Press Release 

Quanthor and 2CRSi join forces to secure critical infrastructure in the post-quantum era 

Sherbrooke (Canada) / Strasbourg (France), 04 August 2026. The clock on post-quantum migration has started. With the 
publication of the first NIST standards and a 2030 deadline for deprecating classical algorithms, organizations 
protecting critical infrastructure now have only a handful of years to make the switch, whereas such a transition 
typically takes five to ten. And the threat is not waiting for a quantum computer to arrive: for several years now, 
state and non-state actors have been stockpiling encrypted data with the intent to decrypt it once quantum computing 
power allows, a strategy known as « Harvest Now, Decrypt Later ». Against this backdrop, Quanthor, a Canadian 
specialist in sovereign hardware security, and 2CRSi (Euronext Paris: 2CRSi), a leading European industrial player in 
high-performance computing infrastructure, announce the signing of a Letter of Intent to structure a technological and 
industrial collaboration for the most critical environments. 

This partnership brings together two complementary logics: the hardware trust layer developed by Quanthor, built on 
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and 2CRSi's sovereign, HPC, AI and ruggedized 
computing platforms. Together, they address the defense, space, energy and sensitive-infrastructure markets, where the 
chain of trust can no longer rest on digital keys alone. 
 
The agreement sets out several structuring priorities. 2CRSi will support Quanthor in the sourcing and integration of 
server platforms for the deployment of the Forge and Qbox modules, Quanthor's hardware solutions enabling 
high-assurance physical authentication of critical assets. The two companies will also work on specific technical 
adaptations to meet the certification constraints of the target markets, with a progressive supply commitment from 
Quanthor to 2CRSi. 
 
This alliance is part of an accelerating industrial dynamic. The global quantum-security market is entering a phase of 
active consolidation, a sign that major technology players anticipate the disruption and are seeking to secure their 
positions. Quanthor and 2CRSi are betting on a sovereign alternative, designed outside the major American and Chinese 
spheres of influence, from Québec and Alsace. 
 
Located at the heart of Sherbrooke's quantum innovation ecosystem, Quanthor develops its technologies in close 
connection with the aerospace, defense and sensitive-infrastructure sectors in Canada. This positioning allows it to 
address real-world operational environments, alongside industrial and institutional players engaged in the next 
generation of critical technologies. 

« This partnership with 2CRSi marks the beginning of a technological corridor between Canada and Europe that we are 
building deliberately. Sovereignty is not decreed: it is encoded in silicon, in supply chains, in the industrial 
partnerships one chooses. With 2CRSi, we are laying a first concrete stone. » 
 
Gaël Humbert, CEO of Quanthor 

« This collaboration perfectly illustrates our commitment to supporting technology projects of strong strategic value. 
The stakes tied to digital sovereignty and to securing critical infrastructure are central today. The technologies 
developed by Quanthor provide a concrete answer to these challenges, and we are proud to contribute to their 
industrialization. » 
 
Alain Wilmouth, Chief Executive Officer of 2CRSi
