Post-quantum remediation

pqcheck finds it. Tessera fixes it.

cipherwake.io is the public-facing scanner that measures harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure. Behind it, we're building Tessera — a patented post-quantum handshake protocol designed for the byte-constrained channels that NIST's ML-KEM (768–1568 bytes per exchange) physically can't fit.

The protocols below all have wire-format constraints that block ML-KEM from being practical. Tessera is engineered to deliver PQ-grade key agreement inside those budgets without redesigning the underlying transport. Patent-protected; SDK in active development; public launch is post-MVP — once pqcheck has demonstrated the demand for harvest-now risk measurement, the SDK becomes the natural remediation layer.

The protocols Tessera is for

Bluetooth Low Energy

20–244 byte frames
Wearables, medical pairing, IoT.

NFC contactless

261 bytes max
Tap-to-pay, transit, access control.

LoRaWAN

242 bytes max
Smart cities, asset tracking, utilities.

Medical-device firmware

Often constrained
Implants, infusion controllers, monitors.

Payment-terminal firmware

EMV-constrained
Card-present POS, chip-and-PIN.

V2X / DSRC

Frame-budget bound
Connected vehicles, ITS infra.

Why this is a separate product

The HNDL scanner answers "how exposed is this domain?" Tessera answers "what do we do about it on a channel that can't fit ML-KEM?" The first is a measurement; the second is a deployment. They share a worldview but serve different buyers — measurement is engineering-facing and free; remediation is firmware-facing and license-only.

For inquiries about Tessera

The SDK is not yet generally available. If you're operating a constrained-channel deployment (BLE, NFC, LoRaWAN, V2X, EMV, embedded medical) and want to discuss timing or design-partner access, reach out at tessera@cipherwake.io.

Or scan a domain — the public scanner is free, no signup. cipherwake.io
