01 Communique Laboratory, Inc.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 9, 2020 / 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. ("01 Communique") (TSXV:ONE) today announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nexusguard Consulting Limited ("NCL") to work towards a formal business partnership in bringing quantum-safe IronCAP cryptography technology (ICC) to customers in the Asia Pacific including Mainland China and Hong Kong. IronCAP's cryptographic system operates on conventional computer systems so users are protected today while being secure enough to safeguard against future attacks from the world of quantum computers.

Andrew Cheung, President of 01 Communique commented, "We are ready to work with NCL, a world-class security solutions provider. Our aim is to enhance product safety from cyberattacks, not only from today's classical computers, but also against future attacks from quantum computers. We believe that now is the time to prepare ourselves for such devastating attacks which will come anytime, and anywhere."

"NCL has been the leading security solutions provider fighting malicious internet attacks," stated Ronald Pong, CEO of NCL. "It is key to be at the forefront of technology to provide our customers peace of mind against future cybersecurity attacks."

The MOU will see NCL and 01 Communique working together on cybersecurity offerings as well as marketing initiatives in the various markets operated by both companies.

About IronCAP and IronCAP X:

IronCAP is at the forefront of the cybersecurity market and is designed to protect our customers from cyber-attacks. IronCAP's patent-pending cryptographic system is designed to protect users and enterprises against the ever-evolving illegitimate and malicious means of gaining access to their data today as well as in the future with the introduction of powerful quantum computers. Based on improved Goppa code-based encryption it is designed to be faster and more secure than current standards. An IronCAP API is available which allows vendors of a wide variety of vertical applications to easily transform their products to ensure their customers are safe from cyber-attacks today and from quantum computers in the future.

IronCAP X, a new cybersecurity product for email/file encryption, incorporates our patent-pending technology and is planned for commercial release on April 23, 2020. The new product has two major differentiations from what is in the market today. Firstly, many offerings in today's market store users secured emails on email-servers for recipients to read, making email-servers a central target of cyber-attack. Our new product, on the other hand, delivers each encrypted message end-to-end to the recipients such that only the intended recipients can decrypt and read the message. Consumer's individual messages are protected, eliminating the hackers' incentive to attack email servers of email providers. Secondly, powered by our patent-pending IronCAP technology, we believe our new product will be the world's first quantum-safe end-to-end email encryption system; secured against cyberattacks from today's systems and from quantum computers in the future. Consumers and businesses using our new products will have tomorrow's cybersecurity today.
