NATO Partnership
Securing NATO's communications for the quantum era is paramount to our ability to operate effectively without fear of interception.
Technical Leadership in Quantum-Safe Security Since 2009
As the first company founded with sole focus on post-quantum cryptography, we have spent 15 years developing the technologies, standards, and expertise that organisations worldwide now rely upon.
Our Achievements
Industry-Defining Contributions
We Coined "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later"
The phrase "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" has become the standard terminology for describing quantum threats. We coined this phrase, which subsequently formed the foundation of the 2022 US Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act.
Impact: Our thought leadership has shaped government policy and raised global awareness of quantum security threats.
Policy Impact
The 2022 US Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, built on our concept, mandates federal agencies to inventory cryptographic assets and transition to quantum-resistant encryption.
Classic McEliece - NIST Round 4 Finalist
Our cryptographic algorithm merged with Professor Daniel Bernstein's submission to become Classic McEliece. It is now a NIST Round 4 finalist and the only remaining algorithm in the code-based category.
Technical Significance: Classic McEliece offers a conservative cryptographic approach with a 47-year security track record.
Security Characteristics
- 47-year security track record
- Conservative parameter selection
- Dual classical and quantum resistance
RFC9370 - Global VPN Standard
We are the author of RFC9370, the IETF standard for multiple key exchanges in IKEv2. This has been ratified as the global standard for hybrid quantum-safe VPN connectivity.
Industry Adoption: Major networking vendors are implementing RFC9370, making our protocol the de facto standard for quantum-safe network security globally.
Why RFC9370 Matters
RFC9370 provides the standardised protocol ensuring secure communication across heterogeneous environments as nations deploy diverse cryptographic solutions.
Strategic Partnerships
Real-World Deployment
STV Strategic Partnership
Post-Quantum's platform allows STV to be the first-mover to redefine the very standards of digital trust in defence solutions.
Technology Differentiation
What Sets Us Apart
Conservative Approach
We prioritise security over novelty. Classic McEliece's 47-year track record provides confidence that newer algorithms cannot match.
Standards Leadership
Beyond implementing standards, we create them. As author of RFC9370, we established the technical foundation for global quantum-safe VPN connectivity.
Hybrid Architecture
Our approach combines classical and post-quantum cryptography. If either is compromised, the other maintains protection.
Crypto-Agility
Our crypto-agile architecture enables rapid updates without wholesale system replacement.
Production-Ready
We deliver production-ready solutions deployed in NATO networks and active conflict zones.
15-Year Head Start
Founded in 2009 as the first PQC-focused company, we have accumulated expertise newer entrants cannot replicate.
