Protect satellite payloads, inter-satellite links, telecommand channels, and space-to-ground communications against quantum computing threats. From radiation-hardened PQC accelerators to AI-powered satellite anomaly detection with quantum-safe integrity across every orbital layer.
Radiation-hardened ML-KEM + ML-DSA accelerator designed for the space environment, delivering post-quantum cryptography that survives total ionizing dose, single-event effects, and extreme thermal cycling in orbit.
PQC encryption integrated directly into satellite digital payloads, securing uplink/downlink channels and on-board data processing against quantum-era interception and decryption threats.
PQC key lifecycle management engineered for 15+ year satellite missions, with autonomous rekeying, crypto-agile algorithm rotation, and graceful degradation for deep-space operations.
Space assets represent the most exposed layer of defense infrastructure. Satellite communications carry the highest-classification command and control traffic across vast distances, and every link — uplink, downlink, crosslink — uses RSA and ECC-based encryption that quantum computers will break.
Unlike terrestrial systems, satellites cannot be physically upgraded once in orbit. With mission lifecycles of 15+ years, spacecraft launched today must withstand quantum threats that will materialize during their operational lifetime. Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks on satellite links are already underway.
