04 / Cyber Security

Sovereign infrastructure.
Quantum-ready protection.

Security that you don't control is just rented trust, and sovereignty that isn't quantum-protected has an expiration date. Navon brings the two together into a single deployable platform that covers the modular shell, the power, and the cryptographic layer, all under the customer's flag and all engineered to outlast the post-quantum transition.

Future-proof your apps with post-quantum cryptography

Quantum computers will break the encryption protecting today's applications, and adversaries are already harvesting data to decrypt later. This short film shows how Navon's hybrid post-quantum cryptography future-proofs your apps now, delivered with the price-performance to make quantum-safe security the default, not a premium.

/ The clock has already started

Encrypted traffic is being harvested today and stored for the day a quantum machine can break it. Every secret with a shelf-life past a decade is already exposed.

Today · 2026
Harvest now.

State-level adversaries intercept and archive ciphertext at scale, betting on future decryption capability.

Mid-term · 5-7 yrs
Cryptographic obsolescence.

National agencies have set full PQC migration deadlines inside the decade; classical RSA and ECC fall first.

Long-tail · 10-30 yrs
Decrypt later.

For citizen registries, health records, financial archives, and defence intelligence, the sensitivity outlives the encryption.

The three-pillar model

Three reinforcing pillars. One compounding defence.

Data security gives the cryptographic foundation. Data sovereignty gives the physical and legal control. Quantum protection makes both durable across the post-quantum transition.

PILLAR 01 · DATA SECURITY

Cryptographic foundation.

Tamper-resistant key vaults, physics-based entropy, and an agility engine that re-encrypts the estate as standards move.

What's inside
  • HSM root of trust · keys non-exportable
  • QRNG entropy · physics-based randomness
  • Hybrid classical + PQC · NIST-aligned
  • Crypto-agility engine · auto re-encrypt
PILLAR 02 · DATA SOVEREIGNTY

Physical control.

You own the shell, the power, the perimeter, and the keys, across national vaults, cross-border data embassies, and air-gapped pods.

What's inside
  • Sovereign Vaults · in-territory custody
  • Data Embassies · neutral jurisdiction
  • Compute-to-data · no transit exposure
  • Sovereign AI on locally held data
PILLAR 03 · QUANTUM PROTECTION

Durable across the transition.

Classical and PQC algorithms run in parallel today, with QKD on the highest-assurance links between sovereign nodes. Built in, not a 2030 retrofit.

What's inside
  • Hybrid cryptography · safety-net on both sides
  • Quantum Key Distribution · physics-secured
  • Three-phase migration · assess → prioritise → full
  • Aligned to NIST · CNSA 2.0 · BSI · ANSSI
/ Thesis

Physical infrastructure controls digital sovereignty. The organisations that own the shell, the power, and the cryptographic layer own the trust.

Defence in depth

QKD secures the channel. PQC secures everything else.

Physics-based key exchange and software-defined post-quantum cryptography cover different threat vectors, and together cover both current and future quantum threats.

QKD · Hardware layer

Quantum Key Distribution.

Powered by ID Quantique
  • Physics-based key exchange, not maths
  • Eavesdropping is physically detectable
  • Ideal for high-value point-to-point links
Defence in depth
PQC · Software layer

Post-Quantum Cryptography.

Powered by ExeQuantum
  • NIST-standardised algorithms, deployable anywhere
  • Software-defined, no special hardware
  • Scales across cloud, edge, IoT, and APIs
Two layers: QKD protects the channel, PQC protects everything else. Where the threat model warrants physics-based assurance, such as sovereign communications and defence, both run together.
The Navon Cyber Security Test Bed

Africa's first operational quantum-secure platform.

Live at Hell's Gate. Hardware QKD and software PQC run side by side in one integrated environment, open to governments, telcos, banks, and research partners for evaluation and deployment on commercially proven gear.

/ Live · operational · open for partners

Two proven partners. One integrated platform.

Built with ID Quantique (Geneva, a global leader in QKD, deployed in Korea, Singapore, EU) and ExeQuantum (an ISO 27001 certified PQC stack covering discovery, encryption, and sovereign architecture).

Where it lands

Built for the workloads with the longest shelf-life.

Citizen registries, treaty archives, and central-bank infrastructure carry sensitivity lifecycles measured in decades. They are the first to demand quantum-resilient sovereignty, and the largest beneficiaries of getting it right early.

01 · Government & defence
Sovereign data, diplomatic comms.

Quantum-resilient citizen registries, digital embassies, classified research, and national cryptographic inventories ahead of mandate.

02 · Financial services
CBDC, banking, payments.

Encryption upgrades for core banking, quantum-secure transaction APIs, and PQC-mandate readiness ahead of global regulation.

03 · Telecoms
Cross-border QKD corridors.

Quantum-secure managed services for enterprise, inter-city QKD links, and backend protection against harvest-now-decrypt-later.

04 · Critical infrastructure
SCADA, ICS, IoT.

Hardware-rooted resilience for industrial control, IoT communications secured with pre-shared quantum keys, sector-specific compliance.

05 · Healthcare & identity
Records that outlive the keys.

Lifelong patient records, biometric registries, and identity systems whose sensitivity windows exceed any classical cipher's lifetime.

06 · Research & academia
Continental innovation hub.

University collaboration, applied quantum-security research, and a continental sandbox for cybersecurity startups building on real infrastructure.
