*Modular, Crypto-Agile Infrastructure for National-Grade Data Sovereignty* # Thesis Quantum-Ready Sovereignty: Infrastructure for [[Data Embassies]] That Withstand Tomorrow’s Threats Today # Offering Navon offers Sovereign Vaults - modular, prefabricated infrastructure designed to support data embassies: physically extraterritorial, cryptographically sovereign digital environments. These Vaults combine post-quantum cryptography, hybrid cryptographic frameworks, and intelligent data lifecycle management to deliver trusted, jurisdiction-agnostic digital sanctuaries for national, intergovernmental, and regulated data. # Core Differentiators 1. **Modular, PQC-Ready Infrastructure:** Vaults are secured with post-quantum cryptographic algorithms aligned with NIST standards, while also supporting alternative and evolving frameworks (e.g., ETSI, BSI, ISO/IEC) based on geopolitical and regulatory requirements of the hosting territory. [[The Road to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) - A Migration Timeline]] 2. **Hybrid Cryptography Bridge:** Navon integrates hybrid cryptographic models—combining classical (e.g., ECC, RSA) and post-quantum schemes (e.g., Kyber, Dilithium)—to ensure robust backward compatibility and cryptographic continuity as standards transition. [[Hybrid Cryptography as the bridge to Post Quantum Security]] 3. **Physics-Grade Entropy Generation:** Embedded quantum random number generators (QRNG) provide tamper-proof entropy for key management, cryptographic operations, and digital forensics. 4. **Crypto-Agile Risk Management Engine:** Data is continuously scanned, classified, and scored by exposure level and lifecycle urgency. This enables automated orchestration of re-encryption and migration strategies to minimize cryptographic debt. [[Crypto-agility]] 5. **Sovereign Storage Integration:** Navon Vaults are natively compatible with platforms like VAST Data, offering high-performance, scalable data persistence optimized for secure, zero-trust architectures in both active and archival tiers. # Standards Aware by Design Navon recognizes that cryptographic sovereignty is multi-faceted. Our systems are engineered to support location-specific standards and data localization laws, including: - NIST PQC (U.S.) - ETSI Quantum-Safe (EU) - BSI TR-02102 (Germany) - ISO/IEC 18033 & 29192 - Custom National Cryptographic Agencies (e.g., India’s STQC, China's OSCCA) # Primary Use Cases - Citizen ID registries, tax and population records - CBDC and sovereign digital ledger infrastructure - Intelligence and defense command nodes - Treaty, judiciary, and intergovernmental protocol archives - Multilateral or hybrid-governance digital embassies # Deployment Models - **National Vaults:** On-prem, high-assurance infrastructure governed entirely by sovereign controls - **Data Embassies:** Located in geopolitically neutral or allied jurisdictions with cross-border legal frameworks - **Offline Quantum Pods:** For high-value, air-gapped operations like elections, currency issuance, or secure research
