Identify the workload.
Issue short-lived credentials to applications from node and workload attestation. Apply hardware-backed checks where the deployment requires them.

QHx / Quantum Helix
Give applications a verifiable identity. Control which systems can communicate. Keep evidence of what was exchanged, across organizations and networks.

The product
Security that works
between systems.
QHx brings workload identity, communication policy, and signed records into the infrastructure your applications use.
Deploy QHx Core on Kubernetes, on premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. Define integration and connectivity requirements for your environment.
See how QHx is deployedAuthorize the exchange.
Use identity and policy to control communication between applications. Carry their traffic through mutually authenticated, encrypted channels.
Keep verifiable evidence.
Add signed receipts to selected requests and responses. Verify those records later, including without a live connection to the issuing system.
Mission systems
Different operators.
Shared mission.
Identity, authority, and infrastructure rarely line up across an entire mission. Start with the exchange that needs to work.
01
Command and control
Connect mission applications across independently operated systems, with explicit identity and rules for each exchange.
02Coalition exchange
Work with mission partners while keeping separate identity authorities and control over which information is released.
03Constrained edge operations
Plan for intermittent connectivity, fielded compute, and AI outputs that need a record an independent party can verify.
Engineering
Open foundations.
Explicit assumptions.
QHx builds on SPIFFE and SPIRE for workload identity, with post-quantum cryptographic options and a published security model.
See how identity is issued, where policy is enforced, and which dependencies remain part of the trust boundary.
