Hodos Post-Quantum Cryptography Solution for Quantum-Resilient Security

Hodos PQC: Post Quantum Cryptography for Modern Quantum Era

Hodos is a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) platform that implements finalized NIST standards, including ML-KEM (FIPS 203) for key exchange and CRYSTALS-Dilithium (FIPS 204) for digital signatures. Hodos (PQC) is the next generation of protocol which will help replace today's RSA-based systems with an improved quantum-resistant transport layer. Engineered to support FIPS 140-3 certification and meet strict European agency (BSI) guidance, Hodos utilizes advanced mathematical algorithms that quantum computers cannot crack. These standardized functions are far harder to backtrack as compared to the prime factorization and elliptic curve functions on which the current PKI is based on.

Following eight years of global cryptographic competition, NIST has officially finalized its post-quantum standards. Hodos utilizes these finalized lattice-based algorithms to deliver production-ready, enterprise-grade security today, while also supporting FALCON and SPHINCS+ for specialized use cases. To ensure a seamless transition and backward compatibility, the platform supports a hybrid mode combining classical and post-quantum algorithms. Critically, Hodos integrates with Tropos QRNG to ensure all cryptographic keys benefit from true quantum randomness, eliminating the vulnerabilities associated with software-generated pseudo-randomness.

Achieving Cryptoagility with Hodos - Post
Quantum Cryptography

Rapid digital transformation is heightening security risks and making systems prone to vulnerabilities. Cryptosystems should be agile and move at the same speed as digital adoption.

PKI is highly adopted because of its ease of usage. Integration is a challenge when changing cryptosystems, hence gaps must be avoided. Hodos (PQC) uses NIST standards for easy integration with current and future systems.

It is easy to use and simpler to integrate when compared to PKI. Hodos (PQC) is platform-independent and can be integrated into present servers, mobile devices, FPGA, PCIe-cards and more. QNu has ported the algorithms to FPGAs for additional speed-up and enhanced performance.

HODOS ARCHITECTURE & POSITIONING

Hodos is QNu Labs’ proprietary, high-security Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) designed to secure critical infrastructure against both current and future both Classical and Qiuantum cryptographic threats. By uniquely combining Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) seeding, and Steganography, Hodos delivers a multi-layered defense model that significantly outperforms standard baseline compliance frameworks.
