Specialized expertise where it matters most

Suite A / CNSA End-to-end encryption (E2EE) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Hardware Security Module (HSM) Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) Communications security (COMSEC) Transmission security (TRANSEC) Information assurance (IA) Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)

High Assurance Device Certification

Navigating the complex High Assurance Device certification process from initial concept and requirements development through to a final certified hardware platform.

We support both sides of the submission: the engineering that has to be true, and the evidence that has to prove it.

  • Certification testing, analysis, and evaluation
  • Develop certification artifacts and documentation packages
  • Secure architecture design and analysis
  • Key Management design guidance (EKMS/KMI)

Cryptographic Engineering

Designing, implementing, testing, and sustaining Commercial and High Assurance Devices and Suite A and CNSA algorithms.

Our engineers work the full device lifecycle: defining requirements and designing the system, evaluating and testing it, then sustaining fielded systems across their service life.

  • Algorithm & Key Specification Development
  • Post-quantum migration paths (CNSA 2.0, CNCSSP-15)
  • Crypto agility and firmware-updatable designs

Systems Security Engineering

Our CISSP-credentialed leadership sets the standard for disciplined, end-to-end systems security engineering. We derive protection needs from mission requirements, architect controls that meet them, and build the assurance evidence required to withstand independent review.

  • Information assurance: confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, and survivability, evidenced rather than asserted
  • Cybersecurity and integration: supporting secure implementation, verification and validation, and continuous assessment through fielding

Test & Evaluation

Our engineers have hands-on Test & Evaluation experience under real-world conditions. We bring a unique capability that merges the perspectives of acquisition, certification, development, and operations and applies them to Test & Evaluation for:

  • Test plan and report generation
  • Device characterization
  • Anomaly resolution
  • Mission support

03 Why Choose Us CRYPTEK

The subject-matter-expert leadership advantage

Why primes and agencies partner with us.

Solutions & Security Focused

Engineers top to bottom, with uncompromising security integrity. We don't patch security issues; we design and architect them out of the system.

Requirements Experts

We define the system requirements upfront, so we build the end product for purpose, not for excess.

The “Mission Assurance” Approach

Full-spectrum technical advisory combining engineering and program management disciplines to ensure mission success.

Led by the people behind these claims

Our engineering leadership team brings more than 30 years of experience delivering cybersecurity, cryptographic, and engineering solutions to DoW and Intelligence Community programs. Our leaders remain engaged from concept through delivery, ensuring systems are secure by design.
