QuantPass is built on cryptographic foundations that are meaningfully different from every other password manager on the market. The pages in this section explain those foundations — what they are, why they matter, and how QuantPass implements them.
This is the right starting point for security teams evaluating QuantPass, CISOs preparing for a quantum migration conversation, and anyone who wants to understand why post-quantum cryptography is a present-day concern rather than a future one.
What Is Post-Quantum Cryptography?
The encryption protecting most enterprise software today relies on mathematical problems that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer will eventually solve. Post-quantum cryptography uses different mathematical foundations — NIST-standardized algorithms that remain secure even against quantum attacks. This page explains how classical encryption works, why it is at risk, and what NIST FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 actually mean in practice.
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
Nation-state adversaries are intercepting and storing encrypted enterprise traffic today, with the intention of decrypting it once quantum computers become capable enough. This is not a hypothetical future threat — collection is a present-day activity. This page explains how the attack works, who is doing it, what data is at risk, and why migrating to post-quantum cryptography is a present-day risk reduction rather than a future-proofing exercise.
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
In a zero-knowledge architecture, the service provider never has access to your plaintext data. Your encryption keys are generated on your device and never transmitted. This page explains what zero-knowledge means in practice, how QuantPass implements it, what it protects against, and how it coexists with enterprise requirements like admin access and audit logging.
The Quantum Layer
QuantPass's three core capabilities — active vault protection, quantum-safe certificate issuance, and hardware-bound quantum authentication — form what we call the Quantum Layer. This page explains what each capability does, why competitors cannot replicate it, and how the three capabilities work together as a unified enterprise identity ecosystem.
