Frequently asked questions
What signatures does AffixIO use?
ML-DSA-65 on supported attestation paths, aligned with NIST FIPS 204.
What is harvest-now-decrypt-later?
Capturing encrypted data today to decrypt after quantum computers break current algorithms.
Do I need PQC for audit proofs?
If proofs must verify for years, yes. Sign with quantum-safe algorithms at issuance.
How do I verify a signature?
Use the PQC verifier tool or openapi attestation endpoints documented on this site.
When is the US federal deadline?
Contractor PQC compliance trajectory targets 31 December 2030 under current executive order guidance.
Hybrid signatures?
Some deployments dual-publish classical and PQC during migration.
EU timeline?
Align with contractor and sector guidance; US federal target is 2030.
Verify old proofs?
Crypto-agility plans should define verification of pre-migration credentials.
