## What does evolutionQ do?

evolutionQ is a quantum-safe cybersecurity company founded in 2015 that develops cryptographic solutions to protect against threats from quantum computing. The company addresses harvest now-decrypt later (HNDL) risks and zero-day vulnerabilities through post-quantum cryptographic resilience.

The company offers two primary products: BasejumpSKI, which protects critical applications using a multimodal combination of symmetric key infrastructure, classical standards-based asymmetric key cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography; and BasejumpQDN, which provides quantum networking and quantum key distribution (QKD) capabilities. 

evolutionQ also provides professional services including quantum risk assessments, quantum-safe executive workshops, and quantum roadmap and strategy development to help organizations transition to quantum-safe systems.

The company was founded by three scientists from the University of Waterloo: Dr. Michele Mosca (CEO), Dr. Norbert Lutkenhaus (CTO), and Dr. David Jao (Chief Cryptographer), who are recognized experts in quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography. evolutionQ has headquarters in Waterloo, Canada and Aachen, Germany, and raised $7 million in external funding in 2022. The company serves critical industries that need to prepare their cryptographic infrastructure for the quantum computing era.
