Strategic Advancements in Resilient Space Technologies for PWSA Enhancement - Cryptography

This SBIR Direct to Phase II Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) project aims to produce a Technology Readiness Level 8 (TRL-8), low Size, Weight, and Power-Cost (SWaP-C)  quantum-resistant encryption device and achieve National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 certification. The new encryption device  is based on Isidore Quantum®  and will enable point-to-multipoint encryption and facilitate cross-domain operations, ensuring that classified military networks can operate securely alongside unclassified commercial networks.  Isidore Quantum® will ensure robust protection against cyber threats while maintaining high network performance and efficiency. The autonomous key management and zero-trust architecture inherent in Isidore reduces vulnerabilities and streamline security operations, making it an ideal solution for the demanding requirements of modern space communication networks, which require both high security and operational efficiency.
