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.

iDEX Open Challenge 2026
NIST FIPS 203 / 204 Aligned
100% Indigenous Codebase
Who We Serve

Four Sectors.
One Solution.

Every organisation transmitting data today that must stay confidential for the next 10–20 years is a Vajra customer. Jump to your sector:

Defence

HF radios, VSAT, SDRs, drone data links — 8,000+ assets at risk

Armed Forces · BEL · ECIL →
Banking & BFSI

SWIFT gateways, RTGS, UPI switches, CBS — 800+ nodes exposed

Banks · NBFCs · NPCI →
Government

NIC infrastructure, ministry comms, G2G gateways — sovereign keys only

MeitY · NIC · State Govt →
Telecom

5G edge nodes, network slicing, C-DOT infrastructure — roadmap 2026

C-DOT · BSNL · Jio →
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

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

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.
