Patero, a post-quantum cryptography company, has integrated its post-quantum encryption technology into Syllego’s Distributed Universal Sensing Technology (DUST) platform. Syllego focuses on intelligent infrastructure solutions for smart cities. This collaboration aims to bolster cybersecurity for U.S. cities, aligning with federal mandates including Executive Order 14144 and National Security Memoranda 10 and 22.
The DUST platform provides real-time situational awareness and operational efficiency for urban environments, integrating advanced sensors, edge AI, and operational orchestration. By incorporating Patero’s CryptoQoR™ post-quantum cryptography, DUST secures critical data and communications across city systems with NIST quantum-resistant encryption. Patero’s solutions are designed to hybridize classical encryption with NIST-standardized quantum-resistant algorithms, mitigating cryptographic vulnerabilities and protecting data-in-motion from “steal-now, decrypt-later” and future direct decryption attacks. The platform supports applications such as emergency response, traffic management, cyber-physical security, and power grid resilience.
This integration addresses the need for quantum-resistant solutions in urban digital infrastructure as federal guidelines evolve. The partnership supports compliance with U.S. federal cybersecurity mandates that direct actions on PQC to ensure protection against future compute architectures and to enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure sectors. The collaboration aims to provide municipalities with a foundation for quantum-resistant solutions, contributing to enhanced security, regulatory alignment, operational efficiency, and scalability for city departments and services.
