Be ready before Q-Day arrives.
When quantum computers reach the power to run Shor's algorithm, today's public-key encryption breaks overnight. AZIST helps federal agencies and enterprises move to NIST's post-quantum standards — proactively, with minimal disruption.
What is Q-Day?
Q-Day is the moment a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can run Shor's algorithm in practice — at which point the public-key cryptography protecting today's digital infrastructure becomes obsolete.
Pre-quantum encryption falls. Sensitive data, identities, and long-lived secrets are exposed. “Harvest now, decrypt later” attacks are already collecting encrypted traffic today, anticipating tomorrow's quantum capability.
Encryption at risk
RSA, ECC and other public-key schemes break under Shor's algorithm.
Harvest now, decrypt later
Adversaries are already storing data to decrypt post-Q-Day.
NIST PQC standards
New post-quantum cryptography standards are now finalized.
Migration is non-trivial
Hardware, software, certificates and protocols all need planning.
Mathematical depth, practical execution
Our team understands the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography and the operational reality of deploying it across real-world systems.
Risk Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of your existing cryptographic surface — algorithms, protocols, certificates, key management — and a custom migration roadmap.
Mathematical Foundation
Translate the math behind NIST's PQC standards (lattice-based, hash-based, code-based) into clear, actionable requirements for your engineers.
Implementation Support
Hands-on support to deploy quantum-safe encryption methods aligned with NIST PQC — building long-term cryptographic agility.
Federal Agencies
- Inventory your cryptographic surface — algorithms, certificates, and key exchanges — before CISA PQC mandates create urgency
- Protect classified data now: adversaries are already harvesting encrypted traffic to decrypt after Q-Day
- Structured migration to NIST FIPS 203/204/205 with minimal disruption to live operational systems
Private Sector
- Shield long-lived IP and trade secrets from harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure before Q-Day arrives
- Build cryptographic agility so future algorithm transitions require configuration changes, not system rewrites
- Align with emerging partner and regulatory expectations as NIST PQC adoption becomes the new security baseline
Secure your business for the quantum future.
Q-Day will not announce itself. Organizations that prepare now will spend the transition adapting calmly. Those that wait will be scrambling.
