QUAROM: Quantum Secure Data Rooms for Storage and Sharing
QUAROM is a secure data-room platform for storing and sharing sensitive, long-lived documents. It applies client-side encryption and post-quantum cryptography, ensuring that plaintext files, raw file keys, and unencrypted private keys are not exposed to the backend. Access is granted on a need-to-know basis through recipient-specific key envelopes, with additional support for quorum-sealed files that require multiple custodians to approve access and hash-chained audit records for sensitive actions. The main beneficiaries are government, defence, healthcare, legal, financial, and other organizations that manage highly confidential or regulated information requiring long-term protection. QUAROM can be offered as a B2B cybersecurity software product or managed secure data-room service. Its main advantage is that sensitive documents remain protected from the storage provider and unauthorized users while also reducing exposure to harvest-now, decrypt-later threats associated with future quantum computers.
