On data security as well as energy, innovations have been registered for patent or are patented and can be licensed out. Interested parties should contact us.

Our security innovation addresses the problems aroused by quantum computers and large super-computers but also possible deficiencies in networks availability. The weakness of data security infrastructure comes from the fact that computer facilities could break the encryption keys used in our IT systems: some reports are stating that less than a day is now enough to break the asymmetric 2048-bit encryption while this required one billion years with classic computing. This security issues can affect data communication but also websites and login procedures. Our two main schemes allow, for one secure signature, for the other one secure data transport.

The safe signatures scheme shall embed a random number in the e-document to be certified, allowing for its signature with a one-time key i.e. a secret used only once and that cannot be recomputed.
The safe data transmission scheme uses entangled photons pairs to transport the information, coding many bits on each photon and making sure the photons have not been copied or hijacked during transportation.

We have created a proof-of-concept app using our quantum safe signature, doing prepaid cash payments where contactless NFC can be used when the networks is not available. The app is securing the transactions by our quantum safe signature scheme and is implementing an offline payment scheme described in one of our patents called: “Method and system for performing a secure data exchange”. The app has been realised for android under the name Moneytak and could be suited for e-cash i.e. dematerialising currencies. Its ability to work offline, transferring money by putting together two phones enables it to work when the network is down, though still offering full security.

Similarly, we are developing an application that will be able to hold ID documents securely and work offline. The application will make sure that the documents it holds cannot be duplicated, features quantum resistant authenticity security and is able to work offline as well as online. Online the user will be able to proof they hold their unique ID document while offline, other apps will be able to verify the authenticity of the ID after having established a NFC triggered data transfer. This data transfer will be enabled by putting together two phones, back-to-back.

We have also patented a geolocation method using fixed antennas and hyperbolic calculations. This innovative scheme uses fixed antennas, not satellites. It allows the use of long-waves to UHF, hence entering indoor and providing geolocation within buildings.

On the energy side, we have designed scheme aimed at improving the efficiency of solid oxide fuel cells, a type of hydrogen fuel cells that converts hydrogen into electricity from 60% to more than 100% by recovering the heat they release and using a small heat pump. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) operate at 850°C, while a series of endothermic chemical reactions can generate hydrogen out of water at lower temperatures.

Heat pumps that consume part of the electrical energy generated by the fuel cell are used to cool and liquefy the water released from the fuel cell while providing heat to one of the endothermic reactions.
Other heat pumps can also be used to provide more energy from the ambient heat to the endothermic reaction’s temperatures; raising the temperature from 20°C to 120°C, for example, costs about 54% of the heat released, while 100% of the pumped heat can be converted to electricity.

We have also come up with accelerated ion nuclear fusion energy recycling scheme aimed at recycling the energy of ionised particles after they have collided with a target gas such as Hydrogen whereby the product of the collision is done at high enough speed engenders fusion. The typical nuclear energy released by such fusion is low compared to the energy lost while traveling in the gas. However, the recycling of the fused ions energy increases the yield.

What Martyn’s Law Means for Public Venues

Enacted into law on April 3, 2025, Martyn’s Law calls for all UK venues and events to develop and implement preparedness plans and security procedures to reduce harm to the public in the event of a terrorist attack.

Public venues have 24 months to review the new rules and implement required protections.

For smaller venues, this means implementing actionable response plans to reduce harm to the public and exploring ways to raise awareness about security threats among staff. Larger venues are required to enact additional protections and conduct thorough risk assessments, as well as take steps to enhance on-site security by improving the way events are observed.

Compliance requirements for Martyn’s law are spread across two tiers. Standard Tier applies to venues and events with a capacity of 200 to 799 people; Enhanced Tier applies to those with a capacity of 800 or more. While venues with a total capacity of 199 or less are exempt, Martyn’s Law provides an effective framework to help operators improve security protections.

Standard Tier focuses on improving protective security and organisational preparedness by empowering event organisers to consider how they would respond in the event of a terrorist attack. Requirements under this tier involve low-cost, practical plans to evacuate the venue, move attendees to a safe location and lock down the premises in the event of an emergency.

Venues that fall under the Enhanced Tier are required to implement more comprehensive strategies and protections to safeguard the public, including measures to observe the site and surrounding areas for signs of security threats. For some venues, this may necessitate upgrades to outdated or ineffective CCTV and physical security systems.

Pelco offers an industry-leading range of smart video AI security cameras and threat detection technologies that leverage real-time intelligence to keep operators informed of complex, changeable security threats. Systems can be customised to meet unique needs and address evolving challenges, with AI analytics tools to help streamline investigations.

While security system upgrades are not a mandatory requirement, leveraging smart, modern security devices to improve observational capabilities can help venues of all sizes protect the public from harm. UK public venues with a capacity of 200 or more have 24 months from April 3, 2025, to review Martyn’s Law and make required adjustments to security measures.
