On October 27, Patero Inc., a pioneer in post-quantum cryptography, announced the general availability of its CryptoQoR product certified to support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, a leading enterprise Linux platform. CryptoQoR provides high-performance, low-latency, quantum-resistant encryption for data in motion across critical infrastructure sectors, federal agencies, and DoD applications.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides an efficient, cost-effective, and reliable operating system for enterprise-level deployments. Patero’s CryptoQoR cloaks internet-facing network elements using hybrid post-quantum encryption, thus enabling Red Hat Enterprise Linux network administrators to create end-to-end, hybrid, post-quantum encrypted communication channels.
“CryptoQoR is a crypto-agile software module working across any X86 or ARM platform using FIPS 203 compliant post-quantum cryptographic standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),” said Crick Waters, Patero CEO. “CryptoQoR’s highly efficient design enables users to select and switch cryptographic algorithms, without disruption to operations, making CryptoQoR an ideal solution for securing data-in-motion now and long into the future.”
Mike Epley, chief architect and security strategist at Red Hat, said, “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 provides a strategic and intelligent backbone to fuel the next generation of IT innovation. We are pleased to work with Patero to certify CryptoQoR on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 to equip organizations with a hardware-agnostic solution that can be used to secure communication between existing assets or deployed as a standalone component on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux gateway to deliver post-quantum cryptographic remediation of internet-exposed endpoints.”
Patero’s software works on a broad range of compute platforms, including EDGE gateways, bare metal, virtual machines (VMs), cloud, containers, and mobile devices. Its quantum-key material authentication mechanism supports zero-trust network architectures and, when paired with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, establishes an agile and security-optimized solution that can help reduce attack surfaces and protect critical information from evolving quantum-computing cybersecurity threats.
