Research note QS-RN-001: hybrid signing specification in draft

Security built to outlast quantum.

QuantSEC researches and builds multi-layered cryptographic software and hardware that protects your data and your crypto, today and after large quantum computers arrive.

What you're looking at: a two-dimensional lattice with a shifting basis. The orange line is its shortest vector. ML-KEM and ML-DSA, the new post-quantum standards, are secure because finding that vector is believed to be infeasible in hundreds of dimensions, even for a quantum computer.

Move your cursor across it.

Our mission

Build cryptographic infrastructure that never has a last secure day

Most wallets and services rely on a single signature scheme that a large quantum computer will break. We layer independent defenses so no single failure exposes a key, and we plan every upgrade years before it's needed.

How the layers work

Three principles behind every system we ship

Nested shells: transport, key management, signing, storage and audit each assume the layer outside them has already failed.

A clock-glitch attack window. Our hardware has to keep its secrets while we deliberately corrupt its power and timing.

Lattice parameters can be raised as attacks improve. Crypto-agility means a stronger setting is a software update, not a migration.

The numbers we design to

These are engineering targets, not results. We'll report measured figures against each one as research notes are published.

Defense layers
5

Independent layers between an attacker and a key, each tested as if the others had failed.

NIST standards
3

Post-quantum algorithms in scope: ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204) and SLH-DSA (FIPS 205).

Security margin
128-bit

Minimum post-quantum security level for every primitive we deploy.

Single points of failure
0

No device, server, person or algorithm whose compromise alone could move user funds. This is the rule every design review checks first.

Planning horizon
10 years

Every algorithm we use has a documented replacement path before it ships. The roadmap runs in 1, 2, 5 and 10-year horizons.

Open source
100%

Of our core cryptographic libraries and device firmware, published with reproducible builds so anyone can check what runs.

Protect what you hold before the threat arrives

Data encrypted today can be stored and decrypted later. Public keys on-chain today can be attacked later. Follow the research and see how we're closing that window.
