Where this offering fits
Certes positions v7 around quantum-safe protection for data in motion. Evaluate that proposition against a defined information flow and the current documented cryptographic design. A migration discussion should distinguish the protection of long-lived sensitive information from a broad claim that every application has become quantum safe.
Architecture and rollout decisions
Select representative application paths, endpoints and traffic characteristics. Review insertion points, key administration, algorithm support and the way the design fits existing network controls. Establish an agreed performance baseline before introducing the proposed protection. A pilot should confirm application behaviour, authorised traffic treatment and failure recovery. The customer’s cryptographic authority should review the current manufacturer material and any required assurance evidence before accepting a production migration.
An evaluation scenario for this offering
Choose a sensitive application flow and establish its normal behaviour before applying the proposed v7 design. Compare the approved functional and performance checks, then review a failure scenario agreed by the network and application owners. Request evidence for the selected cryptographic configuration rather than using a broad quantum-safe label as the acceptance criterion. The report should state which endpoints, traffic and operating conditions were assessed and which flows remain outside the pilot.
Evidence to request for this scope
- Request the selected v7 architecture and documented algorithm configuration for the intended traffic.
- Identify which data flows remain outside the proposed protection boundary.
- Test latency-sensitive workflows and the approved bypass or recovery procedure within a controlled window.
