Technology Architecture

How QIST's eight technology programs compose into a post-quantum trust stack across security, connectivity, runtime, and domain control layers.

QIST Technology Portfolio

You can think of the portfolio in three broad bands:

Security & Trust Layer

  • QSIG (Quantum Secure Interoperable Grid) — Multi-chain security and interoperability fabric
  • QNSP (Quantum-Native Security Platform) — security platform for AI, documents, storage, and secrets
  • Tunnel (Quantum-Safe Connectivity Fabric (QSCF)) — quantum-safe connectivity fabric for sovereign, verifiable networks

Autonomy, OS & Intelligence Layer

  • AIOS — Autonomous interoperable OS for agent-based workloads
  • DDIP Platform — Deterministic development intelligence for governed engineering teams

Domain & Vertical Control Planes

  • IACC (Industrial Autonomous Command Cloud) — industrial autonomy command cloud for critical infrastructure
  • WAHH — blockchain multi-rails infrastructure for modern finance
  • Profy (Modern OS for Finance & Compliance) — operating system for finance and compliance-heavy SMBs

Shared Architectural Doctrine

Across all technology programs, QIST emphasizes:

  • Quantum-aware and post-quantum security — Architectures are designed or road-mapped around NIST-standardized PQC families (e.g. Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+, Classic McEliece) and hybrid deployment paths for long-lived secrets and infrastructure.
  • Zero-trust, policy-driven operation — Every program assumes adversarial environments and enforces policy-as-code for access, execution, and change management.
  • Deterministic telemetry and governance — Systems emit structured, verifiable events suitable for audit, simulation, and regulator-grade evidence.
  • Agent- and event-native design — Architectures treat agents, events, and workflows as first-class primitives across OS, development, industrial, and financial domains.
  • Composable adoption  — Each stack can be adopted independently or as part of a unified post-quantum trust stack, depending on sector, risk posture, and regulatory constraints.
