Crypto4A Technologies Launches QxOS 5™ for Post-Quantum Security

On June 10, 2025, Crypto4A Technologies Inc. made a significant leap forward in the realm of quantum security solutions with the release of QxOS 5™. This latest version of their cryptographic operating system is designed to work seamlessly with the QxHSM™, the next-generation hardware security module. The introduction of QxOS 5™ marks a crucial step toward embracing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and enhancing digital sovereignty and usability in security measures.

Key Features of QxOS 5™

The launch of QxOS 5™ brings three fundamental advancements that further solidify Crypto4A's commitment to providing robust security solutions:

1. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Certification: This version includes the submission of the final module for FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, which integrates the latest PQC algorithms. This is particularly significant for clients in regulated industries and government agencies, bolstering their confidence in the security offered by Crypto4A.

2. Certified Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms: QxOS 5™ integrates a strong set of PQC algorithms aligned with current NIST standards, offering proactive protection against threats posed by quantum computing. This feature is essential for organizations looking to safeguard their data against evolving technological challenges.

3. Improved Usability: The update refines user interfaces, management applications, operational tools, and APIs, making it easier than ever for clients to deploy and manage cryptographic workflows securely and efficiently.

John O'Connor, Vice President in charge of product management at Crypto4A, emphasizes that, "QxOS 5™ is more than just an update; it’s a pivotal step towards real-world preparedness for post-quantum environments. With our FIPS submission, certified PQC algorithms, and usability upgrades, we are helping our clients stay ahead both technically and strategically."

Commitment to Digital Sovereignty

At the core of Crypto4A's mission is the commitment to digital sovereignty, which means equipping customers with complete control over their cryptographic infrastructure. QxOS 5™ embodies this principle, facilitating a smooth transition to post-quantum algorithms while maintaining cryptographic agility and compliance. Organizations can ensure the longevity of their digital assets with clarity and confidence.

In a rapidly changing cyber and regulatory landscape, this update delivers the adaptability and assurance that businesses and agencies require, supporting priorities like cryptographic independence and long-term flexibility.

Looking Ahead

The rollout of QxOS 5™ sets the foundation for an exciting roadmap. Future feature releases this year will introduce expanded algorithm support, advanced policy orchestration, scalable key storage, an application development kit, and richer integrations to further streamline secure operations in environments threatened by quantum technology.
