O FALLON, Mo. - Missouriar -- PQ Crypta today announced the launch of its comprehensive quantum-resistant encryption platform, implementing NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms to protect organizations against emerging threats from quantum computing.

As quantum computers continue to advance, they pose a significant threat to current encryption methods used worldwide. PQ Crypta's platform addresses this critical security challenge by implementing ML-KEM-1024 (Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism) and ML-DSA-87 (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm), both recently standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

"The quantum threat is not a distant concern—it's a present reality that organizations must address today. Data encrypted with current methods and harvested now could be decrypted by quantum computers in the future. Our platform provides immediate protection against this 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat."
