Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Quantropi is a legitimate, venture-backed quantum security company with significant verifiable traction (NATO, STMicroelectronics, Palo Alto Networks) and high technical utility (Y2Q preparedness). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false or exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone', team size '125' vs actual ~25). The score reflects the strong underlying technology and B2B market position, heavily penalized for the inaccuracies and low-effort responses in the submission.

Description
By delivering novel cryptographic solutions that preserve truth and trust, Quantropi is bound to become an iconic enabler of quantum-secure data communications as we prepare for Y2Q. Our next-generation technology protects data in motion and data at rest — defending against both today’s threats and tomorrow’s Quantum-based attacks, while eliminating “Steal now, Crack later” reputational risk. Powered by quantum mechanics expressed as linear algebra, only Quantropi’s patented solutions are capable of all three prerequisites for end-to-end cryptographic quantum security: Trust, Uncertainty, and Entropy. MASQ™ is the Trust offering in Quantropi’s TrUE line of cryptographic solutions providing quantum-secure asymmetric encryption, also known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC). MASQ™ can be used for Key Exchange, Digital Signature and Zero Knowledge Proof. It supports NIST PQC finalists, as well as Quantropi’s novel PQC, which offers significantly smaller digital signature sizes by comparison. QEEP™ is the Uncertainty offering in Quantropi’s TrUE line of cryptographic solutions, providing quantum-secure symmetric encryption that’s up to 18 times faster than AES-256, suitable for enterprise and IoT deployments. SEQUR™ is the Entropy offering in Quantropi’s TrUE line of cryptographic solutions. This product family provides quantum random number generation and quantum-secure distribution to enable the full security potential of current cryptographic algorithms protecting systems and networks. When it comes to Y2Q preparedness, only QiSpace™ offers TrUE quantum security without the need for new and expensive hardware or infrastructure. And only QiSpace™ has the crypto agility to support a range of available PQC standards, in addition to Quantropi’s proprietary algorithm. This is about readying your organization to deliver on its business promise, whatever’s next. That’s mission-critical. With Quantropi, QiSpace™ and TrUE… Bring It On.
