PQ-REACT Selects Qryptix for Post-Quantum Cryptography Developer Tools in Open Call #2

Qryptix Selection: ASI Enterprise Aps and Next-Tech Association receive funding to create PQC plugins and developer tools for the Eclipse Qrisp IDE through PQ-REACT Open Call #2.Technical Integration: The tools deliver automated vulnerability detection, hybrid cryptography support, and benchmarking aligned with established post-quantum standards for quantum-safe code migration.Infrastructure Acceleration: Three additional projects advance quantum-resistant solutions for smart energy meters, 5G/6G networks, and protocol benchmarking across European use cases.The PQ-REACT project, supported by Horizon Europe, has selected the Qryptix consortium led by ASI Enterprise Aps in collaboration with Next-Tech Association as one of four winners in its €650,000 ($744,000 USD) Open Call #2. The project develops post-quantum cryptographic plugins and tooling for the Eclipse Qrisp quantum programming framework to address computational overhead and energy efficiency in resource-constrained environments.Qryptix integrates a modular plugin suite into Eclipse Qrisp, a high-level quantum programming framework that uses structured Python tools to develop and compile algorithms across quantum backends. The implementation includes the following core capabilities:Code Scanner & Recommender: Automatically detects vulnerable classical cryptographic implementations and suggests NIST-approved PQC replacements.PQC Library Integrator: Provides seamless support for integrating quantum-safe libraries into existing codebases.Cryptographic Agility Tool: Enables hybrid (classical + PQC) modes and simplified algorithm rotation for crypto-agility.Secure Coding Assistant & Benchmarking Engine: Delivers performance analysis (CPU, memory, latency), quantum threat simulation, and compliance reporting aligned with NIST and European standards.This approach facilitates testing and alignment with established cryptographic standards during the initial development phase, with subsequent work directed toward optimization, real-world demonstrators, and public release.The remaining three funded projects address complementary use cases that strengthen post-quantum readiness across critical sectors:Q-SAFE (Smart Energy Meters): Develops quantum-resistant firmware updates for IoT and smart meter devices.QUSENA-6G (5G/6G Networks): Explores integration of quantum key distribution (QKD) with PQC for next-generation mobile networks.QUAS (Protocol Benchmarking): Creates frameworks for securing protocols such as QUIC and SIP with post-quantum cryptography.Coordinated through the PQ-REACT framework and the Horizon Europe programme, these efforts promote crypto-agility and energy-efficient implementations suitable for constrained systems. The combined portfolio supports practical migration pathways aligned with NIST standardization and European infrastructure protection priorities.The Qryptix award equips developers with integrated tools to implement and evaluate post-quantum cryptography in quantum programming and energy-aware environments.Find out more here.—Further articles, reports, and the latest quantum computing news may be found at The Qubit Report.Digital Catapult has selected eleven organisations for the third cohort of its Quantum Technology Access Programme, delivered with the National Quantum Computing Centre’s SparQ programme.
