Singaporean Brothers Launch Unbreakable Encryption to Combat Quantum Threats

• •Aires Applied Quantum Technology was founded by two Singaporean brothers in 2023.
• •Their flagship product, LionGuard, encrypts files using Diophantine equations, making it resistant to quantum attacks.
• •The company aims to lower subscription fees to attract small and medium-sized enterprises.

Singaporean brothers Ken Lin and Lim Meng Liang founded Aires Applied Quantum Technology in 2023 after Lim secured a US patent for using Diophantine equations in data encryption. Their product, LionGuard, is a mobile app designed to encrypt files against quantum computer threats. The app utilizes a unique encryption key generated by the sender and requires the recipient to use the app to unlock files. Aires holds four international patents, including technology for securing QR codes and barcodes. The company aims to lower subscription fees to attract small and medium-sized enterprises. The encryption method is deemed practically unbreakable, even against quantum computers, which could crack traditional encryption in days. The brothers report increasing interest from organizations in integrating their technology. Aires is part of Singapore's growing quantum-tech ecosystem, supported by a national R&D budget.
