The Procurement Cliff: Why Post-Quantum Has To Be In The Record From Day One

Key Points

This research addresses the necessity of integrating quantum-resistant technologies into records from their initiation.
Introduced the CNSA 2.0 guideline with a 2027 deadline for quantum-safe procurement.
Implemented the Open Audit Record using FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 for signature verification.
Ensured all AI actions are signed prior to execution for future-proofing against quantum attacks.
Records signed in 2026 remain verifiable in 2035 under the quantum-safe framework.
The system operates offline, ensuring no reliance on external connections for verification.
Establishing a foundational security measure against evolving quantum adversarial threats.

Abstract

The National Security Agency's CNSA 2.0 sets a hard 2027 cliff for quantum-safe procurement, and harvest-now-decrypt-later means records signed today must already resist a future quantum adversary. Mickai's Open Audit Record signs with FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 from inception, so a chain written in 2026 still verifies in 2035.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/procurement-cliff-post-quantum-in-the-record-from-day-one. Mickai is a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System; the Open Audit Record signs every artificial intelligence action before it executes, post-quantum and offline-verifiable. 101 filed UK patent applications, Mickai LTD (Companies House 17166618).
