PQC is a post-quantum cryptographic algorithm with NIST PQC studies as reference.
It is designed to replace traditional RSA-based systems with a stronger, quantum resistant transport layer. It leverages mathematical functions selected by NIST that are significantly harder to reverse-engineer compared to prime factorization and elliptic curve-based systems currently used in PKI.
In response, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has emerged as a field devoted to developing quantum-resistant algorithms. Modern PQC implementations demand not only algorithmic resilience but also entropy sources which are immune to quantum accelerated bias exploitation.
NIST began working on post-quantum algorithms in 2014. By July 2020, after the third round of evaluations, NIST narrowed the field to seven finalists and eight alternate algorithms. We selected lattice-based algorithms—recognized for their superior security—for use in PQC. As NIST’s standards evolve, PQC will seamlessly adapt without impacting ongoing operations.

Organizations that utilize computers and networks are under Q-Day threat. Q-Day is themoment when Quantum computers can break today’s encryption. Data is your mostvaluable asset. Sensitive information often needs to be protected for 10+ years, and in manycases, 25 years. The risk of waiting is high. Transitioning to post-quantum Cryptography isthe best way to protect data in the future, as well as now.
Digital transformation is changing with external risks, and quantum technology. Security systems need to change with the technology they are protecting.
PQC (PQC) supports seamless integration with existing and future infrastructure. It adheres to NIST standards for ease of deployment assuring compatibility and agility while minimizing disruption during transition.
Unlike many cryptographic upgrades, PQC is designed for simplicity. enQase has also ported PQC to FPGAs for enhanced performance and speed. It’s easier to integrate than traditional PKI systems and works across:

The lattice-based algorithms used in PQC offer significantly higher complexity than current PKI. This makes the generated cryptographic keys inherently quantum resistant.
PQC enables fast implementation of quantum-safe encryption across your current crypto infrastructure, following NIST guidelines without requiring costly hardware overhauls.
As a library, PQC secures communication from the application layer to the end device. It enables protection at the last mile without the need for complex installations.
PQC is designed to scale. It integrates seamlessly with other enQase solutions boosting overall security and expanding deployment use cases.

Book a DemoPQC operates similarly to today’s PKI systems providing easy-to –use and simple implementation experience. It can also work in hybrid mode with enQase’s broader security suite, including:
Together, they deliver comprehensive, quantum-safe security, not just resistance.
