Crypto4A Technologies Inc. HSMs generate, store, and use these keys, forming a critical root of trust for secure operations; according to DigiCert CEO and Board Member Amit Sinha, “Trust in the digital economy depends on independently validated cryptographic foundations.” Crypto4A’s technology supports all NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography algorithms, offering a deployable solution as quantum-safe security mandates accelerate worldwide.
QASM Module Achieves FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validation
Unlike traditional HSMs, Crypto4A’s technology is specifically engineered to defend against attacks from large-scale quantum computers, a growing concern as quantum computing capabilities increase. This broad compatibility allows organizations to deploy quantum-safe security while preparing for the eventual transition to new cryptographic standards.
Crypto4A’s achievement of NIST FIPS 140-3 Level 3 provides a high level of assurance that cryptographic keys are protected against both today’s threats and the realities of a post-quantum future, according to the company. This achievement arrives as governments worldwide increase requirements for quantum-safe security, offering organizations an independently verified solution.
Bruno Couillard, CEO and Co-Founder of Crypto4A, explained that “Quantum computing is moving at an ever-faster pace towards being able to hack into today’s networks faster than you can snap your fingers – and most of the systems we rely on aren’t ready for it.” He added, “This certification represents years of commitment to engineering and strong security foundations that can guard against the cybersecurity threats of the future.”

The FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation demands robust physical tampering resistance, strong identity-based authentication, and secure encryption key management. This achievement combines independently validated hardware and support for all NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms, both essential for transitioning to post-quantum security.
