Feature: Quantum-Resistant Cryptography

Preparing for the future with Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (QRC)

As quantum computing evolves, Keeper is proactively strengthening encryption protocols to ensure your data remains secure, both today and in the future.

Understanding the quantum threat

Understanding the quantum threat

Quantum computers, once powerful enough, can break all modern public-key cryptographic algorithms. This includes:

  • RSA encryption and signatures
  • ECDSA, Schnorr and BLS digital signatures
  • ECDH key exchange

These algorithms underpin everything from secure websites and digital identities to encrypted record sharing.

How Keeper delivers post-quantum security

Hybrid cryptography

Hybrid cryptography

Keeper utilizes a hybrid model, combining public-key cryptography with quantum-resistant algorithms. We've implemented support for algorithms selected by NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process, including Kyber.

Zero trust and post-quantum

Zero trust and post-quantum

Keeper's zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture ensures that encryption and decryption happen only on the user's device. Combined with QRC, this provides end-to-end security that cannot be decrypted, now or in the future.

Frequently asked questions

What is quantum-resistant cryptography?

Quantum-resistant cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms that are secure against attacks from both classical and quantum computers. These algorithms are designed to replace or augment current standards like RSA and ECC.

Is Keeper already using quantum-resistant cryptography?

Keeper is in the process of implementing quantum-resistant encryption protocols, with plans to integrate NIST-standard PQC algorithms into the platform in a phased approach.

What makes Keeper's platform “quantum-ready”?

Keeper's client-side encryption model and zero-knowledge architecture provide the ideal foundation for transitioning to post-quantum cryptographic standards with minimal disruption to our customers.

How is Keeper aligned with NIST's post-quantum cryptography standards?

Keeper is adopting hybrid Kyber-ECC encryption for client-server communications. Kyber, a NIST-approved (FIPS 203) quantum-resistant encryption algorithm, protects against future quantum threats, while ECC ensures strong security and compatibility with current standards.

Is this relevant only to highly regulated industries?

Any organization that values long-term data protection should implement quantum-resistant cryptography. “Harvest now, decrypt later” attacks can affect any sector.
