SOVEREIGN DEFENCE PLATFORM
NIRVAIR
Nirvair is a sovereign post-quantum defence platform. Our core technology, CipherMesh, solves the signature fragmentation problem blocking quantum-safe communications on tactical radio — with integrated anomaly detection protecting transport operations in contested environments.
NIST finalized PQC standards August 2024. CSE mandated migration planning by April 2026. The window for Canadian companies to establish position is now.

COALITION NETWORKS
Quantum-safe interoperability across Five Eyes allied networks. CipherMesh enables PQC-authenticated communications across coalition partners with algorithm-agnostic design.
COMMAND & CONTROL
AI-enabled C2 systems require cryptographic operation integrity. CipherMesh's integrated anomaly detection monitors transport security and cryptographic timing to protect against adversarial interference.
TACTICAL RADIO
PQC signatures (3,309 bytes) exceed 512-byte tactical radio MTU. CipherMesh solves this with authenticated fragmentation.
SATELLITE COMMS
Bandwidth-constrained, high-latency satellite links demand fault-tolerant PQC. CipherMesh's architecture was designed for this environment.
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Power grids, hospitals, telecoms face the same quantum threat. The 2022 SickKids ransomware attack demonstrated the cost of unprotected systems.
THE QUANTUM THREAT
The clock is already running.
of defence and critical infrastructure networks currently running quantum-vulnerable encryption
Hardware modifications required — CipherMesh is a software-only solution for existing tactical radios
SOVEREIGNTY REQUIREMENT
Five Eyes nations require Canadian-owned, Canadian-developed quantum-safe technology. Foreign-owned IP cannot serve DND/CAF — by policy.

SOVEREIGN DEFENCE PLATFORM
NIRVAIR
CipherMesh is the core of the Nirvair platform — an authenticated transport layer for post-quantum cryptography on constrained tactical networks. The system combines erasure-coded signature fragmentation with real-time anomaly detection, designed for bandwidth-constrained links where standard PQC signatures cannot fit. Embedded PQC performance research is active at Carleton University through a Mitacs Accelerate partnership.

WHAT THIS STAGE IS
Operations proceed normally, but all encrypted traffic is at risk. Adversaries are actively recording communications for later decryption. The threat is total, invisible, and immediate.
WHAT IT MEANS OPERATIONALLY
Every network on RSA or ECC is already compromised in the adversarial sense — data captured today will be decrypted the moment quantum-capable hardware is available. Delaying migration increases long-term exposure risk.

Authenticated Fragmentation for Tactical Radio Networks
Post-quantum signatures are 65× larger than what tactical radio links carry per packet. CipherMesh fragments signatures into authenticated pieces that survive packet loss and adversarial injection, without interrupting operations.

THE PROBLEM
ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signatures are 3,309 bytes. Tactical HF radio links carry 512-byte packets. You cannot transmit a post-quantum signature over tactical radio without fragmentation — and fragmentation without authentication creates an attack surface.
RECOVERY FROM PACKET LOSS?
CipherMesh's forward error correction reconstructs signatures even when fragments are lost in transit. The receiving node doesn't need all fragments — designed for contested, degraded, actively-jammed environments.

Cryptographic Transport Security for CipherMesh
CipherMesh includes integrated anomaly detection that monitors fragment delivery patterns, authentication failure rates, and cryptographic operation timing in real time. When an attacker attempts fragment injection, replay, or selective withholding, the anomaly detection subsystem identifies the threat and generates trust signals that trigger traffic rerouting away from compromised paths.
Patent-pending · Tessara · CipherMesh Transport Security
WHAT IT DETECTS
Fragment injection attacks — forged fragments designed to corrupt reassembly. Replay attacks on reassembled signatures. Fragment withholding by compromised relay nodes. Timing anomalies in cryptographic operations indicating side-channel attacks or hardware degradation. Fragment delivery ratio degradation across mesh paths. Research collaboration with SFU in development.
HOW IT RESPONDS
Anomaly signals feed directly into mesh routing trust decisions. Compromised paths are automatically deprioritised. CipherMesh adapts erasure coding parameters based on measured link quality over sliding observation windows — increasing redundancy when conditions degrade, reducing overhead when they improve.

ABOUT
GURP NIJJER
Founder & CEO · Quantegra Technologies
QUANTEGRA TECHNOLOGIES
Gurp Nijjer built his career on Canadian critical infrastructure — power substations, industrial facilities, telecommunications systems. He spent 15 years working on the networks that Canada depends on, watching their cybersecurity vulnerabilities compound.
The December 2022 ransomware attack on SickKids Hospital made clear what he already understood: Canada's critical systems are not prepared for the threats they face today — let alone the threats arriving within a decade.
He founded Quantegra to build what Canada needs. Quantum-safe, Canadian-owned, designed from the ground up for the post-quantum era that has already begun.
