Structured Data Folding with Transmutations (SDFT): Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Beyond?

NUTSTECH's Structured Data Folding with Transmutations (SDFT) represents a pivotal advancement in cryptographic technology, addressing the imminent threat posed by quantum computing to public-key cryptography. This innovative solution offers a standardized framework that simplifies the implementation of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), ensuring secure data transmission and storage. By enabling seamless integration of new cryptographic standards without the need for extensive technical expertise, SDFT facilitates ongoing adaptability in the face of evolving cyber threats. Its unique capability to self-describe and prescribe cryptographic methods enhances message-level security, providing a robust defense mechanism for the Air Force's digital infrastructure. With NUTSTECH's proven expertise and patented technology, this project not only fulfills a critical defense need but also sets the stage for widespread adoption across diverse programming environments, thereby fortifying the United States' cybersecurity posture in the quantum era.

The goal of phase I is to establish the technical merit, feasibility, and commercial potential of proposed R&D efforts and determine the quality of performance of the small business awardee organization.
