CypherGenics Launches FASTKAT Platform for Post-Quantum Identity and Encryption

Post-quantum cybersecurity developer CypherGenics has announced the launch of FASTKAT™, its security platform designed to deliver quantum-ready identity, authentication, and encryption across enterprise environments, critical infrastructure, and operational technology (OT). The platform uses a fully symmetric methodology engineered to bypass the computational overhead of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), providing machine-speed authentication designed for low-power IoT/OT hardware and autonomous AI-driven systems.

100x Acceleration Over Traditional PKI via Symmetric Methodology

Conventional public-key cryptography—and many lattice-based Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithm candidates—impose significant bandwidth and processing latency. FASTKAT addresses these performance constraints through a non-PKI architecture:

• 100x Speed Advantage: By utilizing a patented, fully symmetric cryptographic methodology, FASTKAT achieves encryption speeds 100 times faster than conventional PKI, bypassing the key size and computational overhead that degrade low-latency environments.

• Genomic Differentiation & Dynamic Object Modification: The platform employs controlled entropy and "digital genomic constructions". This allows data objects to undergo digital modification and reconstruction via computationally complex functions without losing structural or genomic integrity.

• Securing Autonomous AI Ecosystems: As AI agents increasingly operate at machine speeds across enterprise networks, FASTKAT provides rapid mutual identity verification and encryption designed to scale with autonomous systems.

Intellectual Property and Executive Leadership

FASTKAT is backed by an expanding portfolio of issued U.S. patents:

• U.S. Patent No. 12,587,513: Issued March 24, 2026, titled "Cyphergenics-Enabled Digital Ecosystems and Cyphergenics-Enabled Digital Signatures," covering digital signatures, virtual trusted execution domains, blockchain verification, and secure encoding of executable instructions.

• Executive Direction: The company is led by CEO & Board Chairman Kent Kresa (former Chairman and CEO of Northrop Grumman) and President William Arbaugh, positioning the technology for critical infrastructure and defense-adjacent deployments.
