ZeroTier and Carahsoft Partner to Bring Post-Quantum Software-Defined Networking to the Public Sector

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

ZeroTier and Carahsoft Technology have signed a strategic partnership to sell ZeroTier Quantum, a post‑quantum software‑defined networking solution, to U.S. federal and defense customers. Carahsoft will act as the Master Government Aggregator, offering the platform through its reseller network and NASA’s SEWP V contract vehicles (NNG15SC03B, NNG15SC27B). ZeroTier Quantum embeds hybrid ML‑KEM‑1024 and ECDH P‑384 key exchange in its Rust‑based transport protocol, meeting NSA CNSA 2.0 and NIST post‑quantum migration requirements. The architecture can overlay legacy assets, cloud, edge, tactical and air‑gapped environments without hardware changes, delivering zero‑trust access and data sovereignty for high‑value missions. Federal agencies can deploy the solution across classified networks, UAV fleets and software‑defined vehicles, gaining immediate cryptographic protection while preserving existing investments and operational continuity.

💡 Why It Matters

  • · By delivering post‑quantum security without rewiring legacy infrastructure, the deal lets the government harden critical networks ahead of quantum threats while staying on budget.
