CypherGenics launches FASTKAT security platform backed by U.S. patent portfolio

By Atlas Watchline Staff · Corporate · August 26, 2026

CypherGenics says its FASTKAT platform is built for quantum-ready identity, authentication and encryption and backed by a growing U.S. patent portfolio.

CypherGenics said on Aug. 26 that it launched FASTKAT™, a patented security technology for quantum-ready identity, authentication and encryption in digital environments.

The company said the product is designed to address security risks tied to quantum computing, AI-driven attacks, AI-generated identities and a growing number of connected devices, systems and data. CypherGenics described FASTKAT as a tool for machine-speed authentication and said it avoids the performance bottlenecks of traditional public key infrastructure, or PKI.

The release says FASTKAT is aimed at enterprises and critical infrastructure, two areas that face large volumes of digital transactions and device connections.

CypherGenics said FASTKAT is backed by an intellectual property portfolio covering secure digital ecosystems, encryption, digital signatures, trusted execution, blockchain verification and other applications. The company named U.S. Patent No. 12,587,513, titled Cyphergenics-Enabled Digital Ecosystems and Cyphergenics-Enabled Digital Signatures, which it said was issued March 24, 2026.

According to the release, that patent covers techniques for securing digital data using CypherGenics-based constructs, including encryption and digital signatures. The company also said its broader portfolio includes issued patents covering CypherGenics-based verification of blockchains and the encoding and decoding of executable instructions and program data.

Kent Kresa, CEO and chairman of the board, said in the release that quantum computing and autonomous AI systems are changing the cybersecurity landscape and that FASTKAT offers a new approach to quantum-ready security. William Arbaugh, president of CypherGenics, said the cybersecurity landscape is reaching an inflection point and that FASTKAT helps protect identities, data, devices and digital interactions.

Rory Duncan, principal analyst at Richmond Advisory Group, said quantum-ready cybersecurity will become non-negotiable as regulatory frameworks become law.

The release also said CypherGenics' fully symmetric methodology delivers quantum-ready encryption 100 times faster than PKI and does so without PKI's cost or complexity. That performance claim was made by the company in its announcement.

CypherGenics said FASTKAT was announced in Marina del Rey, Calif. The company did not provide a launch timeline beyond the Aug. 26 announcement.
