Solution / Quantum & PQC

PQC Starter & Interoperability Lab

A practical test environment for exploring quantum-safe algorithms, HSM/PKI integration, hybrid protocols and migration behavior.

Business context

What this capability solves

PQC Starter & Interoperability Lab converts fragmented operational signals into an accountable digital workflow so teams can detect risk earlier, optimize resources and improve safety or productivity without losing human operational control.

EBP Integra delivery principle

Technology is implemented as an operating capability: architecture, integration, governance, assurance, people, procedures and measurable outcomes are designed together.

Deep-dive capabilities

Capability model

Modular building blocks allow the scope to start with a focused pilot and expand into an enterprise operating model.

Reference Stack

Representative application, PKI/HSM, network and library components.

Algorithm Experiments

Test standards-based PQC implementations and libraries.

Hybrid Protocol

Validate classical+PQC interoperability.

HSM / PKI

Assess key storage, signing and certificate workflows.

Performance

Measure latency, CPU, memory and message-size impacts.

Evidence

Record configurations/results for migration decisions.

Reference architecture

How the capability fits together

Final topology, control placement and deployment model are validated during discovery and detailed design.

Field / Asset Layer

Vehicles, equipment, sensors, cameras, tags, infrastructure and operational systems.

Connectivity & Edge

GNSS, industrial wireless/wired networks, gateways and local processing.

Analytics Platform

Telemetry normalization, event fusion, AI/computer vision, scoring and rules.

Operations Layer

Dispatch, command center, workflow, alerts, enterprise integration and management reporting.

Controls & governance

Implementation

Phased delivery

Each phase ends with evidence, acceptance criteria and a decision gate before broader scale-out.

1. BaselineMap assets, routes/process, data, risk and current KPIs.

2. InstrumentConnect selected devices/data and validate data quality.

3. OperationalizeConfigure analytics, alerts, workflows and dashboards.

4. ScaleExpand fleet/site coverage, tune models and institutionalize performance management.
