🎯 Executive Summary

The $3.2 Trillion Problem Nobody Can Solve Fast Enough

Post-quantum cryptography standards are finalized. The algorithms are public. The reference implementations are open source. Yet the average enterprise quantum readiness score is 28 out of 100 (IBM, 2025).

The bottleneck was never the algorithms — NIST solved that in August 2024. The bottleneck is organizational adoption.

Q-GRID Comply is the first platform to address all five organizational barriers that prevent enterprises from achieving quantum-safe compliance:

Metric	Traditional Approach	Q-GRID Comply
Time to first migration	10-15 months (procurement alone)	1 day
Full compliance timeline	27-48 months	6 months
Risk of breaking systems	High (rip-and-replace)	Zero (hybrid dual-mode)
Vendor lock-in	Proprietary stacks	Open standards (NIST FIPS 203/204)
Compliance proof	Self-reported checklists	Quantum-signed immutable audit trails

🏗️ Architecture Overview

Q-GRID Comply is a layered architecture designed for incremental adoption, zero-downtime migration, and verifiable compliance proof.

Six-Layer Strategic Integration

Layer 1: DETECTION & INVENTORY
├── CBOMkit-Hyperion (source code scanning)
├── CBOMkit-Theia (container scanning)
├── PQC-Scanner (network TLS scanning)
└── pqc-flow (passive traffic verification)

Layer 2: COMPLIANCE EVALUATION
├── COMPL-AI Framework (27 EU AI Act benchmarks)
├── EU AI Act Policy Model (DistilBERT, F1: 0.81)
├── PQC-Legal-BERT (custom fine-tuned legal NLP)
└── OPA/Rego policies (real-time compliance rules)

Layer 3: CRYPTOGRAPHIC OPERATIONS
├── @noble/post-quantum (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA)
├── Node.js 24+ native crypto (zero-dep path)
└── CryptoAgility.js (algorithm routing + state machine)

Layer 4: IMMUTABLE AUDIT TRAIL
├── Hedera HCS (primary consensus, $0.0001/msg)
├── Tessera (secondary transparency log)
└── Sigstore/Cosign (supply chain provenance)

Layer 5: MIGRATION CONTROL
├── OpenFeature SDK (vendor-agnostic flags)
├── Unleash (12.1k stars, Node.js + PostgreSQL)
└── OPAL (real-time policy distribution)

Layer 6: GOVERNANCE & REPORTING
├── CISO Assistant API (100+ frameworks)
├── VerifyWise API (AI governance)
└── Q-GRID Dashboard (unified view + QRS)

🔑 Seven Key Innovations

1. CBOM with Quantum Vulnerability Classification

Extends CycloneDX v1.6+ with quantum-specific taxonomy:

• CRITICAL: RSA-1024, DSA-1024, ECDH-P192 (broken by quantum now)
• HIGH: RSA-2048, ECDH-P256, ECDSA-P256 (broken by 2035)
• MEDIUM: RSA-3072, ECDH-P384 (transitional)
• LOW: AES-128, SHA-256 (Grover's impact only)
• QUANTUM_SAFE: ML-KEM-768, ML-DSA-65, SLH-DSA

2. Five-State Migration State Machine

LEGACY_ONLY → HYBRID_SIGN → HYBRID_VERIFY → PQC_PRIMARY → PQC_ONLY

• Atomic transitions with rollback capability
• OpenFeature-controlled algorithm switching
• Percentage rollout (1% → 10% → 100%)
• Kill switch for instant revert

3. Two-Stage AI Vulnerability Pipeline

Stage 1: CodeBERT (fast triage, <50ms, 94% recall) Stage 2: CodeAstra-7B (deep analysis, 83% accuracy, 13 languages)

4. Quantum-Signed Audit Trail

• Hedera HCS: 10k TPS, $0.0001/msg, 3-5s finality
• ML-DSA-65 signatures: FIPS 204 compliant
• Tessera dual-attestation: Merkle tree inclusion proofs
• Public verification: via Hedera mirror nodes

5. Verifiable Compliance Credentials

W3C Verifiable Credentials with:

• ML-DSA-65 quantum-resistant signatures
• Privacy-preserving aggregation (scores, not details)
• Hedera HTS NFT minting for transferability
• Selective disclosure for regulators vs. partners

6. Quantum Readiness Score (QRS)

Composite 0-100 metric across 5 dimensions:

• CBOM Coverage (25%)
• Migration Progress (30%)
• Policy Compliance (20%)
• Audit Completeness (15%)
• Risk Exposure (10%)

7. Policy-as-Code Deadline Automation

• OPA/Rego policies encoding CNSA 2.0 deadlines
• OPAL real-time distribution to all agents
• Automated escalation as deadlines approach
