The foundational domain for all quantum-safe defense. Complete NIST PQC portfolio covering key encapsulation, digital signatures, hash-based signatures, hardware security modules, true quantum randomness, and AI-powered crypto-agility. Every other defense domain depends on these core cryptographic primitives.
Full NIST-standardized suite: ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204), SLH-DSA (FIPS 205), and HQC for algorithmic diversity. Lattice, hash-based, and code-based schemes for defense-in-depth.
FIPS 140-3 Level 3 quantum-safe HSM with PQC key generation, storage, and lifecycle management. Hardware-anchored Root of Trust with PQC secure boot for tamper-resistant operations.
Runtime algorithm switching for future-proof cryptography. AI-powered threat monitoring detects harvest-now-decrypt-later patterns and triggers automatic PQC migration across enterprise infrastructure.
Cryptography is the core domain — every defense system depends on it. ALL classical asymmetric cryptography (RSA, ECC, Diffie-Hellman) is fundamentally broken by Shor's algorithm running on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. This is not a theoretical concern but a mathematical certainty.
Symmetric cryptography is also impacted: AES-128, widely used across defense systems, is weakened to an effective 64-bit security level by Grover's algorithm — well within brute-force range. Harvest-now-decrypt-later campaigns are already underway, capturing encrypted data today for future quantum decryption.
