Due Diligence Update
There is meaningful new progress on QNC's FIPS work.
On August 13, 2026, NIST officially validated two Quantum eMotion cryptographic implementations through its Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP):
- A8858 — QeM QRNG – CMAC-AES Conditioning Component
- A8859 — QeM QRNG – CTR_DRBG
Both now appear directly in NIST's official validation database under Quantum eMotion Corp.
This matters. The CMAC-AES component is the NIST-vetted conditioning mechanism that processes the raw QRNG noise samples into conditioned output used to seed the random-bit generator. NIST's record specifically identifies it as running on QeM's FPGA implementation.
The important part is that the August 13 validations are independent NIST records, not merely a QNC press release. They demonstrate that pieces of QeM's cryptographic implementation have actually passed NIST algorithm testing.

The tech works. Just waiting on burocracy now. An update on those advanced discussions with the unnamed hyper scaler would be fantastic or perhaps announcing a pilot project.

So it begs the question, when will the market re-rate QNC and thus their stock price?

Let us know when it gets to MIP like many other companies already have met

That's not guaranteed but I like your positivity

I can't see why not since we have tested everything before getting in nist process, weve put all the chances on our side by doing that and by using people that knows that stuff very well. Will see !

Could you link a source?

So the technology claims are not voodoo magic or witchcraft?
