GovTech

Build 'QuantumLock Gov'—a hardware-agnostic, AI-driven PQC migration orchestrator for legacy government infrastructure. The system uses ML to fingerprint legacy cryptographic implementations in air-gapped environments (e.g., old voting machines, traffic control systems), simulates quantum attack vectors to prioritize patching, and deploys hybrid classical-quantum key exchange protocols via software-defined radio or edge gateways without replacing existing hardware.

Government agencies and critical infrastructure operators face an imminent 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat. Current PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) standards used in voting machines, passport databases, and utility SCADA systems are vulnerable to quantum decryption. The French mandate creates a hard deadline (2027) for certification, leaving thousands of legacy government endpoints with no automated path to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration. Doing nothing risks total loss of state secrets and infrastructure control within 3-5 years.
