QIES
Quantum-resistant Interoperable Encryption Standard. Security framework used across the Autheo stack for post-quantum data protection.
QIES (Quantum-resistant Interoperable Encryption Standard) is the security framework used across the Autheo stack for post-quantum data protection. It defines how encryption, key exchange, and digital signatures are handled throughout the platform, ensuring consistent quantum-resistant security across identity (AutheoID), storage (ABW34), compute (DCC), and network communication layers. QIES is designed to be interoperable, meaning that encrypted data and signed messages can be verified across different components of the Autheo ecosystem without requiring separate encryption schemes for each layer.
