PQC Protection for AI Model Weights and Training Infrastructure
Covers the cryptographic exposure of large language model weights, training checkpoint files, and distributed training cluster communications. Addresses NIST PQC standards for securing model artefact storage, cryptographic signing of model versions, and post-quantum secure NCCL and MPI collective communications in GPU training clusters. Aimed at MLOps engineers, AI platform security teams, and AI governance leads.
- Cryptographic exposure of model weights: storage encryption and transmission risks
- Post-quantum signing of model versions and release artefacts
- NCCL and MPI inter-node communications in GPU training clusters: quantum risk and PQC options
- Key management for distributed training infrastructure at scale
- NIST FIPS 203 and 204 integration into MLOps pipelines and model registries
