ZeroTier Partners With Redapt on Post-Quantum Networking
ZeroTier has partnered with systems integrator Redapt to integrate its ZeroTier Quantum networking platform into Redapt’s infrastructure, cloud, and managed services. Specifically, the collaboration, announced on November 5, 2026, will see Redapt assessing, deploying, and managing the platform for enterprise customers in government, defense, finance, and regulated gaming sectors. Indeed, this partnership offers these clients a practical solution for incorporating post-quantum cryptography into their private networks without the extensive rebuilds that typically hinder PQC migrations.
Announcement Details
This announcement outlines a partnership and integration strategy, not a deployed system with verified results. The agreement includes:
- Redapt’s integration of ZeroTier Quantum into its cloud, co-location, and dedicated infrastructure services.
- Redapt’s role in assessing, designing, deploying, and managing the platform, alongside its existing compute, storage, and networking offerings.
- Redapt also serving as ZeroTier’s virtual CISO, providing guidance on security strategy, risk management, and compliance readiness.
- A focus on customers in defense, financial services, and regulated gaming.
ZeroTier describes ZeroTier Quantum as “the world’s first end-to-end quantum secure networking platform.” However, the announcement doesn’t include details on availability dates, customer pilots, commercial terms, or benchmark figures, indicating this is a channel and integration agreement.
Understanding Post-Quantum Networking in This Context
The platform utilizes post-quantum cryptography, distinct from quantum key distribution or quantum random number generation. ZeroTier also states it implements two NIST-standardized algorithms: ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203) for key exchange and ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204) for digital signatures. The company asserts that it embeds hybrid FIPS-compliant post-quantum cryptography into the transport layer via a packet-based protocol called the ZeroTier Transport Protocol, which supports perfect forward secrecy.
ZeroTier claims this construction aligns with CNSA 2.0, the NSA’s suite for quantum-resistant algorithms. This is a vendor assertion of standards alignment and differs from FIPS 140-3 module validation, which certifies a specific cryptographic module and is not mentioned in the provided materials.
The primary issue addressed is “harvest now, decrypt later,” a threat where attackers store encrypted data today with the intent to decrypt it once powerful quantum computers are available. Enterprises that handle data requiring long-term confidentiality are particularly concerned about this. The ZeroTier-Redapt solution allows them to address this threat without undertaking a multi-year network overhaul. Similar demand is evident in commercial quantum networking programs, including UK-funded contracts, and some blockchain projects like Starknet are also documenting their migration efforts.
