ISO 27001 Certified and Alignment with ISO/IEC 11770-2:2018
Dedicated to providing standards-compliant encryption technology, Arqit holds ISO 27001 certification for Information Security Management, and follows ISO/IEC 11770-2:2018 guidelines for symmetric key management in the implementation of key establishment using symmetric cryptographic techniques.
Fully approved cryptographic standards
Suitable for any environment where adherence to NIST standards or FIPS-140-2 validation is imperative, Arqit seamlessly aligns with best practices and approved cryptographic primitives and algorithms endorsed by NIST and in some cases CNSA Suite 2.0.
While NIST has yet to recommend the adoption of post-quantum algorithms pending the release of its standards, the interim recommendation is the near-term use of symmetric key agreement (SP 800-71), a stance fully supported by Arqit.
Arqit’s compliance with (FIPS 140-2 Inside #3514), signifies the safe utilisation of a FIPS-validated cryptographic module for delivering cryptographic services.
Our platform is intentionally designed to be cipher and hashing algorithm agnostic, ensuring adaptability whether employing SHA-3 in accordance with FIPS 202 or alternative AES modes outlined in SP800-38F. We impose no restrictions on the encryption method, facilitating complete adherence to approved guidance as per SP-800-175B.

Interfaces with standard protocols
Beyond key agreement, Arqit can also use its keying methods in existing communication standards such as IPsec and TLS. The use of pre-shared key (PPK) in IPsec is covered by NIST in SP 800-77, and TLS with SP 800-52 Rev.2.
Complies with all known imperatives for quantum-safe security of classified solutions
The SKA-Platform conforms to the NSA’s Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Symmetric Key Management Requirements (SKM Annex 2.1).This annex dictates how Government agencies can incorporate quantum-safe symmetric key protections into solutions which use commercial products to protect classified networks. The White House National Security Memorandum 10 (NSM-10) mandated Government agencies adopt symmetric key protections for NSS to meet the challenge of quantum computing by the end of 2023.
SKM Annex also includes PSK usage for the implementation of RFC-8784 mixing pre-shared keys in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE v2) Protocol. Arqit’s solution with VPN hardware to secure IPsec tunnels meets the operational and security demands of Government agencies and strongly conforms to NSA requirements
