Hybrid ML-KEM (FIPS 203) Integration
Legacy RSA-2048 and ECDSA P-256 encryption vulnerable to harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks across 8,000 endpoints managing over $500 billion in assets under custody.
The Challenge
The institution's CISO identified 2,847 unique cryptographic implementations across trading platforms, core banking systems, and inter-bank messaging (SWIFT). Legacy HSMs running RSA-2048 for key exchange posed immediate HNDL exposure for transaction data with 25+ year retention requirements.
Our Solution
Deployed hybrid ML-KEM-768 + X25519 key encapsulation using Q-Scout™ discovery across all environments. FPGA-accelerated Kyber implementation in HSMs maintained sub-millisecond latency for high-frequency trading systems. Dual-layer encryption preserves forward secrecy while adding quantum resistance.
