C-DOT, Synergy Quantum partner to develop post-quantum cryptography assessment tools.

New Delhi, February 14, 2026: In a major step towards strengthening India’s cybersecurity preparedness for the quantum era, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has signed an agreement with Synergy Quantum India Private Limited, a deep-tech sovereign quantum security company, to jointly develop an automated tool for identifying quantum-sensitive cryptographic vulnerabilities.

The collaboration aims to design a comprehensive solution capable of detecting, classifying, and reporting cryptographic algorithms that are vulnerable to future quantum computing threats in targeted devices.

The primary objective is to create an automated tool that can scan devices to identify cryptographic algorithms and security mechanisms in use, detect vulnerabilities, distinguish between quantum-safe and quantum-sensitive algorithms, and generate detailed reports to support migration towards post-quantum cryptography.

Key components of the C-DOT and synergy quantum collaboration:

The proposed solution will comprise three integrated modules, enabling external black-box scanning of network traffic, risk assessment, and identification of quantum risks, with or without login access, performing internal scanning of libraries on devices to ensure endpoint and container security, managing installation and uninstallation of the agent, executing scans, and aggregating risk data into a unified report.

Once developed, the tool is expected to be a fully integrated, commercially deployable solution that will significantly enhance how organizations access cryptographic readiness for the quantum age.

It will support early detection of vulnerabilities across networks, devices, and applications, including those used in defense, telecommunications, banking and government sectors.

The partnership aligns with India’s national vision of promoting indigenous research and innovation under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and aims to strengthen the country’s leadership in next-generation secure telecommunication technologies.

A key requirement for quantum migration—comprehensive cryptographic inventory assessment—will be a core focus of this initiative.

Leadership speaks:

Speaking on the collaboration, Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO, C-DOT, said, “With the advancement of quantum computing, traditional cryptographic systems are facing numerous challenges.

This collaboration with Synergy Quantum demonstrates our commitment to developing an indigenous solution to secure India’s digital infrastructure and strengthen the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

Expressing enthusiasm for the partnership, Jay Oberoi, Co-Founder and CEO of Synergy Quantum India, said, “This partnership with C-DOT marks a turning point in India’s journey towards quantum-secure systems.

The automated tool will enable government, defense, and critical infrastructure organizations to assess and mitigate quantum-related cryptographic risks.”

The agreement signing ceremony was attended by Shikha Srivastava, EVP, C-DOT; Vipin Rathi, Co-Founder, Synergy Quantum; GS Bedi, Vice President (Retd.) Business Development, and Ajay Singh, COO, along with other senior officials from both organizations.
