Deployment topologies

Five deployment models. Five orthogonal axes. Sized to your regulatory posture.

The homepage architecture diagram renders the Cloud-default flow — the model most self-serve customers start on. Regulated buyers, sovereign-cloud operators, and air-gapped environments compose a different topology from the same underlying platform. Every model below is a real production code path; ask in any sales / security engagement for the one that matches your posture.

Default

Cloud (default)

Public internet → QNSP edge gateway → multi-tenant cloud services.

Fastest onboarding. Same wire contract as every other topology. Free tier available with no credit card. This is the model rendered in the homepage architecture diagram.

Self-serve developers · SMBs · early-stage enterprise pilots · proof-of-value engagements.

Topology

VPC-peered

Private VPC peering between customer VPC and a QNSP VPC in the customer's AWS region.

No public-internet path between customer apps and QNSP services. Traffic stays on the AWS backbone. Edge gateway still terminates PQC TLS, but the ingress lives inside customer-controlled network space.

Regulated FSI · enterprises with private-network discipline · workloads under DLP / network-segmentation policy.

Topology

Private endpoint

AWS PrivateLink / Azure Private Endpoint / GCP Private Service Connect terminating QNSP services.

QNSP services reachable only via private DNS inside the customer's chosen cloud. No NAT, no public ingress, no shared edge. Best for single-cloud enterprises that have standardised on PrivateLink-class connectivity.

Single-cloud enterprise (AWS-only, Azure-only, GCP-only) · platform teams enforcing zero-public-ingress.

Topology

On-premises

QNSP services run inside the customer's datacenter, container platform, or dedicated rack.

Control plane and data plane both live in customer infrastructure. QNSP delivers signed update bundles; telemetry can be locally retained or streamed to the customer's SIEM. No outbound dependency on the QNSP cloud for steady-state operation.

High-classification government · defence · SCIF / IL5-class environments · critical-infrastructure operators.

Topology

Air-gapped

Fully disconnected — no inbound or outbound network path to the QNSP cloud at all.

Updates delivered as signed offline bundles (PQC-signed manifests + cryptographic provenance). Telemetry written to local SIEM only. Crypto policy enforcement, audit chain, and evidence packs all operate inside the air-gap.

Sovereign defence · SCIFs · classified workloads · critical national infrastructure · regulators requiring physical-network isolation.

Composable across five orthogonal axes

The deployment model above is the network-topology axis. Four additional axes — tenancy, HSM custody, region / failover, and compute class — are configured independently. Any combination is supported subject to your tier and regulatory posture.

Enclave capacity is an add-on; bring-your-own GPU-enclave hardware supported.

Every model and axis above is a real production code path. The combinations are governed by tier and add-on entitlements; sales-assisted topologies (VPC, on-premises, air-gapped, sovereign, isolated tenancy, CloudHSM-managed clusters) require a procurement engagement.

Security framework

Threat modelling, policy enforcement, signed audit trails, incident response

Quantum Threat Model v2.0

Comprehensive threat modeling aligned with NIST PQC standards and CRQC timeline assumptions.

  • 6 attacker classes: Opportunistic · Organized Crime · Nation-State (Classical) · Nation-State (Quantum) · HNDL Attacker · Malicious Insider
  • 22 security controls mapped to specific threats
  • HNDL (Harvest Now, Decrypt Later) timeline modeling
  • Data classification: ephemeral → long-lived secrets
  • Legacy migration milestones: staged classical deprecation (PQC-Native is the default)
  • CRQC timeline assumptions tracked per attacker class

Cross-Verification · Dual-Provider Crypto

For maximum and government tiers, every cryptographic operation is independently verified by two distinct PQC implementations.

  • 18 algorithms overlap between liboqs (native C) and noble (pure JS) — independent codebases
  • Cross-verification mandatory for maximum + government policy tiers
  • Cross-verification optional for strict tier (signature operations only)
  • liboqs as primary provider, noble as secondary verifier
  • Provider attestation logged for every operation (which provider, version, implementation type)

Provider Attestation in Audit Chain

Every crypto operation logs which provider produced the output — auditors can prove which implementation generated any given signature.

  • ProviderAttestation record on every operation: provider name + version + impl type
  • Implementation type: native (liboqs) · pure-js (noble) · openssl (oqs-provider)
  • Cross-verification status: verified · single-provider · failed
  • Algorithm + operation type recorded (sign / verify / encap / decap / keygen)
  • Flows into AuditCryptoContext for tamper-evident attestation

Signed Audit Evidence

Cryptographically signed, hash-chained audit trail for compliance and forensics.

  • 59 crypto-critical event types across 12 services

  • PDPA Singapore (9 controls) · MAS TRM (10 controls)

Key Compromise Response

Automated 6-step remediation for suspected or confirmed key compromises.

  • Step 1: record_incident — capture incident metadata + correlation ID
  • Step 2: rotate_or_revoke_key — KMS-side action based on severity
  • Step 3: trigger_storage_rewrap — re-encrypt affected stored objects
  • Step 4: invalidate_capability_tokens — revoke active access tokens
  • Step 5: emit_audit_event — append PQC-signed remediation record
  • Step 6: notify_tenant — escalate via configured channels

Downgrade Attack Remediation

Real-time detection and response to cryptographic downgrade attempts.

  • Protocol tracking: PQC-TLS → TLS 1.3 → TLS 1.2
  • Algorithm monitoring: ML-DSA → ECDSA · ML-KEM → ECDH downgrades
  • Automatic IP / user blocking on critical severity
  • Token revocation and resource quarantine
  • Escalation to key compromise handler

Fail-Closed Edge Enforcement

Two-layer entitlement enforcement at the edge gateway before any service proxy. Fail-closed for cryptographic services.

  • Access-status layer: ok · restricted · blocked (402 / 403 responses)
  • Capability layer: per-route allOf / anyOf feature-flag requirements
  • Fail-closed for vault, KMS, enclaves, SSE-X, AI workloads
  • No silent bypass — denies request if billing client unavailable
  • SPIFFE / SVID inter-service mTLS with allowedCallers per service.manifest.json

PQC-TLS Production Canary

Standalone production service that continuously verifies PQC-TLS termination on production endpoints.

  • Synthetic ML-KEM handshake against production endpoints on schedule
  • Detects negotiation drops to classical key exchange
  • Alerts on PQC algorithm downgrade in TLS handshake
  • Independent service (apps/pqc-tls-canary) — does not share fate with edge gateway
  • Health probe surfaced via /proxy/canary status

Cryptographic Hot-Reload + Drift Control

Live tenant policy updates without service restart. Continuous validation that environment stays migrated.

  • Three event types: policy_updated · policy_deleted · policy_created
  • Policy changes propagate to KMS, vault, audit, edge gateway in real time
  • Drift-control validation: alerts if classical algorithms reappear post-migration
  • BYOK / BYOH coexistence during cutover (existing customer keys / HSMs)
  • Migration automation with dry-run + live cutover modes (every operation signed)

Migration journey

How customers move trust dependencies into QNSP

QNSP is designed to become the active trust platform your workloads consume, not a passive reporting overlay. The operating path is Connect → Discover → Analyze → Govern → Migrate → Validate → Operate.

1. Connect

Attach cloud/API connectors for managed providers and install QNSP agents for private, self-hosted, or on-prem sources.

2. Discover

Run discovery to normalize keys, secrets, certificates, protocols, providers, and cryptographic dependencies across internal and external estates.

3. Analyze

Measure quantum exposure, policy violations, deprecated algorithms, and the actual cutover blockers preventing migration to QNSP.

4. Govern

Define crypto policy, lifecycle rules, enforce-vs-audit behavior, transition exceptions, and the tenant target state before cutover.

5. Migrate

Move keys, secrets, certificates, and workload trust paths into QNSP so applications call QNSP KMS, Vault, storage, search, and governed services directly.

6. Validate + Operate

Prove cutover with readiness evidence, CBOM, QBOM, SBOM, and continuous monitoring so the environment stays migrated instead of drifting back.

Comparing vendors?

Feature-by-feature competitor analysis lives at /competitive-analysis

The master feature matrix (33 features × 4 vendor categories), the three-bucket competitor landscape, and five per-vendor deep-dive pages (Fortanix, SandboxAQ, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault) have moved to a dedicated hub so a buyer in evaluation mode has one destination.

Statement of Direction

Forthcoming platform capabilities.

Capabilities under active development for clients with multi-year cryptographic procurement and architectural requirements. Not generally available. Published forward direction enables long-horizon procurement, architecture, and assurance teams to plan against QNSP's strategic platform programme.

Quantum key distribution (QKD)

Partner integration

Hardware-channel integration paths for BB84 and E91 protocols. Partner engagement with QKD hardware vendors (Toshiba, IDQ, MagiQ) for physical-layer key exchange across metropolitan and inter-data-centre links.

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE)

Active development

Computation over encrypted data — analytics, machine-learning inference, and aggregation performed against ciphertexts that never leave their encrypted form. Schemes under evaluation: BFV, BGV, and CKKS via OpenFHE.

PQC-protected federated learning

Active development

Distributed model training with post-quantum-encrypted gradients across organisational boundaries. Designed for financial-sector consortia and healthcare federations where central pooling of sensitive data is constrained by regulation.

Data residency & trust controls (DRTC)

Architecture phase

Sovereign residency enforcement at the platform layer — geographic, legal-jurisdiction, and operator-class controls embedded into every cryptographic operation, with auditable evidence end-to-end.

For clients with these capabilities on a procurement timeline, QNSP supports co-development engagements and early-access partnerships. Contact your account team or open a Free Forever account to begin the conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

The platform questions buyers and AI assistants ask most about algorithms, FIPS posture, deployment, and the quantum threat.

What post-quantum algorithms does QNSP support?

QNSP supports 90 PQC algorithms across 14 families — 27 KEMs (ML-KEM, HQC, BIKE, Classic McEliece, FrodoKEM, NTRU, NTRU-Prime) and 63 signatures (ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FN-DSA, MAYO, CROSS, UOV, SNOVA). Two providers run every operation: liboqs (native C, primary) and noble (pure JS, cross-verification secondary).

Is QNSP FIPS 203, 204, and 205 compliant?

QNSP implements the NIST-finalised standards — FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA) — and both providers pass the official NIST ACVP test vectors (noble 435/435, liboqs 240/240 on ML-KEM), published with a SHA-3-256 tamper digest at /verify/conformance. CAVP module validation is in progress.

What is harvest-now, decrypt-later (HNDL)?

Harvest-now, decrypt-later is an attack where an adversary captures encrypted traffic today and stores it until a cryptographically relevant quantum computer can break it. Long-life data — financial, medical, classified, legal — is exposed the moment it crosses a wire. Applying PQC now keeps captured ciphertext protected past quantum arrival.

What deployment topologies does QNSP support?

QNSP runs as QNSP Cloud, in your own VPC (AWS, Azure, or GCP), on-premises, or fully air-gapped, with sovereign data-residency options. Hardware enclaves include Intel SGX and TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, AWS Nitro, NVIDIA Confidential Computing, ARM TrustZone and CCA, and IBM Secure Execution for confidential AI workloads.

How does QNSP enforce cryptographic policy?

Four crypto-policy tiers — default, strict, maximum, and government — define which algorithms and parameter sets each tenant may use. Enforcement runs in-line at the edge gateway, KMS, and vault, so a downgrade attempt is denied at operation time rather than detected afterward. Government tier locks to FIPS-finalised algorithms with HSM-protected roots.
