Quantum-resistant by design
Your compliance evidence has to outlive the arrival of quantum computers.
DataStrict protects governed traffic with hybrid post-quantum TLS and signs every record in the audit Ledger with a post-quantum signature - so the boundary and its evidence stay trustworthy in the quantum era.
Why now
The cryptography that secures the web today - TLS key exchange, the encryption on data in transit - rests on math a large enough quantum computer can break. It does not exist yet, but an adversary does not need it yet: they can record encrypted traffic now and decrypt it the day it arrives.
For most systems that is a distant problem. For a governance platform it is a today problem, because the most valuable thing DataStrict holds is built to last: the audit Ledger. Regulated evidence is retained for seven to ten years or more - long enough to cross the horizon where quantum decryption becomes real. Evidence that can be forged in the future is not evidence. So the boundary, and everything it records, is built quantum-resistant now.
The handshake
Every connection derives its session key from a classical exchange and a post-quantum one at the same time. The session is safe unless an attacker breaks both - so you keep the proven strength of X25519 today and gain ML-KEM's resistance to quantum attack, with nothing to give up.
Where it runs
Every connection into the gateway negotiates a hybrid key exchange - classical X25519 combined with ML-KEM-768. An adversary recording traffic today cannot decrypt it later, even with a quantum computer.
Every decision the Ledger records is signed with ML-DSA. The hash-chain proves nothing was reordered or removed; the post-quantum signature proves no record can be forged - now or after quantum breaks today's signatures.
When agents and services call one another across the fabric, the session is established over a post-quantum handshake - so the credentials and data flowing between autonomous actors are not harvestable for future decryption.
The privileged credentials agents use to reach models, tools, and data are wrapped with post-quantum key encapsulation at rest - the keys to the kingdom protected against a harvest-now, decrypt-later attack on the vault itself.
The standards
DataStrict builds on the algorithms NIST finalized as federal standards - the same primitives major cloud and network providers are rolling out. No novel cryptography to trust, no experimental scheme to defend in a security review.
FIPS 203Key encapsulation - establishes the shared secret for each session, hybridized with X25519.FIPS 204Digital signatures - signs every entry in the audit Ledger so records cannot be forged.FIPS 205Stateless hash-based signatures - a conservative backup scheme built on different math.Verify it
Post-quantum protection is only worth anything if you can confirm it is on. One command shows the key-exchange group your connection actually negotiated - and the docs walk through confirming the signed Ledger too.

Because DataStrict runs as a single-tenant private-cloud deployment inside your own boundary, quantum-resistant protection is not something you hope your vendor enabled - it runs on your infrastructure, under your keys. The same holds air-gapped, where there is no edge provider to lean on at all.
It is the same discipline as the rest of the platform: zero-trust on every request, evidence on every decision, and now cryptography chosen so both stay true after quantum computers arrive.
