Cryptsoft's KMIP and PKCS#11 SDKs now include support for interoperable
post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms. Cryptsoft's new PQC-enabled
SDKs are an enhancement to its existing market-leading SDKs and include
verified and interoperable support for NIST's (National Institute
of Standards and Technology) standardized post-quantum cryptographic
algorithms: ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204), and SLH-DSA (FIPS 205).
With progress towards cryptographically relevant quantum computers
(CRQC) accelerating, organizations that cryptographically protect their
data have been looking to transition from the PQC planning phase to the
PQC testing phase for some time but have been frustrated by a lack of
PQC-readiness in the available products and technologies.
PQC-readiness in security products has been dependent on standards
(NIST, KMIP, PKCS#11, IETF LAMPS) being defined and published and
PQC-ready versions of popular cryptographic toolkits (OpenSSL Library,
Bouncy Castle) becoming available. With these dependencies now resolved,
PQC-ready products including Cryptsoft's key management SDKs, are now
available.
Licensing and implementing Cryptsoft's latest SDKs with support for all
three NIST PQC algorithms offers a clear path for CISO's and Product
Managers to confidently navigate the challenges that will be created by
cryptographically relevant quantum computers.
"It has been a long journey from proposed post-quantum algorithms to
deployable implementations in the market. By updating our SDKs to KMIP
v3.0 and PKCS#11 v3.2, the first PQC-ready versions of their respective
standard, current and future users of our SDKs will have the PQC tools
to effectively and proactively protect their data assets. With our
successful completion of a multi-vendor KMIP PQC interoperability test,
Cryptsoft licensees can confidently deploy solutions today that will
remain safe in the quantum computing future"

Press Release.
Cryptsoft published a Statement of Use, which is
required as part of the OASIS standards development process
in order for a committee specification to qualify to move
forward as an OASIS standard.
The statement of use covers the most recent KMIP 3.0 PQC
interoperability testing with results available at kmip-interop.org
"Cryptsoft continues to demonstrate our commitment to
open public standards for key management, implementing
and supporting the latest developments from the
OASIS KMIP Technical Committee." said Tim Hudson, CTO of Cryptsoft
