Crypto4A QASM Module Achieves FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validation

Insider Brief

• Canadian cybersecurity company Crypto4A has received FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation for its QASM cryptographic module, which supports NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography algorithms.
• The validation covers a hardware security module designed to protect cryptographic keys and support organizations transitioning to post-quantum cryptography.
• Crypto4A says the milestone strengthens its position in Canada’s cybersecurity sector and provides independently validated infrastructure for managing cryptography in the quantum era.

Press release – Canadian cybersecurity company Crypto4A Technologies Inc. has achieved a global first in the race to protect governments, financial systems, critical infrastructure and defence networks from the emerging threat posed by quantum computing.

Crypto4A has received FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation for its QASM™ cryptographic module, making it the first company in the world to achieve this level of independent security validation in a hardware security module supporting all NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography algorithms.

Put simply, Crypto4A has built and independently validated a highly secure system for protecting the digital keys that safeguard some of the world’s most sensitive information, while preparing those systems for a future in which today’s encryption methods could be broken by powerful quantum computers.
