The Quantum Challenge

We Pay $2 Million
For Clean Cryptography

90-120 day white-box cryptographic assessment using real quantum hardware. Zero critical vulnerabilities after complete evaluation and independent validation = $2 million wire transfer.

How the Challenge Works

A rigorous, transparent process designed to find every cryptographic weakness.

90-120 Day Assessment

Comprehensive white-box cryptographic analysis with full source code, configs, and memory access.

Quantum Hardware Testing

LLM26 AI orchestration across IBM Quantum, AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, and Google platforms.

Independent Validation

AI-driven analysis combined with manual cryptanalysis by former NSA cryptographers.

$2M Payment

Zero critical vulnerabilities after complete evaluation = wire transfer within 30 days.

If Vulnerabilities Found

  • Detailed report with remediation roadmap
  • Proof-of-concept demonstrations
  • Executive summary for board presentation
  • Re-validation at no additional cost

If Zero Critical Vulnerabilities

$2,000,000

Wire transfer within 30 days of independent validation

To date: $0 paid out. Every client assessment has discovered critical vulnerabilities.

Real Vulnerabilities We've Found

Examples from Fortune 500 assessments (anonymized). These are the types of critical flaws that quantum computers will exploit.

Hardcoded TLS private keys in microservices
Deprecated SHA-1 signatures in legacy authentication
Predictable IV generation in CBC mode encryption
Reused ephemeral Diffie-Hellman parameters
Insufficient PBKDF2 iterations in password hashing
Missing OCSP stapling in certificate validation

Eligibility Requirements

The Quantum Challenge is designed for organizations with mature security programs ready to prove their cryptographic resilience.

  • Fortune 1000 companies, critical infrastructure operators, or government agencies
  • Subject to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, or FedRAMP compliance
  • Production systems with cryptographic protections
  • Ability to provide complete white box access
  • All findings confidential under NDA

Ready to Take the Challenge?

Prove your cryptographic security or get a detailed roadmap to achieve it. Either way, you win.
