How It Works

Deep technical expertise in cryptographic engineering, hardware optimization, and standards compliance.

Understanding Post-Quantum Cryptography

🔓

Classical Crypto Vulnerable

Current encryption (RSA, ECC, DH) relies on mathematical problems (factoring, discrete logarithm) that quantum computers can solve efficiently using Shor's algorithm.

⚛️

Quantum Computing Threat

Large-scale quantum computers will break current encryption within seconds. Adversaries are already harvesting encrypted data for future decryption.

🔐

Post-Quantum Solution

Based on hard mathematical problems (lattices, codes, hash functions) that remain secure against both classical and quantum attacks.

NIST Post-Quantum Standards

After an 8-year evaluation process, NIST has standardized post-quantum algorithms that organizations must adopt. Our implementations are fully compliant with these standards:

FIPS 203 - ML-KEM

Key Encapsulation Mechanism (formerly Kyber)

Based on Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem. Used for establishing shared secrets over insecure channels.

FIPS 204 - ML-DSA

Digital Signature Algorithm (formerly Dilithium)

Based on MLWE and Module Short Integer Solution (MSIS). Used for authentication and non-repudiation.

Performance Optimization

Hardware Acceleration

Our implementations leverage modern CPU features including SIMD instructions (ARM Neon, Intel AVX2), hardware AES acceleration, and specialized crypto extensions. We automatically detect available features and select optimal code paths.

Algorithmic Optimization

We've implemented advanced optimizations including Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) for polynomial multiplication, Barrett reduction for modular arithmetic, and optimized sampling algorithms. These techniques provide order-of-magnitude speedups over reference implementations.

Side-Channel Protection

All implementations use constant-time operations to prevent timing attacks, masked operations to resist power analysis, and randomized execution to defend against cache attacks. Security is never compromised for performance.

Embedded Systems Focus

Our code is optimized for resource-constrained environments including IoT devices, mobile processors, and embedded systems. We minimize memory footprint, reduce power consumption, and maintain performance on low-end hardware.
