QuantumSafe Email & Data-at-Rest
Roadmap

Plan long-lived confidentiality for email, files, databases, object storage, backups and archives.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM

Plan long-lived confidentiality for email, files, databases, object storage, backups and archives.

Email, files, databases and archives often outlive the systems that created them. Confidentiality migration must address recipient onboarding, recovery, rekeying and long-term access.

PRODUCT-SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION FLOW

How QuantumSafe Email & Data-at-Rest operates from input to evidence.

Enterprise mail, object storage, backup, databases, KMS/HSM and data-governance systems. Data-flow map, key hierarchy, recovery tests and approved retention/re-encryption plan.

01

Classify message or stored data

Email and attachment protection profiles

02

Resolve recipients and retention policy

S/MIME transition and recipient key management

03

Create content key and protected envelope

File, object and database-field encryption

04

Encrypt content before mail/storage service

Envelope encryption with HSM/KMS

05

Authorize recipient or workload decryption

Backup/archive rekey and recovery

06

Rekey, recover or destroy by lifecycle policy

Retention, legal hold and access evidence

NAMED COMPONENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

What QuantumSafe Email & Data-at-Rest contains and what each component does.

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

01

Email and attachment protection profiles

Defines separate profiles for message body, attachments and transport metadata, including where encryption occurs and which mail systems see plaintext.

02

S/MIME transition and recipient key management

Plans S/MIME coexistence, recipient onboarding, directory lookup, external-recipient handling and enterprise recovery without shared passwords.

03

File, object and database-field encryption

Applies file, object or database-field encryption at the correct application layer and preserves searchable or routing fields only when policy allows.

04

Envelope encryption with HSM/KMS

Uses envelope encryption with HSM/KMS-protected wrapping keys, unique content keys and recorded key version for every protected object or data set.

05

Backup/archive rekey and recovery

Rekeys backups and archives through tested restore-and-reencrypt workflows rather than assuming online key rotation changes historical copies.

06

Retention, legal hold and access evidence

Maps retention, legal hold, access review, recovery and cryptographic-erasure evidence to the data owner and regulatory obligation.

CUSTOMER OUTCOMES
  • Data-class migration plan
  • Envelope/key-wrapping model
  • Rekey and recovery strategy
INTEGRATION BOUNDARY

Enterprise mail, object storage, backup, databases, KMS/HSM and data-governance systems.

DEPLOYMENT PATTERNS

Embedded application integration

Client, format or application components protect data before it reaches shared infrastructure.

Gateway and protected backend

Gateways enforce identity and policy while key use or decryption occurs only inside the approved backend boundary.

Phased enterprise rollout

One data class and transaction path is proven first, then expanded through compatibility and performance gates.

EVIDENCE REQUIRED
  • Data-flow map, key hierarchy, recovery tests and approved retention/re-encryption plan.
  • Version and configuration manifest for: Enterprise mail, object storage, backup, databases, KMS/HSM and data-governance systems.
  • Negative, failure and recovery tests for “Authorize recipient or workload decryption” and “Rekey, recover or destroy by lifecycle policy”.
  • Signed acceptance record, accountable owner, published limitations and next review date.
STANDARDS & PROFILES
  • S/MIME / CMS
