What is Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL)?

HNDL is an attack strategy where adversaries capture encrypted data today to decrypt later when quantum computers become capable of breaking current encryption. Nation-state actors are already harvesting sensitive data. Qtonic Quantum's QScout calculates your cryptographic debt based on data sensitivity, retention requirements, and adversary capability timelines from sources like the Global Risk Institute.

What is post-quantum cryptography (PQC)?

Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms that are secure against attacks by quantum computers. NIST standardized three PQC algorithms in 2024: ML-KEM (FIPS 203) for key encapsulation, ML-DSA (FIPS 204) for digital signatures, and SLH-DSA (FIPS 205) for hash-based signatures. Qtonic Quantum helps organizations migrate from quantum-vulnerable RSA and ECC to these NIST-approved algorithms.

What does Qtonic Quantum do?

Qtonic Quantum is a quantum cyber risk and vulnerability intelligence company. Its tools and services move clients from current cryptography to hybrid readiness to post-quantum readiness through QScout for discovery, QStrike for governed validation, QSolve for migration sequencing, and Qtonic Quantum Lab for Lab readiness evidence.

What is the QStrike Challenge?

The QStrike Challenge is a contract-backed confidence stake for qualifying engagements, subject to the published terms, review, and annual program cap.

How does Qtonic Quantum validate exploitability beyond scanning?

QStrike maintains governed provider-aligned workflow profiles and a release-verified public evidence posture on a provider-calibrated modeled runtime. The website summarizes currently available provider profiles, while modeled coverage is maintained separately as provider availability changes.
