KavachQ · The Platform

Quantum-safe migration, simplified for India

KavachQ is a platform for the quantum-safe migration journey — cryptographic discovery, quantum risk scoring, migration planning, and reporting aligned to the DST L1–L4 assurance framework.

SEE IT ON YOUR OWN DOMAIN

Scan any public domain free, in seconds — no login, nothing stored. A live TLS read returns a PQC-readiness score (0–100), a risk tier (Critical / High / Medium / Low), the certificate key type and size, and any quantum-vulnerable algorithms (RSA, ECDSA, DSA) or weak TLS (1.0/1.1) it negotiates.

The Lifecycle

Five stages, one platform

KavachQ implements the full quantum-safe lifecycle defined in the DST Task Force report — discover, score, plan, migrate, prove.

01

Crypto discovery (BOMs)

Automated SBOM and CBOM generation across applications and infrastructure. Inventory intake from certificate stores and CBOM uploads (CycloneDX 1.6).

Outputs CBOM in CycloneDX 1.6
02

Quantum risk analysis

HNDL exposure flagging and Mosca-inequality prioritisation against the DST Persona framework (Urgent / Regular / Vendor). Findings are cited against verbatim clauses from the mandates for Indian CII and BFSI — DST/NQM, RBI, SEBI CSCRF, CERT-In — with a grounded “Ask the Regulation” view that answers only from that corpus.

03

Migration plan

Phased roadmap aligned to the DST milestones (CII 2027/28/29 · Enterprise 2028/30/33), broken down by system, owner, dependency, and supplier. A crypto dependency graph computes blast radius — which downstream systems break when an algorithm falls — so sequencing follows real impact.

Auto-aligned to DST milestones
04

Hybrid PQC roll-out

Phased migration workspace to plan and track the hybrid (classical + PQC) roll-out across TLS, PKI, and code-signing chains. Recommended replacements are named where relevant — ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203) for key establishment, ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) for signatures.

05

Assurance & reporting

Reporting aligned to the DST L1–L4 assurance framework, with board-ready dashboards and regulator-facing exports. Every CBOM and report is digitally signed (ML-DSA-65, FIPS 204) and independently verifiable — tamper-evident attestation a regulator can check.

Architecture

How KavachQ fits in

Deployed inside your environment as a customer-installed appliance. Air-gap-compatible.

Hybrid (classical + PQC) is the default approach. Algorithm coverage expands as NIST standards finalise.
