Post-quantum security

Nitro Security PQC

Post-quantum cryptography for systems that already exist — hybrid handshakes, managed keys, and a migration path that doesn’t start with a rewrite.

What it is

Change the cryptography, not the application.

Traffic captured today can be stored and opened later, once the hardware catches up. That turns the move to post-quantum algorithms into a scheduling problem rather than a someday problem.

Nitro Security implements the standardised primitives — ML-KEM for key encapsulation (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA for signatures (FIPS 204) — and runs them in hybrid mode alongside the classical algorithms you already trust.

Keys, rotation, and the audit trail sit behind one interface, so the algorithm underneath can change without touching application code. That is the whole point: crypto-agility.

Capabilities

The standardised primitives, managed

Post-quantum algorithms are published. Running them safely in a live system is the work.

ML-KEM key encapsulation

FIPS 203 key establishment for the session keys your traffic actually depends on.

ML-DSA signatures

FIPS 204 signing and verification for artifacts, tokens, and machine identities.

Hybrid handshakes

Classical and post-quantum key exchange run together, so the session holds if either one holds.

Key management

Generate, store, and scope keys per service — no shared secrets sitting in a config file.

Rotation and audit trail

Scheduled rotation plus a signed record of every key issued, used, and retired.

Crypto-agility

Swap algorithms behind a stable interface, so the next standard is a config change.

How it works

A migration you can run in order

01

Inventory

Find where cryptography actually happens: handshakes, tokens, stored secrets, signed artifacts.

02

Go hybrid

Turn post-quantum on alongside the classical algorithm. Existing clients keep working.

03

Centralise keys

Issue and scope keys per service, with rotation on a schedule instead of on a ticket.

04

Prove it

Export the audit trail: which algorithm, which key, which service, and when.

Who it’s for

Teams with a date on the calendar

Long-lived data

Records that must stay confidential for longer than today’s cryptography can promise.

Platform and infrastructure teams

Services that terminate TLS, sign artifacts, or hand out tokens on someone else’s behalf.

Compliance-driven programmes

Anyone who has to show the migration plan, the algorithms in use, and the evidence behind both.

Start the migration early.

We’ll map your handshakes and signatures, then show you the order to do them in.
