you feel like you ruined your chances to shift/manifest. It doesn't matter if you think you can't do it or whatever the fuck people think these days. The main most important question is what do you want to do right now? What do you want right now in this moment?

The only way to move forward is to keep doing what you like. Doing what you want in the present. It is focusing on one thing at a time. Whether it is playing a game on your phone, taking a nap, eating an apple, crying your heart out or screaming at the world because you're mad. It is the continuing of the cycle of life. It is the continuous energy in motion. Your emotions felt, seen and heard. Your existence acknowledged and appreciated.

It includes every decision you take. Small or big. It includes you acknowledging yourself in every decision. It includes you looking after your wants, your needs, yourself. Stop running after your desire and run after you.

That's all you need to do to let go. It's all letting go is. It was always just moving with yourself and not leaving yourself behind. You are your greatest asset. Stop waiting for people to help you. Get up, cry and move on. Feel and love. You were yours before the world took you. Come back home to yourself and live.

Entry 03

If you guys use subliminals, this one has been my absolute favourite and go to.

I’ve been listening to it as I go to sleep the paat few days and oh my god. I don’t usually feel symptoms or such strong ones, but this has me feeling like I’m floating and detached from my body within the first minute.

I also get crazy vivid dreams with this too, and remember them very well the next day.

I’ve never had a sub give me such strong and consistent effects. And trust me I’ve been around THE BLOCK.

Also I’ve occasionally been listening to some chakra singing bowl videos throughout the day and I feel like they’ve worked. Especially third eye and crown ones.

SUCCESS STORIES ON REVISING DEATH!

[Part one]

Since a lot of people came to me, asking for help about revising death, I thought why not share everything here?! So here are these. More parts are available ♡

Parts: 1,2,3

[daylightstring]

the law of assumption, manifestation, quantum jump ect, ect, are not concepts which are used only when you need to attain something. they are simply lifestyles and way of living. for example, imagine someone who wants to manifest clear skin. at first, they start affirming things like “my skin is clear and glowing,” but they’re doing it only when they’re upset about a breakout. they’re using the law like a band-aid, only applying it when things go wrong.

but someone who truly lives the law doesn’t wait for a problem to show up. they already assume they are someone with clear, healthy skin, all the time. it’s part of how they see themselves, how they carry themselves, what they expect from life. they don’t go to the mirror searching for flaws. they expect to look radiant. they eat, move, and rest like someone who loves and trusts their body. they don’t react, they live in the identity of someone who’s already whole. that’s their natural state of being, and our favourite metaphor about reality being a mirror shows this, as by already assuming being someone who has clear skin…that’s what their reality will reflect!

Another thing about the Outer Wilds protagonist that I can't get out of my head: We never get to find out what our instrument was. All Travelers leave with one, so they can signal home, but we never see our own because we never find a place to make camp, or have enough time to sit down and let everyone know that we made it. It breaks my heart.

the beauty of quantum immortality 🦋

“what happens after i die?”, is a question that has been asked by many throughout the course of history. yet, us humans were never able to find the one true answer to what awaits us once our life in this reality comes to an end. unless...? ;)

this brings forth the concept of quantum immortality, which is a theory stating that our consciousness will continue to experience lifetimes where we are alive, after we “die” in this timeline or reality. Hugh Everett was an american physicist, who proposed the very fundamentals of quantum mechanics in his PhD in the 1950’s. he introduced the idea of quantum events leading to the universe branching into several different timelines, where each timeline represents a different outcome. therefore, if we choose to, we can continue to keep experiencing timelines, or realities, where we survive, thus leading us to believe we are “immortal”. this is known as the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI).

circa 1980’s, the physicist and cosmologist Max Tegmark delved again into the concept of quantum immortality, suggesting that we actually die many times in our lifetime, however, our consciousness continues to experience timelines where we are alive.

here’s an analogy of quantum immortality to better help you understand: imagine a person playing a game of russian roulette; hence, the gun leads to different quantum outcomes. - basis the MWI, the gun fires (due to an “upward spin” in a subatomic particle) in some timelines/realities, killing the person. - while in other timelines/realities, it doesn’t fire (due to a “downward spin” in a subatomic particle), so the person survives. from the point of view of the person in the experiment, they would only experience the timelines where they survive.

the very fundaments of quantum immortality and reality shifting intertwine with each other when inspected at a closer level. both focus on the existence of an infinite amount of realities, and seeing as we shift realities for every decision taken, even the smallest ones, it can be deduced that we permashift to either an alternate version of our CR, or any other DR after we experience death in this reality. meaning, we can experience whatever it is we desire after death, there are no limitations or set rules.

to answer the question at the beginning, there is no definite answer to where we go after death. given that the magic systems for this reality are the law of assumption and the law of attraction, it can be said that we will shift wherever we believe or assume we go after death, thus, in a way, demonstrating quantum immortality.

a few resources you can explore that discuss quantum immortality are:

Our Mathematical Universe by Max Tegmark

Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku

The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene

Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed by Jim Al-Khalili

The r/quantumimmortality community on reddit, though note that the users will have differing opinions of the concept, so it is best to conduct your own research.

What actually makes us shift?

Nothing. Yup you heard that right. Literally nothing makes us shift. You don't even have to try to shift, to shift. People have shifted even when they didn't know about shifting. They have shifted even when they didn't believe in shifting. People have shifted regardless of what they see, think or feel. The question is how? You think, "When I'm trying so hard how can they all shift so easily?"

Because it's our nature. It's incorporated in our being. It's our existence. You can't try to be something you already are. I don't think you understand properly. Shifting for our brain is the same as breathing is for our body. It is the way things are. It's that easy. The only reason you think it's not is because you're conditioned to believe that way. The good thing is shifting doesn't require belief. It requires your existence. And you're existing aren't you? That's all you need.

Nothing else matters. Nothing else can ever stop you. Because even if you think you're not shifting to your DR, you're shifting to a reality where you haven't shifted to your DR (yet). Awareness is always shifting. Your awareness is always switching between realities. The question is, is your conscious mind able to realise that? That you're constantly shifting? Without your conditioned beliefs coming in the way? Can you?

The only thing you need to do is know. I say that quite a lot. And I don't mean that know that you'll shift. It doesn't even have to mean that know that you're in your DR (even tho you are). It's just the realisation that no matter what you think or feel, shifting is something you're always doing. You're always existing. No matter where.

That's all you need. Forget about being in your DR for a second. Forget about trying any method. Sit with yourself right now. Look around you. Feel your breathing. That's shifting. This is what shifting is. Not the symptoms, not a sudden change in the physical plane. Just breathing. Going from one breath to another. Changing awareness with your breaths. This is how easy it is.

Return to your core because that's all there is. From a moment to a moment. That's you. That's how you shift. Don't look at the physical plane as rigid or think why isn't it changing. Breath and know that change is not something you do but something you be.

So trust yourself. Trust that you can shift because really, that's what you've been doing all your life. Shifting is not something you discovered. Shifting is a realisation of already being. There is no shift greater than you and no method stronger than you. A creation cannot escape it's creator. Shifting is your birthright and it was always will be.

Now, stop holding on to something that is literally you. You're grasping shifting desparately, wanting and full of need. It's not going anywhere. It's you. It goes where you go. Does what you do. It's yours to hold, to cradle gently and experience. You're the root it grows from. As long as you're here, it'll grow and grow and grow. With you. For you. As far as you want. Shifting and you are the same being. One cannot exist without the other.

Realise, be and shift.
