Defense Post-Quantum Crypto Transition Assurance
Commercial referenceDEF-037
Migration-evidence and readiness-assurance technology for post-quantum cryptography transition programs and controlled software integration.
Who this is for
Security architects, defense primes, critical-infrastructure operators, sovereign programs and regulated technology organizations.
The problem you already have
Data being stolen today doesn't need to be readable today to be a threat
An adversary can intercept and store your encrypted traffic right now without being able to decrypt any of it — current encryption holds. The risk is what happens once a quantum-capable computer exists: anything encrypted today with a vulnerable algorithm becomes readable retroactively. For data that needs to stay secret for a decade or more, that adversary is already holding the ciphertext and waiting.
Migrating everything "eventually" isn't a prioritization — it's a bet that the easy systems mattered most
Without an explicit priority order, migration effort tends to go toward whatever's simplest to change first, not whatever's most exposed. A moderately complex system holding classified data with a fifteen-year secrecy requirement can sit behind a simple public-facing system in the queue for no reason other than which one was easier to touch.
Reviewing readiness doesn't require your private keys
Never requested, and structurally rejected if submitted: private keys, live credentials, production cryptographic material, or access to systems outside the migration scope.
Real-World Operational Scenario: The Flag-Day Cutover That Broke Everything Signed Yesterday
Scenario: An organization switches its signing algorithm on a target date.
An organization plans to switch its signing algorithm to a post-quantum primitive on a fixed cutover date.
WITHOUT this check: Every signature issued under the old algorithm before the cutover is invalidated the moment the switch happens, breaking verification of historical evidence.
WITH this check: The migration runs dual-signature — both algorithms valid side by side — with a migration ledger preserving the old evidence history rather than overwriting it, until every dependent system has confirmed migration.
What BivectorAI Provides
Priority Ranked by Exposure, Not by Ease
Each cryptographic asset is scored by data sensitivity weighed against migration complexity — so a hard-to-migrate system holding long-secrecy data can outrank an easy system holding public data, instead of the reverse.
Migration Is Dual-Signature, Never a Flag Day
Both old and new algorithms remain valid side by side until every dependent system has moved, with a migration ledger preserving old evidence rather than overwriting it.
Dependency Inventory Includes What the Plan Didn't Account For
Libraries, vendor components, and inherited trust chains are checked, not just the systems explicitly listed.
Evidence for Migration Review, Not Your Private Keys
The review works from inventory and migration-schedule metadata — never live credentials, and never performs the migration itself.
Prove the Gate Before Broader Integration (Zero-Risk Evaluation)
Do not buy the claim. Test the gate.
Feed a synthetic dependency inventory with one hidden component still on the legacy algorithm, mixed with assets of varying sensitivity and migration difficulty. It succeeds only if it flags the hidden gap and produces a priority order that puts high-sensitivity, harder-to-migrate assets ahead of easy, low-sensitivity ones.
This initial trial measures dependency-gap detection and prioritization accuracy. Commercial scale-up occurs only after measured results prove value in your own lab environment.
What you provide
Your existing cryptographic inventory, dependency manifests, and migration-schedule metadata. No private keys, live credentials, or production cryptographic material are required.
What BivectorAI actually hands you
Evidence package
- migration-readiness evidence
- dependency and transition-risk records
- policy/approval review queue
- customer-safe transition handoff
Integration package
Customer-safe input/output contract, local/private integration boundary, validation fixtures and reviewable evidence artifacts.
Deployment model
Qualified local, private or on-premise integration. No public Defense API and no uncontrolled public execution surface.
Technical disclosure
Customer-visible behavior and evidence are disclosed. Confidential implementation details, protected core methods and internal technical data are not published.
What we will never ask you for
Never requested, and structurally rejected if submitted: private keys, live credentials, production cryptographic material, or access to systems outside the migration scope, or your system's core design data. Every submission is checked against this rejection list before any evidence logic runs — a malformed or over-broad submission is blocked and reported back to you, not silently processed.
How it actually runs
Engagement path & current acquisition terms
DEF-037 · Tier B — Mission Software
Secures a defined diligence and exclusive-negotiation period. Any option credit is agreed in writing as part of the signed commercial terms.
Starting integration engineering, customer-safe adaptation, local/private deployment work, validation and acceptance evidence for the agreed environment.
Scope-dependent consideration for negotiated exclusivity in a defined field, program, platform class, territory and rights scope.
Engineering support, update access, security maintenance, evidence infrastructure and agreed sustainment services.
Applied to attributable net program revenue under the definitive agreement, subject to negotiated exclusions and accounting rules.
Commercial boundary. These are indicative starting terms, not a binding offer. Final price depends on exclusivity scope, field of use, territory, sublicensing, technical-data rights, integration obligations, export-control review, support requirements and definitive agreement.
IP boundary. Exclusive FOU does not automatically transfer ownership of BivectorAI Background IP. Worldwide/all-defense rights, sublicensing, source-level technical-data rights or assignment require separate negotiated consideration.
