← Back to all tagsA Confession and a Vision A personal note from the founder of SpeakEZ Technolgies, Houston Haynes I must admit something upfront: when I began design of the Fidelity framework in 2020, I was driven by practical engineering frustrations, particularly with AI development. The limitations of a managed runtime, the endless battle with numeric precision, machine learning framework quirks, constant bug chasing; these weren’t just inconveniences, they felt like fundamental architectural flaws.
Read MoreThe quantum computing landscape in 2025 presents both promising advances and sobering realities. While the technology has moved beyond pure research into early commercial deployments, it remains years away from the transformative applications often promised in popular media. For the Fidelity framework, this creates an interesting design opportunity: how can we architect our system to potentially leverage quantum acceleration when it becomes practical, without over-committing to a technology still finding its footing?
Read MoreThe world got a wake-up call this week due to Bloomberg’s investigation into how “tiny middlemen” in the SMS routing infrastructure can access two-factor authentication codes. For security professionals, this wasn’t surprising – it was inevitable. What was shocking was the simplicity and low cost of these attacks: for as little as $16, attackers could reroute authentication codes through vulnerable VoIP providers. At SpeakEZ, we’ve been anticipating this reckoning. Our QuantumCredential technology, protected by pending patents (US 63/780,027 and US 63/780,055), represents a fundamental departure from network-dependent authentication.
Read MoreIn 1993, while the tech world marveled at the newly-freed World Wide Web and debated the coming “Information Superhighway,” a Canadian computer consultant published a three-page warning that everyone dismissed as alarmist. Peter de Jager’s “Doomsday 2000” article in Computerworld was largely ignored, until faint realization started turning to full blown panic around 1997-1998, when organizations finally did the math and realized the scope of the problem. Today, while Silicon Valley pours billions into the next ChatGPT competitor, an equally predictable catastrophe approaches with mathematical certainty.
Read MoreIn the world of cryptography, a storm is brewing. Quantum computing, once a theoretical curiosity, has been steadily advancing toward practical reality. When sufficiently powerful quantum computers arrive, not if, but when, they will fundamentally alter the cryptographic landscape. The implications for secure communications are profound and far-reaching. The most immediate concern is what security researchers call the “harvest now, decrypt later” attack vector. Nation-states and sophisticated actors are already collecting and archiving encrypted internet traffic with the explicit intention of decrypting it once quantum computers become sufficiently powerful.
Read MoreThe computing landscape stands at an inflection point. AI accelerators are reshaping our expectations of performance while “quantum” looms as both opportunity for and threat to our future. Security vulnerabilities in memory-unsafe code continue to cost billions annually. Yet the vast ecosystem of foundational libraries, from TensorFlow’s core implementations to OpenSSL, remains anchored in C and C++. How might we bridge this chasm between the proven code we depend on and the type-safe, accelerated future we’re building at an increasing pace?
