A sovereign cryptography solution to combat the quantum threat for global defence and government
Building on the trusted Datacryptor heritage, DCM5 is future-proofed for quantum readiness and offers seamless integration with existing systems. With full backward compatibility with Datacryptor 2000, it is designed for secure communications across multiple nations, including Five Eyes partners and multinational coalitions.
Key features include:
• Sovereign Control: Customer-defined cryptography at hardware and software levels.
• Global Interoperability: Secure use across multiple nations with mutually agreed algorithms.
• Quantum-Ready: Smooth transition to post-quantum algorithms without hardware replacement.
• Certified Protection: Meets UK CAPS High Grade and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards.
“DCM5 is not just a product upgrade – it’s a pivotal capability for nations that must safeguard their most sensitive data against the current cyber threat landscape and tomorrow’s quantum powered adversaries,” said Chris Edwards, Managing Director of Secure Communication and Protection activities in the UK. “By empowering customers to define and control their cryptography at the hardware level, we’re delivering unmatched resilience, sovereignty, and long-term operational assurance.”
Thales has already secured an initial customer for the DCM5, marking the start of its integration into wider encryption systems globally.
