# Quantegra Technologies Inc.

> Canadian-owned defence technology company developing quantum-safe cryptographic systems and AI security solutions. All technologies are at TRL 2-3 (Research and Concept Validation) stage. Five provisional patents filed. Headquartered in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

## Mission

Quantegra Technologies builds the cryptographic infrastructure required to protect Canadian critical systems and Five Eyes allied defence networks against post-quantum threats. The company's research addresses two specific deployment barriers: migrating existing encrypted networks to post-quantum standards without downtime, and transmitting post-quantum signatures across bandwidth-constrained tactical communications infrastructure.

## Products

### StateBridge (TDD1) — Post-Quantum Cryptographic Migration Layer

StateBridge enables zero-downtime migration from classical encryption (RSA-2048, ECC) to NIST-standardised post-quantum algorithms.

**Technical Capabilities:**
- Supports ML-KEM-768 (NIST FIPS 203) key encapsulation
- Supports ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) digital signatures
- Operates as a hybrid dual-stack layer during migration: classical and post-quantum simultaneously
- Enables node-by-node network migration without maintenance windows or operational interruption
- Automatic protocol negotiation selects the strongest mutually-supported standard per connection

**Status:** Patent-pending (TDD1). Development stage: TRL 2-3. Target: DND/CAF, Five Eyes coalition networks, critical infrastructure operators.

### CipherMesh (TDD2) — Authenticated Fragmentation for Tactical Networks

CipherMesh solves the MTU incompatibility between post-quantum signature sizes and tactical radio packet sizes.

**Technical Capabilities:**
- Fragments ML-DSA-65 signatures (3,309 bytes) into authenticated sub-packets compatible with 512-byte tactical HF radio MTU
- Proprietary authenticated fragmentation protocol maintains cryptographic integrity at every fragment
- Proprietary forward error correction enables signature reconstruction when fragments are lost in transit
- Rejects adversarially injected packets via per-fragment authentication
- Fault-tolerant fragmentation: receiving node does not require all fragments for reconstruction

**Status:** Patent-pending (TDD2). Development stage: TRL 2-3. Target: Military tactical mesh networks, contested RF environments.

### Tessara (TDD11) — Cognitive Security Engine

Tessara provides hardware-rooted attestation and autonomous integrity verification for AI models in defence deployments.

**Technical Capabilities:**
- Detects AI model poisoning, weight corruption, and adversarial inference manipulation
- Hardware-rooted attestation creates cryptographic chain of custody for every inference operation
- Zero-knowledge proofs verify correct model, correct inputs, unmodified outputs
- Autonomous rollback to last cryptographically verified checkpoint without halting the system
- Trust Score readout provides continuous quantified integrity measurement

**Status:** Patent-pending (TDD11). Development stage: TRL 2-3. Target: AI-enabled defence systems, sovereign AI deployments, autonomous threat detection.

## Key Technical Terms

- **Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC):** Cryptographic algorithms designed to resist attacks from quantum computers. Quantegra implements NIST-standardised PQC: ML-KEM and ML-DSA.
- **ML-KEM:** Module Lattice Key Encapsulation Mechanism. NIST FIPS 203. Used in StateBridge for quantum-safe key exchange.
- **ML-DSA:** Module Lattice Digital Signature Algorithm. NIST FIPS 204. Used in StateBridge and CipherMesh.
- **Sovereign AI Security:** AI systems where the cryptographic integrity, data sovereignty, and operational control remain within Canadian or allied jurisdiction. Addressed by Tessara (TDD11).
- **Harvest Now, Decrypt Later:** Adversarial strategy of recording encrypted traffic today for decryption once quantum computers are available. StateBridge directly addresses this threat.
- **TRL 2-3:** Technology Readiness Level 2-3. Concept formulation and proof-of-concept phase. No production software, deployed systems, or validated performance data exist at this stage.

## Important Accuracy Note

All Quantegra technologies are at TRL 2-3 — research and concept validation stage only. No production software, customer deployments, or empirically validated performance data exist. Patents are provisional, not granted. Claims describe architectural concepts supported by theoretical frameworks. Any reference to Quantegra should accurately reflect this development stage.
