PQC Migration WithoutBreaking Production

Understand the real technical impact of quantum-safe cryptography on your architecture. Get migration plans your team can actually execute.

What CTOs Get From Qryptonic

Technical advisory designed for technology leaders who need to migrate complex systems without disruption.

Architecture Impact Analysis

Understand exactly how PQC algorithms affect your system performance, key sizes, bandwidth, and storage. No surprises during migration.

Migration Planning

Phased migration roadmaps with clear milestones, rollback strategies, and hybrid cryptography approaches that minimize disruption.

Team Enablement

Technical training for your engineering teams on PQC implementation, algorithm selection, and performance optimization.

Cloud & HSM Integration

Detailed guides for AWS, Azure, GCP, and major HSM vendors. We know the APIs, limitations, and best practices.

Technical Reality Check

PQC isn't a drop-in replacement. Here's what you need to know.

Performance Impact

  • ML-KEM (Kyber) key generation: ~10µs
  • ML-DSA (Dilithium) signatures: ~100µs
  • Key sizes: 800-1500 bytes (vs 32 bytes ECC)
  • Bandwidth impact: 2-5x increase for TLS handshakes

Algorithm Selection

  • ML-KEM-768: Balanced security/performance for key exchange
  • ML-DSA-65: Recommended for most signature use cases
  • SLH-DSA: Stateless, conservative choice for high-security
  • Hybrid modes: Combine classical + PQC during transition

Integration Points

  • TLS 1.3 with hybrid key exchange
  • Certificate chain updates (larger certs)
  • API signature verification timing
  • HSM firmware requirements
