Quantum-Era Security

Know your real timeline.

Everyone will tell you to migrate. Few can tell you how fast the clock is running. We work on the factoring side of the problem, which changes how you rank what to protect first.

The plain version

The locks on the internet were built for a world of ordinary computers. A different kind of computer is coming. Governments have already put dates on the calendar for replacing those locks. Most companies cannot list the locks they actually use.

We help you see the estate, rank it by how long each secret has to last, and move in an order a board can fund. That includes the locks sitting under AI systems, which most programs still skip.

Why we see it differently

In 2025 we filed two applications on quantum-style computation without quantum hardware, including integer factorization by discrete quantum Fourier analysis. We do not claim the locks are broken. We claim the useful question is not “when will a quantum computer exist” but “what can be done with the hardware that already does.” That is the clock we plan against, and it is shorter than the one on most migration roadmaps.

How we help

  • Find what you encrypt. Not in theory, in the systems people actually run.
  • Ask the useful question: how long must this stay secret, and against what kind of machine?
  • Design a path that can change algorithms without rebuilding the company.
  • Bring identity and keys into the same conversation. Most cryptography programs still treat them as separate rooms.

What this is not

We will not date the end of the world for you. We will not sell you a box. The useful clock is the earliest rule that binds you, plus the lifetime of the data you already hold. The technical names, post-quantum cryptography and the new standards, belong in the work. They do not belong in the first sentence you say to a board.
