Are you post-quantum ready?
Asymmetric cryptography is now in widespread use, but algorithms that are secure today can still be broken by the quantum computers of tomorrow. Although a breakthrough in quantum computing might be some years away, companies need to prepare for the transition to quantum-secure systems in good time. Finding suitable post-quantum algorithms and migrating to quantum-secure systems can pose many challenges.
OEMs in particular need to think about post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions now if they want to avoid disruptions and comply with future standards and legislation applicable to automotive security (e.g., BSI, UNECE WP.29).

ESCRYPT’s post-quantum cryptography consulting service supports you in making a smooth transition to quantum-secure solutions.
We help you to understand the challenge, identify fields of action, and develop quantum-secure systems.
Our expertise
In addition to our proven expertise in developing secure automotive architectures, ESCRYPT has gained extensive experience in PQC as a partner in FLOQI (full lifecycle post-quantum PKI) – a funded project that focuses on developing a post-quantum PKI for automotive use cases.
Leading you towards a post-quantum secure future – Overview of services
Guidance for management
- We offer customer workshops that aim to raise awareness of the problems arising from the development of quantum computers
- We give specific recommendations on points of action and prioritization, and help you establish a timeline
- Analysis of the state-of-the-art regarding standardization activities for post-quantum algorithms
Specific technical quantum-safe solutions
- Our post-quantum cryptography experts analyze specific systems (e.g. function or function clusters) that use asymmetric cryptography in order to identify the changes necessary for migration to post-quantum solutions, taking specific requirements into consideration
- We design migration and transition solutions, e.g. for the PKI or key management
Integrating post-quantum solutions into E/E architectures
Our PQC experts analyze post-quantum algorithms with respect to
- Key and signature sizes
- Performance of signing and verifying algorithms
- Memory consumption
- Confidence in security of algorithms
- Use case requirements
We compare resources of deployed ECUs with available benchmarks in order to identify suitable algorithms for different targets/use cases. We offer an analysis of adjacent IT systems (e.g. PKI, backend) with respect to the changes required for post-quantum security.
