Quantum Security

Post-quantum readiness, cryptographic discovery, quantum risk assessment, crypto-agility design and practical migration planning for PQC.

Prepare cryptography for the post-quantum transition

Quantum security is not about predicting the date of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer. It is about identifying where current public-key cryptography creates long-lived exposure and building a controlled migration path before legacy algorithms become a business constraint. SecurityAttest® helps organizations understand their cryptographic dependencies, prioritize systems and data, and design a practical transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

Primary risk: information with a long confidentiality lifetime may be collected today and decrypted later if the cryptography protecting it becomes breakable. Migration also takes time because cryptography is embedded in protocols, applications, PKI, devices, firmware, libraries and supplier products.

Quantum security workstreams

Cryptographic discoveryInventory algorithms, keys, certificates, protocols, libraries and embedded cryptographic dependencies across applications and infrastructure.
Quantum risk assessmentPrioritize by data lifetime, business criticality, exposure, dependency complexity and the impact of “harvest now, decrypt later” scenarios.
PQC migration roadmapDefine phased migration to standardized post-quantum mechanisms, including NIST FIPS 203, 204 and 205 where appropriate.
Cryptographic agilityReview architecture so algorithms and parameters can be replaced without redesigning entire systems or breaking interoperability.
PKI & protocol readinessAssess certificates, code signing, TLS, VPN, identity, key management and supplier dependencies for migration constraints.
Migration validationReview hybrid or PQC implementations, configuration, key handling, performance trade-offs and operational controls before production rollout.

Typical deliverables

The engagement can produce a cryptographic asset inventory, quantum-exposure register, system-by-system migration priorities, supplier dependency map, target-state cryptographic architecture, crypto-agility requirements and a phased PQC migration plan. Where prototypes or migrated components already exist, we can add implementation review and technical validation.

When to start

  • You protect information that must remain confidential for many years.
  • Your products have long hardware or software lifecycles.
  • You operate PKI, signing or identity infrastructure that is difficult to replace.
  • Your customers or regulators are beginning to request PQC or crypto-agility evidence.
  • You need a controlled roadmap rather than a last-minute cryptographic migration.
