NIST PQC Migration Solutions by Industry
Every regulated enterprise faces the same quantum adversary — but the compliance clock, the data half-life, and the audit trail differ by sector. Q6of maps CNSA 2.0 deadlines, harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure windows, and FIPS 203/204/205 alignment to the vertical you operate in, so your cryptographic migration plan reads in the language your AO, your regulator, and your board already speak.

Federal & Defense
CNSA 2.0 sets a hard deadline your program office cannot renegotiate. Q6of gives federal CISOs and contracting officers a defensible migration path aligned to NSA's Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) reference tooling lineage, with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 already on the box — a 9-month head start over the closest competitor in the post-quantum space.
- CNSA 2.0 timeline alignment (software: 2025; firmware & hardware signing: 2030 / 2033)
- CBOM inventory across classified and unclassified enclaves in under 6 minutes per repository
- Hybrid TLS termination (classical + ML-KEM-768) at line rate — benchmarked at 84 Gbps on a 32-core node
- Provenance from the team that co-authored 4 of the 7 algorithms selected in the NIST PQC standardization round
Financial Services
Your transaction data outlives your cryptography. Card-data vaults, mortgage liens, SWIFT clearances, and core-ledger entries all carry confidentiality horizons that stretch past the moment a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer arrives — making harvest-now-decrypt-later a present-tense liability, not a future risk.
- PCI DSS v4.0 cryptographic inventory mapping with quarterly attestation evidence
- Hot-swappable Crypto Agility Mesh — rotate 1.2M+ keys per rollout with zero recompilation
- Trusted by 14 Fortune 500 financial institutions and three Tier-1 European central banks
- FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) alignment for HSM-gated signing chains
Healthcare & Biotech
A genome is forever. Patient records carry a 30- to 80-year confidentiality horizon that far exceeds the useful life of any classical cipher — meaning today's ciphertext, once harvested, becomes tomorrow's plaintext disclosure. Q6of maps HIPAA Security Rule encryption-addressable implementation specs to a deterministic migration that protects PHI and genomic data before the data outlives the cryptography protecting it.
- Genomic half-life modeling — quantify Q-day exposure for every sequence variant in your biorepository
- PHI encryption at rest and in transit aligned with NIST SP 800-111 and the HIPAA Security Rule
- CBOM scans across 1,200+ library fingerprints covering clinical and research stacks (Python/R/Java/SAS)
- Zero-downtime rotation playbooks refined across 2.1M+ cryptographic assets since 2022
Aligned With the Standards Your Auditors Will Check
Every binding in this list is named, dated, and verifiable against our published CBOM output — the credibility precondition before any vertical-specific migration plan.
-
FIPS-203 Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation (ML-KEM)
Primary KEM. ML-KEM-768 is the default for hybrid TLS termination on the Q6of control plane.
-
FIPS-204 Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature (ML-DSA)
Primary signature suite. ML-DSA-65 used for code-signing and HSM-gated identity chains.
-
CNSA-2.0 Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0
Federal software-binding deadline (2025) and firmware/hardware-signing deadlines (2030/2033) supported with deterministic migration.
-
NIST SP 800-131A Transitioning the Use of Cryptographic Algorithms
Deprecation and acceptance status of every algorithm in your estate, surfaced as an attestation-ready report.
-
NSA CSfC Commercial Solutions for Classified — Reference Tooling
Harvest-now-decrypt-later threat-modeling suite used as reference tooling by the CSfC program.
-
FIPS 140-3 L2 Cryptographic Module Validation — Level 2
Hardware module certification achieved 9 months ahead of the closest competitor in the post-quantum space.
Inventory → Audit → Pilot → Rollout → Continuous Rotation in 14 Days
Replace anxiety with a deterministic engineering project. Four steps. Two weeks. One auditable artifact at every gate.
-
01DAY 1 – 3
Inventory
CBOM engine scans 47 language ecosystems and 1,200+ library fingerprints across your estate. Every key, certificate, and algorithm is exposed in under 6 minutes per repository.
-
02DAY 4 – 6
Audit
A Q6of solutions engineer delivers a vertical-aware risk register: quantum-vulnerable primitives, HNDL exposure windows, and FIPS 140-3 / CNSA 2.0 alignment gaps — written in the language your AO reads.
-
03DAY 7 – 10
Pilot
Hybrid TLS termination is enabled in shadow mode against a production-traffic mirror. ML-KEM-768 + classical handshakes are compared side-by-side; no recompilation required.
-
04DAY 11 – 14+
Rollout & Continuous Rotation
Crypto Agility Mesh takes over. Suite swaps, key rotations, and policy changes happen at runtime — refined across 2.1M cryptographic assets rotated since 2022.
