Keeper Security Integrates Kyber to Provide Quantum-Resistant Identity Protection

Keeper Security Integrates Kyber to Provide Quantum-Resistant Identity Protection Keeper Security has announced the integration of the Kyber key encapsulation mechanism across its platform to protect against future quantum computing threats. Kyber, a lattice-based cryptography standard finalized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is designed to withstand the unique computational capabilities of quantum machines that could render current RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) obsolete. This update aims to mitigate “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where adversaries capture encrypted data today to decrypt it once scalable quantum technology becomes available. The implementation utilizes a hybrid cryptographic approach, layering Kyber on top of existing elliptic curve primitives. This design ensures that Keeper’s zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture remains secure against both classical and quantum-era adversaries. The quantum-resistant protocols have already been deployed across Keeper’s backend APIs and Keeper Commander, with a phased rollout scheduled for mobile platforms. The transition is engineered to be crypto-agile, allowing for seamless protocol updates and backward compatibility without requiring user configuration changes. By adopting Kyber, Keeper Security aligns its infrastructure with other major secure communication platforms like Apple iMessage, Signal, and Google Chrome, which began similar deployments in 2024. The platform continues to maintain high-level compliance certifications, including FedRAMP High, GovRAMP High, and FIPS 140-3 validation. This proactive defense strategy focuses on securing privileged access management (PAM), secrets, and credentials for its global user base of over 150 countries.
