Post-quantum protection designed for enterprise-grade cryptocurrency custody
Institutional cryptocurrency holders manage substantial assets that represent attractive targets for sophisticated adversaries. The 'harvest now, decrypt later' strategy involves collecting encrypted private keys today with the intention of decrypting them once quantum computers become powerful enough to break current encryption algorithms.
Traditional elliptic curve cryptography, which secures most cryptocurrency wallets today, relies on mathematical problems that quantum computers could solve efficiently using Shor's algorithm. This poses a significant risk to institutional portfolios that may need to remain secure for decades.
BMIC's quantum-resistant wallet addresses these concerns by implementing NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms that remain secure even against quantum adversaries.
BMIC implements ML-KEM-768 (CRYSTALS-Kyber, NIST FIPS 203) for key encapsulation and ML-DSA-65 (CRYSTALS-Dilithium, NIST FIPS 204) for signatures. These algorithms have undergone extensive scrutiny and standardization by NIST, ensuring their security and reliability.
The hybrid approach combines classical and post-quantum cryptography, allowing institutions to maintain compatibility while adding quantum resistance. This dual-layer protection ensures continued security during the transition period as quantum computers evolve.
Our implementation follows the published standard sizes: 1184-byte public keys, 1088-byte ciphertext, and 3309-byte signatures, ensuring compliance with FIPS standards.
BMIC's institutional wallet offers multi-signature capabilities with post-quantum protection, enabling organizations to distribute signing authority across multiple parties while maintaining quantum resistance.
The vault design ensures that private keys never leave the user's device, supporting true self-custody principles that institutional investors demand. No third party can access or move assets without proper authorization.
Comprehensive backup and recovery mechanisms use post-quantum encryption to protect institutional assets during device transitions or emergency access scenarios.
The wallet includes comprehensive logging and audit trails that meet institutional compliance requirements. All cryptographic operations are logged with tamper-evident mechanisms to detect unauthorized access attempts.
Integration capabilities allow institutions to connect the wallet with existing compliance and monitoring systems, providing visibility into asset management while maintaining security.
Role-based access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can perform specific operations, reducing the risk of internal threats.
BMIC's institutional wallet can be deployed on-premises or in private cloud environments, giving organizations complete control over their security infrastructure.
API integration options allow seamless connection with existing portfolio management and trading systems, minimizing operational disruption during implementation.
Dedicated support and training programs ensure smooth deployment and adoption across institutional teams.

Ethereum verifies ECDSA signatures on-chain. No wallet — ours included — can make on-chain signatures quantum-safe today. What we protect is your vault, your backups and your device handoff, which is exactly what an attacker harvests now to decrypt later.
Yes, BMIC ensures true self-custody. Keys never leave the user's device. BMIC never holds user assets and cannot move them.
The hybrid tier combines classical and post-quantum cryptography, offering protection for the vault, encrypted backups, and device-to-device handoff while maintaining compatibility with existing systems.
Real NIST-standardised cryptography — ML-KEM-768 and ML-DSA-65 — protecting your vault, backups and device handoff. Two tiers, one wallet.
