QNSP flagship briefing
The Quantum-Native Security Platform for the post-quantum era.
A cryptographically relevant quantum computer is no longer a theoretical milestone—it is a countdown. Global intelligence agencies, cloud providers, and cybersecurity leaders now agree: the systems that run the modern world must operate under the assumption that powerful quantum adversaries will emerge within this decade.
Yet the modern enterprise stack—cloud KMS, TLS pipelines, identity systems, API gateways, and AI infrastructure—was built entirely on classical cryptography. Once quantum computers break the underlying math, the security foundation collapses.

The Quantum-Native Security Platform (QNSP) is not a PQC library, wrapper, or bolt-on. It is a new category: a quantum-native security layer that protects data, AI models, documents, identity, and workloads across any cloud, any application, any architecture.
Problem statement
Why classical infrastructure cannot survive a quantum break.
Across enterprises, governments, and AI companies, five critical failures emerge the moment cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) arrive.
- Encryption collapses. Every RSA, ECDSA, and ECC-secured asset becomes compromised—instantly and irreversibly—once the underlying math is breakable.
- Long-term data becomes decryptable. Attackers can and do harvest encrypted data today—AI training sets, medical records, financial histories—knowing they can decrypt it later.
- AI models become prime targets. Model weights, prompts, embeddings, inference sessions, and fine-tuning datasets all become high-value, high-risk assets once cryptography fails.
- Identity and access control become brittle. SAML, OAuth, JWT, SSH—every trust layer built on classical signatures becomes questionable under quantum attack.
- Compliance breaks across regulated sectors. Financial services, healthcare, government, and defense all face mandatory PQC requirements; classical stacks cannot simply be "patched" into compliance.
Classical security cannot be retrofit into quantum resilience. It requires a foundational redesign. QNSP exists to provide that redesign as a coherent security architecture.
Security architecture
What the Quantum-Native Security Platform protects.
QNSP protects enterprises at every layer—data, AI workloads, documents, identity, multi-cloud workloads, and distributed applications—by introducing a quantum-secure policy + key + telemetry layer that overlays existing infrastructure across SaaS, private cloud, and air-gapped deployments.
- Data: databases, object storage, backups, telemetry lakes, and archives.
- AI workloads: model training, inference, vector stores, and shared AI services.
- Documents and records: contracts, PDFs, evidence vaults, regulatory archives.
- Identity and access flows across SSO, APIs, and machine-to-machine links.
- Multi-cloud and hybrid workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, on-prem, and sovereign clouds.
Instead of retrofitting PQC into isolated components, QNSP implements a coherent quantum-native security layer that unifies how keys, identities, workloads, and data are protected.
Quantum-native controls
What makes QNSP quantum-native—not just quantum-safe.
QNSP is a full security architecture: policy enforcement, identity, key management, and data/AI protection. Four properties distinguish it from incremental "quantum-safe" upgrades.
Post-quantum key management (PQC-KMS).
At the heart of QNSP is a cryptographically agile key management system that supports Kyber (KEM), Dilithium (signatures), SPHINCS+ (stateless signatures), and hybrid classical + PQC transitions.
- Continuous key rotation and compartmentalization.
- Forward-secure and backward-secure keying strategies.
- Strong tenant/workload isolation for regulated environments.
This is not KMS-as-usual—it is cryptographic survivability.
PQC-hardened identity and access.
Identity is the single most attacked plane in modern systems. QNSP introduces PQC-signed tokens, PQC-secured SSO flows, enclave-backed assertions, and cryptographically verified session lineage.
- PQC-signed JWT/OAuth tokens and custom capability tokens.
- Zero-trust identity posture with PQC enforcement on every hop.
- Audit-ready identity trails for compliance teams.
Quantum-secure AI workload protection.
AI introduces entirely new attack surfaces: model weights, prompts, embeddings, inference sessions, and fine-tuning datasets.
- Enclave-secured inference for sensitive models and data.
- PQC-attested communication between APIs and models.
- PQC-signed provenance and cryptographic lineage for training records.
This is AI-native security, not repurposed cloud tooling.
Data, document, and archive protection.
QNSP applies quantum-native security to documents, contracts, evidence vaults, regulatory archives, and observability data.
- PQC encryption and signatures on data at rest and in motion.
- Cryptographically verified audit trails and immutable lineage.
- Templates suited to financial, government, and other regulated sectors.
Who it is for
Who the Quantum-Native Security Platform is built for.
QNSP is designed for organizations that cannot afford to treat quantum risk as a distant research topic.
- AI companies that must protect models, inference, and training pipelines from quantum-enabled attackers.
- Enterprises modernizing multi-cloud environments and replacing brittle classical cryptography.
- Governments and sovereign clouds implementing PQC mandates, data sovereignty, and national infrastructure readiness.
- Regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, legal, energy, and logistics that must align with emerging PQC regulations.
- Web3 and digital asset firms securing vaults, custody, bridges, and governance with PQC-grade cryptography.
Transition
The transition starts now.
Waiting for CRQC to arrive is not an option. Enterprises must begin transitioning today—before attackers accumulate decades of encrypted data.
QNSP helps organizations reduce quantum exposure, protect AI infrastructure, modernize identity, achieve PQC compliance, and future-proof their cloud strategy.
The choice is simple: patch yesterday's infrastructure or adopt a purpose-built, quantum-native architecture. QNSP is that architecture—the new standard for securing AI, data, identity, and workloads in a world where quantum attacks are inevitable and resilience is mandatory.
