Get ready for the quantum leap.

Ready or not, a new era for security is on the not-so-distant horizon. That's why Keyfactor created PQC Lab — a place for IT leaders, security pros, and developers to learn, explore, and prepare for the post-quantum world.

WHY NOW

Change is underway.
It's time to panic prepare.

After decades of use, the encryption we rely on today to secure websites, applications, and virtually every digital transaction, is well past its prime. It's not a matter of if, but when. Whether quantum computers pose a real threat today or in ten years, the consensus is, it's time for a change — a big change.

WHERE TO BEGIN

Steps to modernize your
cryptography strategy

Inventory

Inventory

Planning for post-quantum starts today. Organizations must inventory all the systems and applications that rely on public-key cryptography, then categorize and prioritize their transition to post-quantum.

Test and explore

Test and explore

Testing post-quantum algorithms shouldn’t wait until they are standardized. Get ahead of the curve by testing algorithms in a lab environment to identify compatibility and infrastructure requirements.

Strategize

Strategize

Proactive planning and education are key. Create a plan for transitioning your organization’s systems, assess new tools and technologies, and know how your vendors are preparing for the changes ahead.

“Although NIST will not publish the new post-quantum cryptographic standard for use by commercial products until 2024, CISA and NIST strongly recommend organizations start preparing for the transition now…”

GET HANDS ON

Welcome to the

PQC Playground

This is your turf. No sales. No commitments. Just an open playground to explore and
get-hands on with open-source toolkits, free trial instances, and resources developed
by Keyfactor's PQC experts. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, explore.

ASSESS

Get visibility & assess your cryptographic posture.

Assess your organization's PKI and certificate management maturity. Build your inventory of cryptographic assets by scanning your network, CAs, and endpoints with a Keyfactor Command 30-day test drive.

ISSUE

Create a CA and issue post-quantum certificates in your lab environment.

Try post-quantum PKI with EJBCA Cloud in Azure or AWS. EJBCA supports Dilithium and FALCON NIST candidate algorithms for root CAs, issuing CAs, and end-entities.

SIGN

Sign artifacts with post-quantum algorithms.

Get started with signing artifacts using FALCON, Dilithium, and SPHINCS+. Simply start up a 30-day trial of SignServer in Azure or AWS, or download the open-source SignServer Community.

BUILD

Build and test apps with post-quantum capable cryptographic APIs.

Generate a post-quantum hybrid certificate — a certificate signed with both a classical and post-quantum algorithm — using the Bouncy Castle Kotlin project.
