VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – New migration guidance from NIST warns agencies that cryptographic upgrades will take years, not months, prompting early action across critical systems[1]. Meanwhile, CISA and industry experts outlined federal readiness frameworks for post-quantum adoption at the October 2025 Cyber Leaders Exchange[2], reinforcing the scale of transition ahead. With identities, apps, and encrypted data all on the line, companies already offering quantum-proofed or zero-trust architectures are poised to benefit, including Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE:SCPE) (OTCQB:SCPCF), Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ:ARQQ), Blackberry Limited (NYSE:BB) (TSX:BB), Fastly, Inc. (NYSE:FSLY), and SailPoint, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIL).
A recent forecast from Market.US projects the quantum-safe encryption market to near $10 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 39.5%, driven by demand from government and regulated industries[3]. Urgency is mounting as cyber insurers report ransomware-related costs rose 17% in early 2025 despite falling claim volumes, signaling targeted attacks are forcing budget reallocations ahead of schedule[4].
Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE:SCPE) (OTCQB:SCPCF) (FSE: VN8) announced the release of QSE.API, the first publicly accessible interface delivering quantum-secure entropy to developers, IT teams, and enterprise security architects across industries. The API enables organizations to autonomously generate and deploy true quantum entropy for encryption key creation and secure communications without requiring new hardware, middleware, or external dependencies.
"The release of QSE.API marks a pivotal step in our mission to make quantum-resilient security accessible and autonomous," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of Scope Technologies. "By enabling organizations and developers alike to generate and manage their own quantum entropy keys directly within their systems, we're empowering them with independence and control — the cornerstones of true data security. This API is the cornerstone of our broader mission to democratize post-quantum security."
The QSE.API provides instant access to true entropy generated through post-quantum secure methods, eliminating weaknesses inherent in traditional pseudo-random number generators. Designed for both enterprise-scale systems and developer integration, it delivers quantum-resilient randomness on demand, ensuring the integrity of cryptographic functions well into the quantum era.
Key features include quantum entropy on demand that is NIST SP 800-22 compliant with low latency and high throughput, hardware-free integration that eliminates the need for local RNG hardware while offering optional dedicated endpoints for enterprise clients, and enterprise-grade controls with statistical verification, access logging, and performance monitoring to ensure reliability and compliance.
Alongside the API launch, Scope Technologies released QSEaaS V2, an enhanced version of its Quantum Security-as-a-Service platform. The redesigned interface offers a user experience comparable to mainstream cloud services such as Google Drive or Dropbox while maintaining QSE's zero-trust, quantum-secure foundation. The integrated Decentralized Cloud Storage network leverages IPFS-based encryption and data distribution, providing regionalized redundancy for compliance, high availability, and total data sovereignty. Files are encrypted, fragmented, and distributed across multiple nodes, ensuring that only users retain their encryption keys.
This milestone builds on Scope's earlier Level 1 certification under the CyberSecure Canada program, administered by Cyber Security Canada and recognized by the Standards Council of Canada. This certification validates the company's adherence to robust cybersecurity practices and positions it for government and enterprise contracts requiring verified security frameworks. As an active member of the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), Scope Technologies continues building credibility within defense and critical infrastructure sectors.
The company strategically acquired Cloud Codes, an India-based SSO and cloud platform, expanding its authentication and storage ecosystem. Under transaction terms, Scope paid CAD $100,000 in cash and issued 4,200,000 common shares at $0.40 per share, valuing the deal at CAD $1.78 million. The acquisition brings established infrastructure and revenue-generating capabilities into the Scope ecosystem.
Market positioning appears compelling as the global SSO market is projected to exceed US$6 billion by 2032, while the post-quantum cryptography market is expected to reach $17.69 billion by 2034. Scope's combined focus on authentication and quantum-resistant security positions it at the intersection of two rapidly expanding markets.
Earlier this year, the company secured expansion capital through a C$2.8 million financing round backed by institutional investors, providing runway for continued product development and market expansion.
