Atsign integrates NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography into core SDKs
Companies mentioned
Atsign said it integrated NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into its core SDKs, targeting data-flow protection against “harvest now, decrypt later” threats. The update addresses concerns that quantum computing could weaken asymmetric cryptographic techniques.
The company said current cryptographic methods, including digital signatures, digital identity, and key exchange, could become vulnerable if sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge. It also referenced “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, in which encrypted secrets and data are stored until quantum capabilities become available.
Atsign framed the integration as part of post-quantum readiness across new, existing, and legacy applications, code, and devices. It also described the approach as embedding NIST-approved algorithms into SDKs intended to enable protection for data flows.
According to Atsign, developers could use the updated SDKs to build new applications, modernize or retrofit existing applications, or protect systems that cannot or will not be modernized. The company said its NoPorts capability provides authenticated, end-to-end encrypted access without exposed inbound ports, and that the new update enables post-quantum protection for connections and the data flow even when the underlying legacy system is not quantum-safe.
“At its core, this integration makes anything built on our platform quantum-safe by default. Achieving post-quantum readiness shouldn’t require multi-year application overhauls. By embedding NIST-approved algorithms directly into our SDKs, we’re delivering true crypto agility so engineering teams can focus on innovation rather than complex cryptographic mechanics.” Atsign CEO Aparna Rayasam said. “Built-in post-quantum security will remove a significant burden for our development and security teams. What we really want to focus on is delivering and securing new capabilities for our customers, and this means we can do just that.” Rick Deacon, Head of Platform at NeuroVitals, said. Forward-looking statements were not included in the release.
