[Featured Stock] ICTK Reveals Chinese Supercomputer 1000 Trillion Times Quantum Computer... Quantum Security 'Urgent Issue'

ICTK is showing strong performance. The news that a Chinese research team has succeeded in developing a quantum computer 1,000 trillion times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer seems to be influencing the stock price. Following the stir caused by DeepSeek, a low-cost, high-efficiency artificial intelligence (AI) model, in January this year, China has demonstrated world-class technology in quantum computing as well. With the advent of quantum computers, the importance of security is expected to increase further.

ICTK has become the first in the world to launch and begin mass production of the i511DN security chip fully equipped with the official PQC algorithm standard from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

As of 9:51 a.m. on the 6th, ICTK was trading at 12,620 won, up 2,090 won (19.85%) compared to the previous trading day. It has continued its sharp rise after hitting the daily price limit the day before.

According to Chinese foreign media reports, a research team led by Pan Jianwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the University of Science and Technology of China, unveiled the ‘Zuchongzhi 3’, a 105-qubit superconducting quantum computer prototype. ‘Zuchongzhi 3’ can perform quantum random circuit sampling, one of the key benchmarks for testing quantum computer performance, 1,000 trillion times faster than the most powerful existing supercomputer.

The report stated that it can process tasks 1 million times faster than Google's latest technology published in the journal Nature in October last year.

Security fabless company ICTK announced yesterday that it has launched and started mass production of the i511DN security chip fully equipped with the official PQC algorithm standard from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Major countries including the United States are transitioning to PQC-based protection for critical data by 2030. The U.S. plans to phase out current encryption technologies (ECC and RSA) by 2035. Experts predict that in Korea, PQC will become an essential application element along with the zero-trust concept through the National Network Security Framework (N2SF).

Lee Jung-won, CEO of ICTK, said, "ICTK's security chip should be pre-applied not only to automotive security such as software-defined vehicles (SDV) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), but also to critical areas such as safety, security, and finance, including smartphones, financial services, and cryptocurrency security." He added, "We hope to establish ourselves as a leading company in security standards for the PQC transition era through the i511DN (G5N)."
