POST-QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY // WORKING LIBRARY

The Working Library for Post-Quantum Migration.

Standards-aligned whitepapers, reference architectures, and the OWASP-adopted cost calculator — written by the people who shipped four of the seven algorithms NIST selected. No gated PDFs, no marketing collateral. Every artifact here is something a cryptographer on your team can hand to legal, an auditor, or a board.

FIPS 140-3 Level 2: What the 9-Month Cert Lead Actually Buys You

A practical reading of the FIPS 140-3 boundary, the role of the cryptographic module in a crypto-agility mesh, and the audit-evidence checklist a Q6of customer uses.

The Q6of migration cost calculator is the only open-source model we forward to member organizations evaluating PQC readiness. It correctly separates the discovery, key-material issuance, and cutover phases — which is the part every vendor-side estimate gets wrong.

FINAL STEP // BOOKED AUDIT

Reading Won't Move the Cryptographic Estate.

Self-serve research is the right place to start — but every quarter a hybrid ML-KEM / ML-DSA rollout is deferred, your harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure window widens. A 30-minute scoped audit with a Q6of solutions engineer converts what's above into a concrete, dated migration backlog for your team.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE ON THE CALL

  • Migration sequencing diagram, aligned to NIST SP 800-131A Rev.2
  • Capex / opex split between HSM, software, and labor for the first 90 days
  • Named Q6of solutions engineer and follow-up SLA
