Who Needs Vajra

Protecting Every
Critical Layer.

Project Vajra is designed for any organisation that transmits sensitive data today that must remain confidential for years to come.

Use Case 01

Defence and
Armed Forces.

Tactical field communications — HF radios, satellite ground terminals, drone data links — use encryption that quantum computers will eventually break. Adversaries harvest this traffic now for future decryption.

Sidecar deployment on existing SDRs — no hardware replacement required
Air-gapped capable — USB key token provisioning for forward-deployed units
Sub-2ms overhead — invisible on real-time voice, video, and data comms
Under 64MB RAM — runs on ARM Bharat-Pi class field hardware
Target Assets
HF radios8,000+ units
VSAT terminals1,500+ units
Drone data linksGrowing fleet
Replacement costRs. 20,000+ Cr
Vajra approachNo replacement needed
Target customers: Armed Forces, BEL, ECIL, DRDO
Use Case 02

UPI switches800+ units
Core banking systemsAll major banks
Payment gatewaysNPCI infrastructure
FrameworkRBI Cyber Security
Latency impact< 2ms overhead
Target customers: Banks, NBFCs, payment processors

Banking and
Financial.

UPI switches and core banking systems transmit financial data that must remain confidential indefinitely. Long-lived financial records are long-term liabilities if harvested today.

Transparent wrapper in front of banking switch — zero CBS changes
Sub-2ms latency — invisible on 2,000+ TPS high-frequency transactions
RBI evolving cybersecurity framework aligned — PQC readiness ahead of mandates
Use Case 03

Government and
Sovereign Cloud.

Existing PQC solutions from foreign vendors create a paradox: you must trust foreign code and foreign key infrastructure to protect national secrets. Vajra eliminates this paradox entirely.

100% indigenous codebase — fully auditable by DRDO or STQC
Sovereign KMS on-premise — Indian jurisdiction over all cryptographic keys
No foreign export-control restrictions, no mandatory vendor cloud callbacks
MeitY cloud policy compliant — for NIC infrastructure and ministry comms

Target customers: MeitY, NIC, Central and State Government
Use Case 04

Telecom and
5G Networks.

5G network slicing creates shared key infrastructure across millions of devices. A single quantum-capable attacker could intercept keys for an entire city's traffic. Vajra targets millions of simultaneous PQC handshakes at the network edge.
