QuantumSafe Control Plane
Solution architecture

Govern algorithm policy, migration waves, product versions, exceptions and evidence from one operating model.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM

Govern algorithm policy, migration waves, product versions, exceptions and evidence from one operating model.

PQC migration fails when algorithm policy, product versions, exceptions and evidence are managed separately across teams.

PRODUCT-SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION FLOW

How QuantumSafe Control Plane operates from input to evidence.

PKI, HSM/KMS, application inventory, change management and observability systems. Policy versions, approvals, exception records, control status and exportable evidence.

01

Register assets and approved profiles

Cryptographic asset and policy registry

02

Evaluate policy at change time

Approved algorithm/profile catalogue

03

Route exceptions for approval

Migration wave and exception workflow

04

Schedule migration releases

Release, firmware and provider inventory

05

Collect runtime and test evidence

Maker-checker and delegated approvals

06

Report posture and lifecycle

Evidence dashboard and audit export

NAMED COMPONENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

What QuantumSafe Control Plane contains and what each component does.

The descriptions below state concrete technical behaviour rather than generic support language.

01

Cryptographic asset and policy registry

Maintains a governed registry of cryptographic assets, approved profiles, owners and evidence links used by architecture and change processes.

02

Approved algorithm/profile catalogue

Publishes algorithm, parameter, certificate and protocol policies with effective dates, target environments and explicit deprecation rules.

03

Migration wave and exception workflow

Routes migration tasks and exceptions through maker-checker approval, expiry dates, compensating controls and accountable owners.

04

Release, firmware and provider inventory

Tracks product, provider, firmware and dependency versions so a release or security advisory can be matched to affected deployments.

05

Maker-checker and delegated approvals

Separates request, review and approval permissions while preserving delegated authority, comments and immutable decision history.

06

Evidence dashboard and audit export

Combines inventory, migration status, exceptions, interoperability results and evidence freshness into role-based operational dashboards.

CUSTOMER OUTCOMES
  • Algorithm policy control
  • Migration and exception workflow
  • Lifecycle and evidence dashboard
INTEGRATION BOUNDARY

PKI, HSM/KMS, application inventory, change management and observability systems.

DEPLOYMENT PATTERNS

Bounded assessment workspace

Collectors run against approved sources; findings are reviewed before entering the governed inventory.

Continuous enterprise integration

Scheduled collectors and connectors feed the inventory, risk and policy workflows under customer control.

Managed governance operation

Mobile-ID facilitates refresh, review and reporting while the customer retains ownership and approval authority.

EVIDENCE REQUIRED
  • Policy versions, approvals, exception records, control status and exportable evidence.
  • Version and configuration manifest for: PKI, HSM/KMS, application inventory, change management and observability systems.
  • Negative, failure and recovery tests for “Collect runtime and test evidence” and “Report posture and lifecycle”.
  • Signed acceptance record, accountable owner, published limitations and next review date.
STANDARDS & PROFILES
  • Crypto-agility governance
  • NIST migration program
  • OpenTelemetry / audit integration
  • Policy-as-code concepts
