Answers for the Post-Classical Transition

"Q-Day"—the moment a cryptanalytically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) reliably factors large primes via Shor's Algorithm—is probabilistically estimated by consensus peer-reviewed panels between 2029 and 2033.

Because national adversaries already record encrypted enterprise communications right now to decipher them retroactively, failure to initiate post-quantum cryptographic migration today compromises secret intellectual property whose shelf-life extends beyond 2029.

We function as an elite cryptographic co-pilot rather than an adversarial auditor. Quaatso embeds with your Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Enterprise Architecture Council, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) leads:

• Non-disruptive Discovery: Our passive network eBPF probes detect asymmetric key exchanges without running invasive penetration scans.
• Modular Microcode: We deliver drop-in dynamic link libraries (DLLs/shared objects) compatible with OpenSSL 3.x, BoringSSL, and Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA).
• Knowledge Transfer: Every engagement includes live technical briefings and algorithmic proofs for your internal principal engineers.

Quaatso strictly adheres to the finalized standards released by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in August 2024, as well as the NSA Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (CNSA 2.0):

We also maintain active testbeds for round 4 candidate algorithms including Falcon (FN-DSA) and stateful hash schemes (LMS / XMSS for firmware validation).

Yes. The primary engineering bottleneck with post-quantum cryptography is not CPU compute cycles—lattice mathematics are actually faster than RSA exponentiation—but rather public key and ciphertext size.

Quaatso's proprietary transport proxy prevents TCP packet fragmentation through handshake compression and QUIC protocol session stitching, ensuring minimal added latency (< 1.8ms in standard WAN testbeds).

A CBOM (Cryptographic Bill of Materials) is a standardized machine-readable inventory (CycloneDX 1.6 compliant) cataloging every algorithm, key length, digital certificate, cryptographic library, and protocol in use across software assets and microservices.

Because cryptographic algorithms will continue to evolve over the next decade, static migration is insufficient. Continuous crypto-agility allows security directors to swap ciphersuites centrally via policy configuration without recompiling core enterprise software code bases.

Engagements follow a calibrated four-phase cadence structured to deliver immediate risk visibility within weeks, rather than multi-year audit blackholes:

Yes. We can set up an isolated test environment where a copy of your network traffic is mirrored (via SPAN/TAP) for safe experimentation.

This enables your team to observe ML-KEM-768 key exchanges and ML-DSA signature verifications alongside live throughput tests without introducing risk to production workloads or violating strict uptime SLAs.

We treat every engagement as highly confidential. All analyses are performed under:

• Strict NDAs: Confidentiality agreements are signed before any system or data review begins.
• Your Environment Only: No client code or cryptographic data leaves client-controlled environments.
• Offline Tooling: Discovery tools can run fully offline, with no telemetry sent back to Quaatso.

We operate under transparent, milestone-bound deliverables rather than open-ended time-and-materials billing. Engagements typically fall into three structural tiers:

Yes. For qualified organisations, we offer a 14-day Targeted Validation POC. We set up a test environment (on your infrastructure or in the cloud) to benchmark your high-volume API payloads through hybrid ML-KEM and classical TLS.

Contact our team through the CTA below to check whether you qualify for a complimentary POC.

No. Quaatso firmly rejects cryptographic vendor lock-in. All core cryptographic primitives delivered through our enterprise engagements are built strictly on standardized, open, royalty-free NIST specifications.

Client organizations retain full intellectual property ownership and perpetual runtime rights to all integration glue code, orchestration scripts, and architectural templates generated during the project.

Our work sits at the intersection of mathematics and systems engineering. Profiles we look for include:

• Lattice Cryptanalysts: Advanced degrees (Ph.D. or equivalent research) in algebraic number theory, Ring-LWE reductions, or side-channel resistance.
• Systems Micro-Architects: High proficiency in Rust, C, and assembly-level vector optimizations (AVX-512, ARM Neon) for low-overhead cryptographic execution.
• Network Protocol Engineers: Deep familiarity with TLS 1.3 internal state machines, BGP/MPLS, and kernel-level eBPF instrumentation.

Quaatso is a remote-first team based in New Delhi, India. We collaborate asynchronously using secure tools.

Occasional in-person time may be needed for client workshops or on-site assessments.

We honor candidates' time by avoiding generic LeetCode puzzles. Our streamlined evaluation involves three stages:

1. Architectural Synchrony (45m): A conversational technical discussion with a member of our team reviewing past systems design work.
2. Asynchronous Micro-Challenge: A real-world take-home exercise (e.g., auditing a flawed lattice implementation or optimizing constant-time memory access).
3. Panel Deep Dive (90m): Interactive design session walking through the exercise with the core engineering group.

All candidates receive a guaranteed decision within 5 business days of panel completion.
