Quantum-Resistant Bridge Launch - ItusBridge™

With support from NIST, we are proud to introduce ItusBridge™, a quantum-resistant hardware module built to enable a secure, low-impact transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography. Featuring dual cryptographic domains and a secure enclave, the platform delivers verifiable interoperability between legacy infrastructure and PQC systems.

To accelerate adoption, Secure Micro Technologies is launching an Early Adopter Program, providing prototype Itus Bridge™ modules to select organizations. Participants will benefit from early access, dedicated technical support, and direct collaboration with both NIST and Secure Micro’s teams.
