In plain terms: QStrike shows how a near-future quantum-equipped attacker could break the cryptography you run today — then hands you signed, reviewable evidence of exactly where and how.
“QStrike occupies a distinct layer between cryptographic discovery and post-quantum cryptography migration: forward-threat validation against the customer's observed cryptographic surface.”
— Commercial White Paper §1.1 + §07
Qtonic Quantum provides evidence-led quantum cyber risk and vulnerability intelligence tools and services. QScout finds exposure, QStrike proves it through governed forward-threat validation, and QSolve sequences the move from current cryptographic state to hybrid readiness to post-quantum readiness.

Google and Cloudflare set 2029 migration targets; Meta proves internet-scale hybrid TLS
Google and Cloudflare have public 2029 migration targets. Meta has demonstrated hybrid post-quantum TLS at internet scale. QStrike validates where your existing cryptography stands against the same horizon, and QSolve sequences the migration ahead of it.
The operating window is anchored to the 2029 readiness calendar, without countdown framing or fear-based urgency.

Honest limit
What QStrike does — and what it does not
“QStrike does not break RSA-2048 or ECC-256 in production. The hardware to do that does not exist commercially in May 2026, and any vendor representation to the contrary is unsupported. What QStrike does, today, in customer engagements, is identify the indirect-brute-force attack paths that turn the customer's existing implementation defects into tractable problems for a near-future quantum-equipped adversary using cryptanalytic mathematics that exists in the published literature now.”
— Commercial White Paper §1 + §10 FAQ
QStrike operates passively at the data plane. No packet injection. No credential replay. No coercion of a session. No attempt to retrieve a key from a live system.

Representative Engagement
Intelligence Model
Domain-specific orchestration · NDA-bound architecture detail · 5-domain training
The Intelligence Model orchestrates a four-stage loop end-to-end inside every QStrike engagement: candidate generation, routing decisions, validation execution, and adversarial review. Stages 1–3 run deterministic inference; stage 4 prompts a separate Intelligence Model instance, configured as a hostile auditor, to attempt to break each surviving finding.
Stage 1
Candidate generation
The Intelligence Model enumerates indirect-brute-force candidates from the captured cryptographic surface.
Stage 2
Routing decisions
Each candidate routes to the modality and platform profile best suited to validate it.
A separate Intelligence Model instance, configured as a hostile auditor, attempts to falsify every surviving finding.
Each finding passes through human cryptographic engineer review before it reaches the customer-bound evidence package.

Procurement
Operator-scoped procurement
QStrike, QScout, and QSolve are custom-scoped per customer environment rather than sold as a fixed-tier ladder. Engagement scope scales by environment complexity, validation depth, and operating commitment rather than by employee count or seat count.
Direct contract with Qtonic Quantum Corp
Custom commercial terms, evidence-handling protocols, and engagement-specific SLAs. Best fit when the engagement requires unusual scope, federal-customer accommodations, or industry-specific compliance overlays.
Contact/ticket intake for governed enterprise provisioning. Best fit when the buyer needs approved scope, controlled evidence handling, and operator-reviewed delivery.
QStrike output is structured to be portable by design. Customers can take findings to a different migration partner if they choose.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes QStrike different from classical pentesting tools?
QStrike combines an Intelligence Model orchestration loop, six commercial quantum-cloud execution platforms, published-benchmark calibration inputs kept outside the execution set, an indirect-brute-force methodology engine, and a hostile-review-ready evidence system into one engagement model. The website presents governed evidence for that workflow on a provider-calibrated modeled runtime before a scoped customer engagement begins.
Does QStrike break RSA-2048 or ECC-256 today?
No. No commercial quantum system can do that in May 2026. The hardware to break those primitives at scale does not exist commercially. What QStrike does is identify and validate the indirect-brute-force attack paths that turn the customer existing cryptographic exposure into tractable problems for a 2030 to 2031 adversary.
How long does a QStrike engagement take?
A representative engagement runs approximately 120 days across four phases: scoping under NDA (Days 1–30), operational capture (Days 30–60), forward-threat validation (Days 60–100), and delivery & migration sequencing (Days 100–120). Smaller environments compress; larger environments extend. Time to first findings: typically 48-72 hours.
What compliance frameworks does QStrike support?
Compliance mapping covers PCI DSS 4.0.1, NIST SP 800-82 R3, IEC 62443-3-3, NIST IR 8547, NIST CSWP 39, CNSA 2.0, and the G7 financial-sector roadmap. Reports include executive summaries, technical findings, and a sequenced six-phase QSolve remediation roadmap aligned to a 2029 readiness target.
