THE LOOMING THREAT OF HARVEST NOW, DECRYPT LATER (HNDL) AND THE PATH TO QUANTUM READINESS

The Decryption Horizon and Compliance Timeline

Multiple expert projections identify 2029 as a critical milestone when quantum computing advances are expected to break current asymmetric cryptography.

CNSA 2.0: By January 1, 2027, all new US National Security Systems must be compliant with the CNSA 2.0 standard.
Certificate Lifespan: The maximum lifespan for public SSL/TLS certificates is projected to drop sharply to just 47 days by 2029.
PQC Standards: The official compliance clock began in August 2024 with the finalization of the first NIST PQC standards, affecting organizations operating in regulated industries and doing business with the U.S. government.

Why the Looming AI & Post-Quantum Threat Undermines Everything

The Problem: The "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" and AI-accelerated threats necessitate an architectural security reset, not just a crypto-patch, to prepare for "Q-Day" (2-3 years away). Current NIST PQC is insufficient, ignoring static keys and centralized key management.

Our Solution: Self-Defending Data Architecture

Q-SecurKey: Eliminates key theft with dynamic, ephemeral, vault-less keys from verified user attributes. No keys-at-rest.
Q-InfoSecur: Binds ACLs directly to the data for instant access revocation and provenance.

Deployment: Flexible SDK or "brilliant overlay" for brownfield systems, providing zero-downtime PQC transport layer protection.

Result: AI-resistant, dynamic, vault-less key management with embedded authorization. Stolen data is useless as the data itself denies access and cannot be decrypted.

WHY your SECURITY ARCHITECTURE IS OBSOLETE

The existing security architecture is failing to withstand rising threats and strict new regulations, primarily because it relies on static, stored encryption keys—a critical single point of failure.

The Problem: Obsolete security faces a "two-front war."

The Flaw: Current encryption methods leave a key vulnerable to theft.
The Threat: Adversaries use a "Harvest Now Decrypt Later" strategy, stockpiling data to be decrypted by future computing power, like quantum computers. AI scouts harvest data while quantum crackers prepare the decryption.

Regulatory Pressure: The DOJ's Data Security Program (DSP) targets sensitive U.S. data. Penalties are severe: up to $1 million per violation, up to 20 years imprisonment, and potential personal liability for CEOs/CTOs. Instead of perimeter protection, the necessary paradigm shift is toward self-protecting data that remains unreadable even after extraction. Q Infoscure enables this by eliminating the keyhole—removing the stored key.

Our PQC+ software platform:

Is a powerful data fabric addressing comprehensive needs across interoperability, consent management, security, and AI governance.
Surpasses the 26 criteria set by the CMS interoperability framework and resolves five key, overlooked AI-related deficiencies.
Uses advanced post-quantum security via a Smart Infosec module to guard against "harvest now, decrypt later" cyberattacks.
Offers AI-specific consent features, enabling granular control over data usage (e.g., allowing diagnosis but prohibiting language model training).
Enhances the standard audit log to track AI activity, providing clear visibility into which AI tools accessed data and for what purpose.
Delivers vital support to doctors by addressing decision paralysis and workflow disruption caused by disconnected AI tools.

PQC+ Architecture. SMART-InfoSecur® and SMART-SecurKey®

SMART-SecurKey®: Defeats "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" by dynamically generating ephemeral, never-stored keys.
SMART-InfoSecur®: Creates "self-enforcing crypto objects" by fusing access policies (ACLs) with encrypted data.
Combined Benefit: Provides superior, layered AI/quantum defense by allowing policies to travel with the data and enabling instant access revocation without re-encryption.

The CEO’s Guide to HNDL (Harvest Now, Decrypt Later) 6 pg

The Threat: Adversaries are employing "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) to steal encrypted data, anticipating decryption via powerful quantum computers between 2028 and 2030.

The Risk: This poses an urgent, silent risk for long-lived, high-value data (e.g., patient records, trade secrets).
CEO Action Items:
- Immediately conduct a cryptographic inventory.
- Prioritize sensitive data for protection.
- Adopt crypto-agile and hybrid systems.
- Coordinate Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) roadmaps with vendors.
Consequence of Delay: Delaying these actions ensures institutional risk.
