Infrastructure-focused research lab. We build tooling at the intersection of enterprise PKI, cryptographic standards, and post-quantum migration.
We work on certificate authority infrastructure, cryptographic tooling, and security engineering — with a focus on real-world deployment at scale. Background spans enterprise CA management and Federal PKI operations, including experience with Federal Bridge cross-certification.
Post-quantum cryptography is no longer theoretical — NIST finalized ML-DSA, ML-KEM, and SLH-DSA in 2024. Most organizations aren't ready.
Quantum Nexum is a PQC PKI platform and educational resource built to close that gap. We document the standards, demonstrate real implementations, and build the infrastructure to prove they work at scale.
SPORK CA is the engine behind it — a Rust-based certificate authority with:
- ML-DSA and ML-KEM algorithm support
- ACME protocol for automated certificate issuance
- Multi-tier CA hierarchy built for PQC from the ground up
Currently in active development and alpha testing. Watch this space.
