BTQ's CASH architecture delivers industry-leading cryptographic performance, processing up to 1 million digital signatures per second and executing encryption tasks up to 5x faster than competing solutions.
CASH is compact, energy-efficient, and post-quantum ready, supporting both today's standard encryption and next-generation quantum-safe algorithms in a single, integrated system.
With applications across payments, IoT, identity, and telecom, CASH positions BTQ Technologies at the forefront of securing global infrastructure against emerging quantum threats.
VANCOUVER, BC, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. (the "Company") (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3) (OTCQX: BTQQF), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce new performance benchmarks for its proprietary CASH (Cryptographically Agile Secure Hardware) architecture—demonstrating world-class speed, energy efficiency, and readiness for mass-market adoption in the era of quantum-secure technology.
CASH is a revolutionary cryptographic architecture that brings together the core elements of secure hardware—memory, encryption, and digital signatures—into a unified, compact, and energy-efficient system. It's designed to protect digital devices and systems from both today's cyber threats and the rapidly approaching risks posed by quantum computing.
Performance That Sets a New Standard
Recent performance tests of the CASH architecture reveal significant advantages over traditional solutions:
Up to 5x faster encryption processing (AES) compared to leading secure hardware.
1 million digital signatures per second, making it ideal for real-time verification and authentication.
Ultra-low power consumption —less than a microjoule per cryptographic operation.
Compact design, enabling integration into constrained environments like smart cards, IoT devices, and hardware wallets.
"CASH is built for the future—faster, leaner, and capable of securing the world's data in a post-quantum world," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ Technologies. "We've proven that top-tier cryptographic performance can be delivered in an architecture compact and efficient enough for widespread deployment."
The rise of quantum computing poses a real and growing threat to traditional encryption. Enterprises and governments are already seeking quantum-resilient solutions—and BTQ's CASH architecture is engineered to meet this demand.
CASH supports both today's widely used cryptographic standards (like AES and RSA) and next-generation post-quantum algorithms (such as those shortlisted by NIST). This dual capability makes it an ideal foundation for modern secure systems that need to operate safely both now and in the quantum future.
Unlocking Market Opportunities
CASH's performance opens new doors for BTQ Technologies across industries where security, speed, and efficiency are critical, including:
Financial services and payments
Telecom and 5G infrastructure
Healthcare and identity authentication
IoT and embedded devices
As global interest in quantum-safe infrastructure accelerates, BTQ's innovations position it as a leader in one of the most critical technology transitions of our time.
