Cipherwake builds tools that measure how much of your data becomes plaintext when quantum computers arrive. We invented Decryption Blast Radius — the first continuous metric for harvest-now risk — and we ship it for free at cipherwake.io.
Adversaries are recording encrypted internet traffic today, with the explicit intent of decrypting it once cryptographically-relevant quantum computers exist. NIST projects this threshold between 2030 and 2040. Records harvested today and decrypted in that window remain sensitive if your data has a long lifetime — medical records, financial transactions, identity documents, intellectual property, government records.
Every other TLS scanner answers a binary question: "is post-quantum cryptography enabled?" We answer the question that actually matters: “how much past + future data unlocks if one private key is compromised?” The answer is a continuous score combining session-state analysis, key rotation, certificate lifetime, subject scale, and adversary attention.

Cipherwake is a stealth-mode venture in 2026. The founding team combines clinical-medicine and cryptographic-systems backgrounds, with healthcare as the initial vertical focus. The underlying hybrid handshake protocol is patent-protected via a US provisional application; non-provisional conversion is in progress. Public team identification will follow product launch.
Free, forever: the public scanner at cipherwake.io, the npx pqcheck CLI, the public leaderboards, the methodology, and per-domain shareable reports. These are the public-utility brand contract — they stay free.
Paid (eventually): internal-network scanning, vertical SKUs (banking-tuned, healthcare-tuned, defense-tuned), 24/7 SLA, high-volume API access, SOC tool integrations, and SDK licensing. These are net-new value not currently available — when they ship, they ship as paid from day one.
We don't run "free during beta, paid later" rug-pulls. What's free today stays free forever.
Cipherwake quantifies HNDL risk — it does not produce regulatory compliance reports. We don't ship HIPAA / PCI / SOX / CMMC mappings, audit-ready PDFs, or compliance migration roadmaps. Those are different products from different vendors. We're not in the compliance-reporting category.
