DSCI’s recognition of Fortytwo Labs highlights India’s growing push for quantum-safe security
The recognition of a homegrown quantum-safe cryptographic algorithm by the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) may appear, at first glance, to be a niche achievement relevant only to cryptographers.
In reality, it could represent something much larger. As governments, banks, defence agencies, and critical infrastructure operators prepare for the arrival of practical quantum computing, one of the biggest unanswered questions facing India has been whether the country would remain dependent on foreign cryptographic standards and technologies—or develop sovereign capabilities of its own.
That question has become more urgent following the Government of India’s push toward post-quantum readiness through the National Quantum Mission and recent guidance encouraging financial institutions to begin planning for quantum-resistant security architectures.
Against this backdrop, the recognition of a quantum-safe cryptographic algorithm developed by Fortytwo Labs under DSCI’s Cryptographic Security Assessment & Functional Evaluation (C-SAFE) programmemarks an important milestone—not because it immediately solves India’s quantum-security...
