Quantum-Resistant Data Diode Secures Sensitive Data on Edge Devices, Critical Systems

Forward Edge-AI's Isidore Quantum is a palm-sized, low-SWaP data diode that enforces one-way data flow and applies standards-based post-quantum cryptography (AES-256, ML-KEM/ML-DSA) to protect operational technology and edge endpoints from future quantum-enabled decryption (harvest-and-decrypt-later). Validated in multiple U.S. government pilots, FIPS 140-3 compliant, and integrated with partners such as Microsoft and Lumen, the device targets satellites, field equipment, research labs, utilities, and other high-value edge sites where low-latency, high-throughput, and quantum-safe protection are required.
