QUICKSHIELD protects documents and digital infrastructures with post-quantum cryptography and blockchain.

The growing digitalisation of business and administrative processes brings an exponential increase in the amount of digital documents managed, stored and shared across heterogeneous information systems. In this context, information security becomes a critical factor, especially considering the evolution of cyber threats and the future prospect of quantum computers potentially able to compromise current cryptographic systems.


The Quick Shield project was created to develop an advanced solution for protecting digital documents and information systems, based on quantum-attack-resistant cryptography, distributed infrastructures and blockchain technologies for information certification.

Data protection and document security

QUICKSHIELD introduces an infrastructure designed to ensure the integrity, authenticity and availability of information throughout the entire lifecycle of digital documents. The system integrates advanced encryption mechanisms, distributed storage and blockchain certification, reducing the risks of data loss, information manipulation and unauthorised access.

AI and cybersecurity for document management

One of the project’s distinctive elements is the integration of artificial intelligence tools to support both document management activities and cybersecurity operations. The AI systems support users in managing information and system administrators in monitoring and protecting infrastructures, improving process efficiency and strengthening overall security.
