SandboxAQ launched Sandwich, an open-source framework that simplifies modern cryptography management and enables developers to steer their organizations towards cryptographic agility.

With a unified API, Sandwich empowers developers to embed the cryptographic algorithms of their choice directly into their applications and change them as technologies and threats evolve - without rewriting code.

Sandwich is open source for embedding cryptography into internal applications and for inclusion in commercial software solutions.

"We created Sandwich to rapidly accelerate development of our own encryption management and cryptographic remediation solutions, but realized that open-sourcing these tools would enable developers to experiment with agile cryptography and advance the community's preparedness before quantum computers can break today's encryption standards."

"Quantum computers will necessitate a complete reengineering of cryptographic systems, including implementing new hardware and software solutions, but many organizations are taking a wait-and-see approach before committing to a particular strategy," said Nadia Carlsten, VP of Product at SandboxAQ. "Sandwich provides developers with a risk-free means to explore post-quantum cryptography, share questions and insights with community members, build cryptographic solutions that protect their organization, and potentially generate revenue from commercial applications they develop."

"With Sandwich, SandboxAQ has created an elegant, open-source solution that enables developers to easily implement cryptography and cryptographic agility into their applications."
