Singaporean brothers use unsolvable Diophantine equations to build quantum-resistant encryption
By
Sarah Koh
Summary
Singaporean brothers Lim Meng Liang and Lim Meng Huai are using unsolvable Diophantine equations to develop next-generation, quantum-resistant encryption. Lim Meng Liang, a specialist in these notoriously complex mathematical problems, secured his first US patent in 2022 for novel methods that exploit these equations to encrypt data, creating cryptographic walls that are practically unbreakable for hackers. The technology aims to provide robust security against both current hacking attempts and future quantum computing threats.
