Why Now?

The quantum computing threat isn't hypothetical—it's already happening.

"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later"

Nation-state actors are actively collecting encrypted data today, storing it until quantum computers can break current encryption. Your RSA and ECC-encrypted data from 2024 could be readable by 2035.

The Timeline

2024NIST finalizes PQC standards
2025-2030Migration window
2030-2035Cryptographically relevant QC

If your data needs to remain confidential for 10+ years, you need post-quantum cryptography today.

Defense-in-Depth Architecture

Multiple layers of quantum-resistant algorithms working together. Even if one is compromised, your data remains secure.

FIPS 203

Hybrid KEM

X25519 + ML-KEM-768

Combines classical Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman with lattice-based ML-KEM for quantum-resistant key encapsulation. Security remains even if one algorithm is broken.

FIPS 204/205

Dual Signatures

ML-DSA-65 + SLH-DSA

Lattice-based ML-DSA paired with hash-based SLH-DSA provides cryptographic diversity. Two mathematically independent signature schemes for maximum assurance.

Defense-in-Depth

Cascading Encryption

AES-256-GCM + ChaCha20-Poly1305

Data encrypted with AES-256-GCM is re-encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305. An attacker must break both NIST and IETF approved ciphers.

Rust-Powered

Memory Safety

Rust + Zeroization

Written in Rust with automatic memory zeroization. Secrets are scrubbed from memory immediately after use, preventing memory-based attacks.

SHA3-512

Key Derivation

HKDF-SHA3-512

Derives cryptographic keys using HKDF with SHA3-512. Domain separation ensures keys for different purposes are cryptographically isolated.

PFS

Forward Secrecy

Built-in Key Rotation

Ephemeral keys and automatic rotation ensure past communications remain secure even if long-term keys are compromised in the future.

Simple API, Powerful Protection

Quantum-secure cryptography shouldn't be complicated. A clean Rust API abstracts the complexity while maintaining maximum security.

4let (public_key, secret_key) = QShieldKEM::generate_keypair()?;
