Quantum-secure storage as critical infrastructure
Atlas Q / 11/11 IPFS is not a consumer app. It is a storage and integrity layer for medical, enterprise, and public-sector workloads that must survive the transition to post-quantum cryptography and increasingly strict regulatory regimes. This page is designed to give investors and strategic partners a concise view of the opportunity and the path to commercialization.
The problem space
Critical data — medical records, legal archives, identity registries, infrastructure logs — is still largely protected by classical cryptography and stored in centralized systems that were never built for long-term quantum risk or jurisdictional fragmentation.
- Quantum risk: adversaries can collect encrypted data now and attempt decryption later as quantum capabilities mature.
- Centralization: single-provider architectures concentrate risk and create failure modes that span entire business lines.
- Regulation: HIPAA, GDPR, and national data-localization rules require fine-grained control over where data lives and how access is audited.
Atlas Q exists to provide a neutral, post-quantum-capable storage substrate that organizations can integrate into existing stacks, rather than a system that asks them to abandon what they have.
Why now
The window between “post-quantum is theoretical” and “post-quantum is required” is closing. Large organizations need credible migration paths that let them protect sensitive archives today while keeping optionality for the future.
Atlas Q is designed to be adopted incrementally: as a storage backend for new workloads, as an archive tier for existing systems, or as a shared neutral layer between multiple institutions.
