Inspiration
With the rapid advancement of quantum computing, today’s encryption standards like RSA and ECC will soon become vulnerable. This realization inspired us to build QuantumCertify, a platform that helps organizations and developers identify whether their existing digital certificates are quantum-safe and provides AI-guided steps to transition toward Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
What it does
QuantumCertify allows users to upload X.509 certificates (PEM or DER format) and instantly view: Certificate details — issuer, subject, validity, public key, and signature algorithms. A quantum-safety analysis indicating if the algorithms used are resistant to quantum attacks. AI recommendations (powered by Google Gemini) suggesting PQC migration strategies. The platform also visualizes certificate metadata in a clean, user-friendly interface, making cryptographic insights accessible to both developers and cybersecurity professionals. Also fetches live HTTPS certificates directly from websites and analyzes them for quantum safety. The platform visualizes certificate metadata in a clean, user-friendly interface, making cryptographic insights accessible to both developers and cybersecurity professionals.
How we built it
Frontend: React.js Backend: FastAPI (Python) Database: Microsoft SQL Server Libraries: cryptography, pyOpenSSL AI Integration: Google Gemini API Deployment: Hosted at quantumcertify.tech Version Control: GitHub + CI/CD pipeline via GitHub Actions
Challenges we ran into
Parsing certificates in both PEM and DER formats accurately. Mapping cryptographic algorithm OIDs to human-readable names. Designing a consistent backend logic to evaluate quantum safety based on algorithm type. Integrating AI recommendations and maintaining performance across the full stack. Configuring hosting and SSL for a secure live deployment.
What we learned
Deep insights into Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Post-Quantum Cryptography. How to integrate AI with cybersecurity tools for intelligent recommendations. Full-stack deployment with FastAPI, React, and Azure-like hosting environments. Managing end-to-end workflows—from cryptographic data parsing to frontend visualization.
What’s next
Support for PQC certificate generation and validation. Integration directly with azure and aws. Dashboard for organization-wide certificate health monitoring.
