Post-quantum trust fabric

Legacy crypto assumes short horizons; this solution preserves Trust continuity from admission to audit with PQC-aligned controls. Event-native processing with bounded latency means trust decisions arrive inside the control window, while provable assurance means every session and artefact is sealed and verifiable over time.

ML-KEM session binding and ML-DSA signing protect telemetry, artefacts, and evidence over long horizons.

From event to decision

Trust must survive long horizons.

What breaks first

Keys age faster than long-horizon adversaries.

What Størm evaluates

Session integrity, artefact signatures, and evidence seals.

What decision is produced

Admission verdicts and trust continuity metadata.

What the leader gains

PQC readiness with verifiable audit trails.

Your data has an expiration date.

Quantum risk is no longer a 2035 problem. A shorter timeline, hybrid hardware, and harvest-now threats mean encrypted data already has a shelf life.

Adversaries are collecting data today and waiting for quantum-scale decryption. AI vector stores and public key exposure raise the stakes, while the window to migrate to PQC is closing fast.

  • Timeline compression pulls Q-Day into the late 2020s.
  • Hybrid GPU-QPU systems move from lab to deployment.
  • Harvest-now tactics make today’s data tomorrow’s breach.
  • Vector databases and public keys expand the blast radius.
  • PQC migration must be end-to-end, not piecemeal.

Takeaway: Move to post-quantum protection now or accept long-horizon data loss.

Why the timeline moved

Every point from the brief, captured below.

Short, scannable cards covering the full argument and response plan.

The timeline compressed

The 10-year buffer collapsed as hardware and software accelerated. Industry estimates shift Q-Day from 2035 to as early as 2028, so long-lived data must assume earlier exposure.

Hybrid breakthroughs changed the curve

CUDA-Q accelerated Shor-ready research, while NVQLink removed the latency wall between GPUs and QPUs. Together they made hybrid scale-up viable sooner than planned.

Harvest now is already underway

Adversaries are stockpiling encrypted data today for future decryption. Sensitive archives and long-retention datasets are already at risk.

AI data stores widen exposure

Vector databases leak operational context, and public keys harvested now become private keys later. Context theft turns into long-horizon compromise.

PQC must be end-to-end

ML-KEM 1024, ML-DSA, and AES-256 need coordinated coverage across sessions, models, and data. Gaps reintroduce downgrade paths.

Performance and urgency are linked

Zero-latency PQC on NVIDIA hybrid platforms keeps inference fast while the window closes. Delays increase the scale of future compromise.
