Digital solutions provider to the financial sector ITTI has agreed an exclusive distribution agreement for Latin America with SignQuantum. The strategic partnership will deliver quantum-resistant security for digitally signed documents to the Paraguyan company’s clients across Latin America, protecting critical data from the looming threat of quantum computers.
ITTI’s clients include banks, insurance companies, and public sector institutions, processing over 40 percent of the nation’s financial transactions. By partnering with SignQuantum, the company is bringing its vast range of Latin American clients the most advanced quantum-resistant technology for sensitive documents and contracts.
When they are fully developed, quantum computers will be able to crack pre-existing supercomputer codes in a fraction of the time that it would have taken their predecessors to do so.
The global digital signature market is experiencing explosive growth – currently valued at $10.80 billion in 2025 and projected to soar to $118.88 billion by 2032, with a 40.9 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This surge is fueled by increased digital transformation, growing regulatory compliance demands, and the widespread shift to remote-first operations.
Time Travelling Criminals and U.S. Regulations
However, today’s digitally signed documents are vulnerable to “time travel” attacks by future quantum computers. Malicious actors will be able to backdate and modify the content and signature of digitally signed documents. There is evidence to prove that every document signed digitally today could be retroactively amended in the future.
The need for quantum-resistant digital signatures is thus becoming increasingly urgent. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) deprecates current digital signature algorithms in 2030, and urges transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography. U.S. lawmakers are demanding swift adoption of post-quantum solutions to protect against future attacks.
Advancements in quantum computing are rapidly becoming a reality, with companies like IBM charting a course to deliver large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers as early as 2029 – making solutions like SignQuantum essential for organizations seeking to safeguard their digitally signed documents against tomorrow’s quantum threats.
‘Crucial for Safeguarding Critical Documents’
“This partnership is a strategic addition to our service portfolio,” said Luis Angulo, vice president of ITTI. “We’re committed to offering our clients ranging from banks, insurance companies, and the public sector the most advanced technologies available, and SignQuantum’s quantum-resistant solution is crucial for safeguarding their critical documents in this rapidly expanding digital signature market.”
He added: “This will benefit both our current and future clients, allowing them to confidently navigate the future of secure digital signatures. We are looking forward to announcing our first implementation.”
SignQuantum is a self-hosted, quantum-resistant e-signature add-on that addresses the emerging quantum threat by seamlessly integrating with popular e-signature platforms. It provides organizations with a fast-lane solution to kickstart their quantum-safe transition without disrupting existing workflows.
The technology uniquely solves two key challenges: maintaining digital signature authenticity and securing proof of timing. It uses NIST’s primary-recommended post-quantum algorithm and leverages QANplatform, a quantum-resistant blockchain, for immutable time-stamping – ensuring document authenticity in a tamper-proof way.
‘Uniquely Positioned to Drive Post-Quantum Security’
“We’re thrilled to partner with ITTI as the exclusive distributor to bring SignQuantum to the Latin American market,” said Nazmath Nazeer, CEO of SignQuantum. “With a strong foundation built on the trust of nine of 22 financial institutions regulated by the Central Bank of Paraguay – and processing over 40 percent of the nation’s financial transactions through their core software – ITTI is uniquely positioned to drive post-quantum security adoption.”
Nazeer added that ITTI’s “proven track record of success” made it an “ideal partner to accelerate this critical transition across Latin America.”
Johann Polecsak, co-founder and CTO of QANplatform, added: “This is yet another opportunity to prove that QANplatform is capable of not only safeguarding, but also handling the large volume of digital transactions coming from ITTI’s clients using SignQuantum. This partnership demonstrates the growing demand for quantum-resistant blockchain solutions, and we’re proud to be powering the future of secure digital signatures in Latin America together with SignQuantum and ITTI.”
Key Stakeholders at a Glance
ITTI calls itself “Paraguay’s leading technology company” and has well-established hubs in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia, with plans to open offices in three more countries by the end of 2025. ITTI specializes in IT solutions across the finance, retail, energy, telecommunications, and public sectors. Employing a diverse team of 1,200 professionals, the company received the gold award for Digital Banking for Financial Innovators at Fintech Americas 2025 in Miami.
SignQuantum is a product of Qatar-based technology company Quantum Software Solutions. It prevents quantum computers from modifying digitally signed documents with its post-quantum security add-on in what it describes as a “cutting-edge, fast-lane solution to kickstart your organization’s quantum-safe transition.” SignQuantum leverages QANplatform, the quantum-resistant blockchain for immutable time-stamping.
QANplatform is a blockchain platform geared towards Web3 development. It serves startups, SMEs, enterprises, and large government infrastructure projects with quantum-resistant security. QAN’s flagship product is a quantum-resistant hybrid blockchain platform with smart contract functionality. It claims to be the first to introduce technology that allows developers to build use cases in any programming language on the blockchain and is a member of the Linux Foundation’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance.
