Post-quantum security.
The cryptographic algorithms protecting the world today — RSA, ECDSA, Diffie-Hellman — will be broken by quantum computers. PTH Meridian has already built the replacement. Open source. Canadian. Independently auditable. NIST FIPS 203/204/205 compliant. Ready now.
The security stack
Two open-source tools. From raw post-quantum key generation to a complete six-phase cryptographic trust platform.
Post-quantum cryptographic primitive engine implementing ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA. NIST FIPS 203/204/205 compliant. Hybrid classical/quantum modes for organizations transitioning gradually. REST API and live developer dashboard.
Six-phase cryptographic trust platform with seven hardening steps. Shamir Secret Sharing, Argon2id Key Vault, Certificate Authority with real-time OCSP, Secure Channel, HMIT Audit Engine, Identity Wallet and Zero-Knowledge Proofs with bounds-binding v2. One vulnerability discovered internally and patched before release.
The threats are real
Active threats that post-quantum cryptography defeats. Not theoretical future risks.
Adversaries record encrypted traffic today to decrypt when quantum computers arrive. Data encrypted with classical algorithms is already compromised.
Shor's algorithm forges RSA and ECDSA signatures — the algorithms protecting software, financial transactions and legal documents worldwide.
GPU clusters test billions of passwords per second against weakly derived keys. Argon2id requires 64MB RAM per attempt — economically infeasible at scale.
Unbound range proofs allow attackers to substitute valid proofs for different claims — claiming adult eligibility with a proof for a different range.
Single administrators with unilateral key access are catastrophic insider threat vectors. One person can sign fraudulent certificates or destroy audit records.
Cached CRL downloads leave hour-long windows where revoked certificates appear valid. A credential revoked at 9am authenticates successfully at 9:02am.
Seven hardening steps
AKR Naos was not just built — it was hardened. Seven steps from functional prototype to production-grade security infrastructure.
NIST published the post-quantum cryptographic standards in 2024. The US government mandated migration for all federal agencies by 2030. Canada's CSE is actively working on transition requirements.
Most organizations are not ready. Average enterprise migration takes three to five years. Organizations starting in 2027 will not finish by 2030.
PTH Meridian has already implemented the standards. Open source. Auditable. The work is done.
AKR KeyGen and AKR Naos are open source and free to use. For integration support, custom deployment or security consultation — get in touch.
