QNSP (Quantum-Native Security Platform)

QNSP is a multi-tenant SaaS platform that applies NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography across AI runtimes, document management, file/object storage, and secrets fabric, enforced via zero-trust policy and continuous compliance telemetry.

Role in the QIST Stack

QNSP acts as QIST’s canonical blueprint for PQC-first cloud security:

• demonstrates practical deployment of Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+, and Classic McEliece across services
• aligns with Executive Order 14028, NIST PQC migration guidance, and sectoral mandates (HIPAA, FFIEC, DoD baselines) in its control design

Core Capabilities

• full-stack PQC coverage with cryptographic agility and hybrid fallback
• zero-trust enforcement for AI, documents, storage, and secrets with centralized policy
• compliance-by-design telemetry mapped to regulatory and standards frameworks
• cloud-native delivery with automatic update channels and no customer infrastructure burden

Research & Standards Focus

• PQC migration playbooks for existing cloud estates
• evidence-driven zero-trust architectures for AI and data workloads
• sector-specific baselines combining PQC, logging, and governance

Institutional Role & Independence

Commercial deployments of QNSP are operated by independent entities (such as CUILabs). QIST engages with QNSP as a research reference architecture — not as a commercial service provider or cloud vendor.
