Quantum-Resistant Communications

Post-quantum cryptography fully implemented today — not a roadmap promise

Future-Proof

Post-Quantum Cryptography — Implemented Today

Quantum computers will break conventional encryption. That is why post-quantum algorithms are already fully implemented in Silentel — not merely promised on a roadmap. Secure today for your future!

Hybrid Encryption

Conventional ECC and PQC in parallel — backwards-compatible and future-proof at the same time.

Protected Against Harvest Now, Decrypt Later

Communications intercepted today cannot be decrypted even with quantum computers.

No Performance Penalty

Optimised implementation: no difference in latency or battery life.

Approved for the Most Demanding Requirements

The first government solution for iOS and Android with PQC and NATO approval.

Ready for Regulation

Already compliant with forthcoming EU requirements (NIS2, eIDAS 2.0) and NATO standards.

The Window Is Closing

The attack does not wait until quantum computers become available. It is happening now.

Existing Data

Think in terms of protection periods, not years until quantum computers arrive.

The key question is how long your content must remain confidential, rather than when quantum computers will be available. Harvest Now, Decrypt Later works in three steps:

1

Today: Intercept and Store

Encrypted communications are already being systematically intercepted and archived — to decrypt later, rather than read today.

2

Tomorrow: Decrypt Retrospectively

Once powerful quantum computers become available, they will break today's common asymmetric methods — and thus anything transmitted with exclusively conventional protection.

3

The Consequence: Protection Periods Matter

If your content must remain confidential for 10 or more years, conventional encryption is already insufficient today. Anything sent with Silentel has an additional PQC encryption layer — and remains unreadable even to future quantum computers.

Cryptography Beyond Top Secret Level

PQC is not an optional extra in Silentel. It adds another layer over a foundation already overengineered even without the quantum threat:

AES-256Encryption
ECDH P-521Key Exchange
ECDSA P-521Signature
SHA-512Hash

The parameters used exceed the approved requirements for Top Secret (CNSA). In addition, post-quantum cryptography under FIPS 203, 204 and 205 is fully implemented — as an additional encryption layer over all communications, not a beta feature. Full details: Features & Functions →

ICSL was one of the first COMSEC providers in the DACH region to deploy post-quantum cryptography in production — as standard, not in beta.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brief Answers

What is post-quantum cryptography?

Encryption methods that also withstand attacks by quantum computers. The methods used in Silentel are standardised under FIPS 203, 204 and 205 — and are already in production use today, not merely announced.

Does PQC replace conventional encryption?

No — it complements it. Conventional methods (ECC) and PQC run in a hybrid parallel configuration: the PQC layer adds encryption over all communications. The solution remains backwards-compatible and future-proof at the same time.

Do I need new devices?

No. PQC is fully implemented in software on iOS, Android and Windows, with no noticeable difference in latency or battery life.

When will quantum computers capable of breaking encryption arrive?

No reliable date can be given — and that is precisely the point: what matters is your data's required protection period. Anything intercepted today must still be unreadable when that time comes. That is why now is the right time for PQC.

Does this prepare us for regulatory requirements?

The solution is already compliant with forthcoming EU requirements (NIS2, eIDAS 2.0) and NATO standards — as the first government solution for iOS and Android with full PQC implementation and NATO approval. More on proven reliability →
