ZorblaxCorp — Vision

"Make post-quantum encryption boring." — Talia Renford, CEO

ZorblaxCorp builds CipherPlate, a drop-in cryptography layer for compliance-bound industries (healthcare, finance, defense supply chain) that must replace RSA/ECC before quantum computers break them.

Why ZorblaxCorp exists

The NIST Round 4 finalization of post-quantum standards (FALCON, SPHINCS+, ML-KEM) leaves engineering teams with a question they don't want to answer themselves: which one, when, and how do we wire it in without rewriting our auth stack?

CipherPlate is the answer — a sidecar service that accepts any cryptographic operation in a stable RPC envelope and routes it through the algorithm we recommend for the customer's threat model.

Concrete commitments

• Algorithm coverage: FALCON-1024, SPHINCS+ SHAKE-256, ML-KEM-1024, plus classical RSA-4096 and ECDSA-P521 for transition periods.
• Latency budget: ≤ 14 ms p99 added latency on a single signature operation on Tier-3 hardware (8 vCPU, 16 GiB).
• Customer commitment: every CipherPlate deployment ships with a written threat-model assessment co-signed by ZorblaxCorp's cryptography review board.
