Post-Quantum Cryptography
The time to prepare for post-quantum cryptography is now. Quantum computers will soon be capable of breaking public key encryption protocols, such as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, that currently protect sensitive data, applications, and transactions.
Post-Quantum Cryptography Solutions
PKI as a Service
Our cloud-based public key infrastructure (PKI) offering provides composite and pure quantum-safe certificate authority hierarchies, so you can test or implement quantum-safe scenarios and architecture.
nShield Post-Quantum Option Pack
Prepare for a quantum attack with a software development kit (SDK) that enables quantum-resistant cryptography. Generate digital signature algorithms with a strong root of trust in our nShield hardware security modules (HSMs).
Cryptographic Center of Excellence
Get expert assessments, tools, and actionable recommendations from Entrust experts for ensuring crypto-agility and migrating your cryptography systems for a post-quantum world.
nShield PQC Option Pack
Our option pack allows you to implement quantum-resistant algorithms, new cryptographic schemes, public and private key exchanges, encryptions, and more within nShield HSMs and CodeSafe® software.
The Quantum Threat
As IBM Quantum systems scale up toward the stated goal of 4,000+ qubits by 2025 and beyond, they will go beyond the current capabilities of existing physical electronics.
Scientists in China announced their 56-qubit quantum computer took 1.2 hours to complete a task that would take the world’s most powerful supercomputer 8 years to finish.
According to more than a quarter of experts surveyed by the Global Risk Institute, there's a 50% or more chance that quantum computing will compromise cybersecurity by 2033.

How to Prepare Now
Knowing what cryptographic assets and algorithms you have, and where they reside, is a best practice anyway and essential for preparing for post-quantum cryptography.
Data
Know where your long-life data – sensitive data that must remain confidential for 10+ years – resides and understand the data flows.
Cryptographic Assets
Ensure you have a full and clear inventory of all the cryptographic assets (keys, certificates, secrets, and algorithms) across your environments and what they're securing.
Prioritize
Once you know where your highest value data resides, and what cryptography is in use to secure it, you'll know what’s at risk and where to start. Ensure your organization has a fully crypto-agile approach – the ability to easily transition from one algorithm to another – which will be critical for the migration to post-quantum cryptography.
Test
NIST has released their first set of three post-quantum encryption standards, and Entrust PKI as a Service (PKIaaS) for PQ supports all three. It provides both composite and pure quantum-safe certificate authority hierarchies, enabling customers to test or implement quantum-safe scenarios and infrastructure. You can also start prototyping with nShield hardware security modules or nShield as a Service and CodeSafe, our secure software development kit.
Plan
Entrust has a leading role in creating the post-quantum cryptography standards. Trust our Cryptographic Center of Excellence to help you inventory your cryptographic assets, assess your crypto-agility maturity, and plan your migration to post-quantum cryptography with the same company helping to define it.
Plan With Entrust Experts
Entrust is at the forefront of quantum-safe research and development, as we are a participating member of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) PQC Migration Project. Leveraging that knowledge and experience, our Cryptographic Center of Excellence (CryptoCoE) provides the tools and guidance needed to inventory and prioritize your data and cryptographic assets.
