01 · DISCIPLINES

Engineering disciplines

TEC-01
Cryptographic engineering
Implementation and formal verification of standardised post-quantum schemes, including ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA, with external audit and validation evidence.
TEC-02
Secure networking
Hybrid key establishment in production: protected transport, reverse-proxy access and software-defined network segmentation.
TEC-03
Hardware security
Hardware-anchored security: protected execution environments and cryptographic acceleration for high-throughput environments.
TEC-04
Data protection across the lifecycle
Encryption at rest, data sharding and protected backup paths for records whose protection requirement outlasts decades.
TEC-05
Keys and identity
Generation, distribution, rotation and withdrawal of key material under auditable control.
TEC-06
Zero trust and isolation
Segmentation, unidirectional transfer and access architectures for environments that permit no implicit trust.
TEC-07
Compute and AI acceleration
Design and operation of GPU infrastructure and isolated execution environments for institutionally controlled model operation.
TEC-08
Semiconductor research and silicon design
The group conducts semiconductor research, AI chip research and custom silicon design.
TEC-09
Post-quantum migration
From inventory through assessment and implementation to evidence for supervisors and boards.

02 · TECHNOLOGY LINEAGE

Research at Chelpis.

The contributions below are attributable to researchers at Chelpis, the group's technology partner. They are not represented as independent CHANDAL research.

pqm4 · PQClean · PQCA

Chelpis researchers have contributed to the open-source pqm4 and PQClean projects and work within the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance on implementations for 32-bit microcontrollers and 64-bit Arm systems.

UOV · MAYO · Formosa

Research includes contributions to the UOV and MAYO signature candidates and to the European-led Formosa project for formally verified cryptographic software. NIST evaluation of UOV and MAYO is not a claim of standardisation.

03 · PROGRAMME SCHEDULE

The migration schedule.

2026

FIPS 140-2 modules move to the Historical list in September 2026. The immediate task is to know which cryptographic dependencies exist, who owns them and which must change first.

2030

The EU's coordinated PQC roadmap aims for post-quantum protection in high-risk use cases by 2030. This is a planning target, not a universal NIS2 deadline.

2033

US national-security systems have a 2033 transition horizon under CNSA 2.0. This milestone applies to that defined US system class, not automatically to every organisation.

2035

The EU roadmap targets the remaining systems by 2035 where feasible. NIST's draft transition plan also proposes disallowing quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms after 2035 for relevant US federal uses. Neither is a blanket EU–NATO mandate.
