Smart Banner Hub Launches Quantum Auth Forge™: World's First Consumer-Accessible Quantum-Safe Document Authentication Platform

New platform brings NIST FIPS 204 post-quantum cryptography to consumers for $24.99 per document, no enterprise contract required
BEAVERTON, OR – December 22, 2025

Smart Banner Hub LLC, the company behind the Clustrolin™ DBSCAN Creative Engine, today announced the launch of Quantum Auth Forge™ — the first consumer-accessible platform for quantum-safe document authentication, powered by the new Clustrauth™ post-quantum authentication engine.

While enterprise solutions for post-quantum cryptography exist, they remain locked behind six-figure contracts and complex API integrations. Quantum Auth Forge™ democratizes this technology, allowing anyone to cryptographically authenticate documents with the same NIST-approved algorithms selected to protect U.S. federal systems.

"A 30-year mortgage signed in 2025 will still be referenced in 2055 — when quantum computers will have rendered today's cryptography obsolete. We solve this now, not later."
— Ashwin Spencer, Founder & CEO, Smart Banner Hub LLC
HOW IT WORKS

Users upload any document. Quantum Auth Forge™ authenticates the document using hybrid quantum-safe cryptography — combining classical Ed25519 with NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA algorithms. Users receive a Certificate of Authenticity with a unique Certificate ID, providing cryptographic proof that the document existed in its exact form at the time of authentication.

DETECTION, NOT PREVENTION

Unlike DRM systems that attempt to prevent document editing, Quantum Auth Forge™ provides cryptographic detection. If an authenticated document is altered in any way — even a single byte — verification fails. It is computationally infeasible to alter the document without detection; it either matches its authenticated form, or it doesn't.

FREE VERIFICATION

Anyone can verify an authenticated document at smartbannerhub.com/quantum-auth/verify. Simply upload the document and enter its Certificate ID. The platform compares the document's hash against the authenticated original. No account required.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Post-Quantum Signatures: ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) — NIST FIPS 204
  • Classical Signatures: Ed25519 — Elliptic Curve Cryptography
  • Document Hashing: SHA3-256 — Quantum-Resistant
  • Approach: Hybrid dual-signature for defense in depth
  • Supported Formats: All file types (up to 50MB)
  • Output: Certificate of Authenticity with unique Certificate ID
POWERED BY CLUSTRAUTH™

Quantum Auth Forge™ is the first product built on Smart Banner Hub's new Clustrauth™ engine — the first direct-to-consumer quantum-safe document authentication engine. While enterprise competitors require sales calls, multi-month onboarding, and five-figure contracts, Clustrauth™ makes post-quantum authentication accessible through a simple checkout button.
