Post-Quantum Cryptography Security Testing

Structured security testing for systems implementing post-quantum cryptography, including PQC and hybrid deployments. We assess implementation correctness, configuration weaknesses, key management practices, and migration risks—not just the algorithms' strength

The Threat Isn't a Future Quantum Computer—It's What's Being Harvested Today

Post-quantum security isn't about defending against an attack that's happening right now—it's about defending against data theft that's already happening, aimed at decryption that hasn't become possible yet. Adversaries can capture encrypted traffic and data today and simply store it, waiting for quantum computers capable of breaking RSA and ECC to arrive. For any data that needs to stay confidential for years—health records, financial data, classified information, long-term IP—that's already a live risk, not a hypothetical one. Quantum-resistant cryptography testing is how you find out where that risk actually sits before it becomes a headline.

01
Standards have arrived
NIST finalized its first PQC standards (FIPS 203/204/205) in 2024, with migration guidance (SP 1800-38) already published — no longer a research-stage problem
02
National security has a hard deadline
The NSA's CNSA 2.0 suite sets deadlines for national security systems — support and prefer by 2025-2027, exclusive use by 2033, full transition by 2035
03
“Harvest now, decrypt later” makes timing matter now
Any data that needs multi-year confidentiality is already exposed to future decryption if it's protected with classical algorithms today

Why Teams Choose HackenProof for Post-Quantum Readiness

Researchers in classical and post-quantum cryptography

Our community includes researchers in cryptographic implementation review and hybrid classical/PQC configurations—not just generic testing. They know where cryptographic logic breaks, not just where forms are unvalidated, and use AI to map vulnerability vectors.

A "protect it long-term" mindset, not a checklist

Post-quantum readiness isn't a one-time fix—it's protecting data that needs confidentiality for years against a threat still arriving. That rigor carries into how we approach cryptographic inventory, migration testing, and hybrid deployment review.

Compliance-ready reporting

Every engagement produces documentation mapped to what your compliance and risk teams expect—clear findings, retest confirmation, and reports formatted against NIST's PQC standards and CNSA 2.0 migration guidance.

Crypto-Agility & Quantum-Readiness Assessment

Find out what you're actually exposed to before you plan a migrationAlso known as a cryptographic agility assessment or PQC security audit—a structured look at how your systems use cryptography today: algorithms, protocols, certificates, and where "harvest now, decrypt later" risk is highest, so you know what to migrate first.

Best for: organizations that know migration is coming but lack a clear cryptographic footprint.

PQC Penetration Testing

Point-in-time assessments of your PQC and hybrid deploymentsStructured, scoped penetration tests covering post-quantum and hybrid classical/PQC implementations—checking for implementation flaws, misconfigurations, and downgrade risks, not just the theoretical strength of algorithms. Get a clear, actionable report with severity ratings and remediation guidance.

Best for: teams that have already begun a PQC migration and need to validate the implementation before or after rollout.

Bug Bounty for Post-Quantum Systems

Continuous testing that scales with your attack surfaceLaunch a public or private bug bounty program for systems implementing post-quantum cryptography and get continuous security testing from a global community of researchers.

Best for: organizations with an evolving cryptographic footprint needing ongoing coverage.

Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) for Post-Quantum Systems

A safe, structured channel for external researchers to report issuesGive ethical hackers and the wider cryptography research community a clear, legally safe way to report vulnerabilities—before they end up on social media or in the wrong hands. A public VDP signals security maturity to regulators, partners, and customers alike.

Best for: organizations that need a public-facing disclosure channel for compliance or trust reasons.

AI-Powered Vulnerability Validation for Post-Quantum Systems

Faster, more accurate triage—without losing human reviewHackenProof uses AI to speed up vulnerability validation and triage, filtering out duplicate and low-signal reports so your team sees confirmed, high-impact findings sooner—without sacrificing the human expert review cryptographic implementation issues need.

Best for: security teams that need to cut noise and speed up time-to-fix across a high volume of reports.

Whitelabel Vulnerability Coordination Platform for Post-Quantum Systems

Standalone solution branded specifically for your businessA fully whitelabeled vulnerability coordination platform, built with all the core features your organization needs to manage disclosure and remediation under your own brand—giving you the infrastructure of a mature security program without building it in-house.

Best for: organizations that want their own branded coordination program, not HackenProof-branded.
