Post-Quantum Cryptography in Production: NIST Module-Lattice Standards

With NIST ratifying the final FIPS 203 (ML-KEM / Kyber) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA / Dilithium) post-quantum cryptography standards, forward-thinking enterprise InfoSec teams must migrate away from RSA-2048 and ECC before "harvest now, decrypt later" adversary campaigns compromise long-lived telemetry and financial records.

1. Hybrid Key Exchange (X25519 + Kyber768)

PipeFish Labs deploys hybrid TLS 1.3 key negotiation proxies combining traditional elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman with Module-Lattice Key Encapsulation (ML-KEM-768). This dual-layer posture ensures zero regression in performance while safeguarding data against quantum decryption threats.

2. Secrets Management & Automated Vault Rotation

Integrating HashiCorp Vault with post-quantum signed certificates guarantees that API tokens, database connection URIs, and HMAC secret keys rotate automatically every 24 hours.

3. Compliance Timeline

We work directly with CISOs to conduct cryptographic inventory audits, map algorithm migration dependencies, and achieve complete PQC readiness well ahead of federal and financial compliance deadlines.
