The first mass-deployable, one-click installation Quantum-Safe TLS Terminator and Load Balancer. Lastwall's Quantum Shield works as a drop-in TLS terminator with load-balancing capability to enable conventional network infrastructure - using traditional encryption - to be protected from 'Store Now - Decrypt Later' threats using the latest quantum cryptographic standards.
Overview
Quantum Shield is an Amazon Linux 2023 AMI with a build of nginx that allows the use of post-quantum safe cryptographic elliptic curves in SSL ciphers. This means that with a single click, you can safeguard your organization from current 'Store Now - Decrypt Later' campaigns and threats brought on by the advent of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer capable of breaking TLS encryption keys. Quantum Shield is deployed through standard cloud providers, enabling its users to stay up to date with minimal time and resource allocation. Quantum Shield adds a foundational component of future-proofing and quantum resilience to digital environments by incorporating NIST-draft approved PQC algorithms designed to withstand a quantum computing attack. As standardization of PQC algorithms continues to evolve, Quantum Shield is designed to be crypto-agile and rapidly updated with minimal configuration changes to accommodate newly approved NIST algorithms.

Highlights
- Quantum Shield secures your public traffic from Quantum computing threats such as Store/Harvest Now - Decrypt Later campaigns.
- Uses existing nginx configuration. Deployed through a single click. Forward compatible with ML-Kem. Built on the latest Amazon Linux 2023. Utilized as a Reverse Proxy and Load Balancer. Device agnostic. Supported by Chromium-based Web Browsers. Simplified configuration inspired by nginx. Supports End-to-End Quantum Encryption.
- Built to be dynamic; should a connection not support the use of PQC algorithms, Quantum Shield can be configured to shift back to classical encryption in order to maintain backward compatibility to various connection types.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute capacity you choose. Smaller instances like t2.nano or m1.small carry lower hourly rates, while large or metal instances like p5.48xlarge or u-24tb1.112xlarge cost more per hour. There are no tiers or upfront commitments to select. You simply match the instance type to your workload, and the software bills alongside your underlying compute usage for each hour the instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get the Quantum Shield software running on your chosen EC2 instance. The rate maps to that instance size's compute capacity. The software runs on Amazon Linux 2023 and acts as a reverse proxy and load balancer, hardening the TLS layer of your network traffic with post-quantum cryptography.
Software charges accrue per hour while the instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue Quantum Shield software charges. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees, but the software meters running time only.
Your hourly software rate follows the instance type you run. Moving to a larger or metal instance raises the hourly rate; moving to a smaller one lowers it. There are no tiers or commitments, so the change takes effect as soon as you launch the new instance.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
