Mobile access to critical data is a necessity. But what if that data is classified, sensitive, or subject to stringent regulatory requirements? How can organizations ensure secure mobile access without sacrificing flexibility and efficiency? At Equus, we understand these challenges, which is why we’ve partnered with Arqit and Intel to develop a cutting-edge solution designed to meet the rigorous standards of the U.S. National Security Agency’s Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program.
Our new solution brief, “Post-Quantum Security for Mobile Classified Data Access,” delves into the innovative architecture created to protect classified data in transit to and from mobile devices. For IT decision-makers, this means a solution that addresses the critical need for secure remote work capabilities while staying ahead of emerging threats, particularly those posed by quantum computing.
In this solution brief, you’ll learn about:
- The challenges of current encryption methods which are vulnerable to quantum computer attacks, threatening classified data security, especially for mobile access.
- The solution we developed with Arqit, and Intel for a CSfC-compliant Mobile Access Capability Package (MACP) architecture utilizing Arqit’s quantum-safe key agreement and Intel’s network security acceleration.
- Quantum-safe security from Arqit’s SKA-Platform, which enables dynamic, quantum-safe symmetric key generation and rotation, eliminating manual key management and enhancing security.
- Performance testing showed that nested, dual-layer IPSec tunnels with quantum-safe keying resulted in only a modest performance decrease (around 9% compared to unencrypted traffic), demonstrating feasibility without significant impact.
- Compliance and benefits that the solution meets including NSA’s CSfC requirements. It avoids the need for costly Type 1 encryption and provides a scalable, future-proof method for securing classified data in transit for mobile users.
For IT decision-makers seeking to future-proof mobile security infrastructure and comply with CSfC requirements, this solution brief is an essential resource. Learn how we collaborated with Arqit, and Intel to deliver a robust, scalable, and quantum-safe solution that enables secure mobile access to classified data.
