The goal of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), also called quantum-resistant cryptography (QRC), is to develop cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers and can interoperate with existing communications protocols and networks.

In this second paper, we cover challenges for deploying QR encryption, including pre-shared key (PSK) management, RFC 8784 - an extension of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) v2 that allows it to be resistant to a quantum computer by using PSKs, and how to implement data-at-rest (DAR) and data-in-transit (DIT) QR encryption solutions today using commercial FPGA devices and off-the-shelf hardware.

A Type 1 product is a classified or Controlled Cryptographic Item (CCI) endorsed by the NSA for securing classified and sensitive U.S. government information.

Learn about the NSA CSfC program, data at rest encryption, capability package, protection profiles, components & layers, and trusted integrators.

Classified data-at-rest (DAR) faces both internal and external threats that can subject sensitive data to exploitation.

Modern flight test programs generate huge amounts of data that require interrogation to investigate phenomena and ascertain program status as well as for use in final reporting.

Classified data-at-rest (DAR) in deployed applications faces both internal and external threats that can subject sensitive data to exploitation.

Network attached storage (NAS) devices have the ability to protect and store critical data at high-performance speeds.

Protecting top-secret data on network attached storage with National Security Agency (NSA) approved encryption for military aircraft.

This paper discusses the advanced characteristics of both network-attached storage devices and direct-attached storage devices.

Find out how seaborne applications like UUVs, USVs, and submarines store and protect top-secret data-at-rest with a network-attached storage device.

This paper focuses on deployed DAR devices. Whether you build a NAS or buy an existing COTS NAS, each approach has advantages and disadvantages.
