As quantum computers grow more powerful, they threaten to eventually break the cryptographic schemes used today to sign and authenticate digital documents — RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography, in particular, would become vulnerable to a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. NIST finalized its first three post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024 (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), setting the regulatory foundation for a transition that is now accelerating: several deadlines converge in late 2026 and early 2027, between the scheduled end-of-life of certain existing standards and new acquisition requirements for sensitive systems. Organizations that rely on electronic signatures for long-term commitments — contracts, notarized deeds, regulatory filings — need to plan for this shift toward algorithms resistant to future computing power. The recommended approach rests on crypto-agility: separating application logic from the underlying cryptographic provider, so one algorithm can be swapped for another without rewriting the systems built on top of it.
EBH Q designs post-quantum solutions for the group — cryptographic research, hybrid algorithms, and applied products, including an electronic signature platform combining classical and post-quantum cryptography.

PIBD (Peer Incident-Based Detection): our proprietary methodology cross-references signals observed across clients to identify an emerging threat before it reaches you — without ever exposing one client's data to another.
Our security practices are oriented toward the DGSSI (Morocco's national information systems security agency) framework.
Infrastructure hosted and operated in-house, outside third-party cloud platforms, for the systems that handle your security data.
Post-quantum cryptography is still a young field: several algorithm families coexist, and choosing the right trade-off (key size, performance, proof strength) depends on the use case.
An organization integrated EBH Q into its contracting process to secure the long-term validity of its signed documents, in a context where the legal retention requirement for documents far exceeds the estimated vulnerability horizon of classical cryptographic schemes. The integration required no change to the existing user-facing signing flow.
