ST. LOUIS - Missouriar -- Following the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) August 2024 release of post-quantum cryptography standards, PQ Crypta has completed full implementation and testing of ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204), positioning the platform as a leader in quantum‑resistant security.

Why It Matters

NIST's eight‑year evaluation delivers peer‑reviewed algorithms proven to withstand classical and quantum attacks. These standards give organizations confidence to adopt quantum‑safe encryption today.

"NIST's rigorous standardization process gives organizations confidence that these algorithms are ready for production use. Our complete implementation means businesses can adopt quantum‑resistant encryption today, not years from now." — Allan Riddel, Principal Software Architect, PQ Crypta

Implemented Standards

• ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203): Secure key exchange, replacing RSA/DH
• ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204): Digital signatures, replacing ECDSA/RSA
• SLH-DSA (FIPS 205): Stateless hash‑based signatures
• Hybrid Modes: Classical + PQ algorithms for transitional security

Technical Validation

• Verified against NIST Known Answer Tests (KATs)
• Optimized for production throughput
• Constant‑time operations to prevent side‑channel attacks
• Interoperability with standard protocols
• Continuous endpoint validation and monitoring

"Compliance isn't just about implementing algorithms — it's about doing so correctly, securely, and efficiently. Our platform undergoes continuous validation to ensure every encryption operation meets NIST specifications." — Allan Riddel, Principal Software Architect, PQ Crypta

Benefits for Organizations

• Compliance: Meet emerging federal PQ requirements
• Future‑Proofing: Protection against "harvest now, decrypt later" threats
• Integration: RESTful API for seamless adoption
• Auditability: Full logging and compliance reporting

PQ Crypta's architecture separates algorithms from application logic, enabling seamless updates as NIST refines standards. The platform is available now with documentation and technical support for finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure sectors.
