CRYPTO AGILITYCONSULTING
Build cryptographic systems that can swap algorithms without rewriting applications. PTG designs crypto agility architectures that protect your investment as standards evolve.
What PTG Delivers
Crypto agility is the ability to switch cryptographic algorithms without rebuilding your systems.
Cryptographic Abstraction Layer Design
Architect an abstraction layer that separates your applications from specific cryptographic implementations.
Algorithm Registry and Lifecycle
Build a centralized registry that manages algorithm selection, rotation schedules, and deprecation timelines.
Protocol-Level Agility
Enable TLS, SSH, VPN, and other protocols to negotiate post-quantum algorithms alongside classical ones.
Key Management Modernization
Upgrade key management systems to handle larger PQC key sizes and hybrid key encapsulation.
Testing and Validation
Automated testing frameworks that validate cryptographic transitions do not break functionality or performance.
NIST CSWP 39 Alignment
Align your crypto agility program with the NIST Crypto Agility standard (CSWP 39).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is crypto agility?
Crypto agility is the ability to switch cryptographic algorithms, protocols, and key sizes without modifying application code. It protects your investment when standards change or vulnerabilities are discovered.
Why do I need crypto agility for PQC migration?
PQC standards are still maturing. Crypto agility ensures you can adopt new algorithms as they are finalized, swap out deprecated ones, and maintain backward compatibility during the transition.
How long does a crypto agility engagement take?
Initial architecture design takes 4 to 8 weeks. Full implementation depends on the size and complexity of your environment, typically 3 to 12 months.
