Quantum Defense
Products and services to protect information and communications against threats from quantum computing, and to prepare organizations for the transition to post-quantum cryptography.
The transition to post-quantum cryptography
Mosca’s theorem is commonly used to assess urgency: if the time that data must remain confidential (X) plus the time required to migrate (Y) exceeds the time until a cryptographically relevant quantum computer is available (Z), that data is already at risk.
Published NIST standards
NIST published FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA) in 2024. These algorithms form the basis of the transition.
Defined transition timelines
NIST IR 8547 plans the deprecation of RSA and ECC during the 2030s, and the NSA’s CNSA 2.0 sets 2035 as the target date for national security systems.
Cryptographic inventory
A complete inventory of where public-key cryptography is used is a prerequisite for planning the migration. Many organizations do not yet have one.
Q-CIPHER
Hybrid post-quantum encryption gateway for sensitive traffic, including traffic to and from AI models. Each message is encrypted end to end with combined classical and post-quantum keys, and the gateway routes the encrypted traffic without being able to decrypt it.

Engagement model
Products and consulting services can be combined according to each organization’s level of maturity.
Assess
Identification of systems that use public-key cryptography to protect long-lived data, and prioritization using Mosca’s theorem.
Train
Development of internal capabilities using Q-LAB-314.
Protect
Deployment of Q-CIPHER on the most exposed data flows, in hybrid mode alongside existing cryptography.
Validate
Testing of implementations and configurations, and maintenance of a crypto-agility roadmap.
Quantum risk assessment
I-314 helps organizations identify which data, systems and dependencies require post-quantum protection first.
