Protect confidential newsroom sources against future decryption

Which communications and source records remain dangerous if captured now and decrypted years later?

Operational pain

Secure messaging, email, file transfer, notes, cloud backup, and collaborator tools have different cryptographic and retention boundaries.

Trigger

Sensitive investigation, source-protection review, or quantum-readiness planning.

QNSI contribution

Connect the decision to a controlled security path

Map QNSI-observed algorithms, keys, services, devices, transfers, owners, and retention to the source-protection workflow.

Decision artifact

A source confidentiality threat map with capture points, data lifetimes, migration options, and deletion decisions.

What still requires validation

Journalists and counsel decide source risk, operational security, legal duties, usability, and acceptable tools.

External problem context

Primary sources

These sources establish the external requirement or risk context. They do not endorse HEOSSI or prove that QNSI completed this scenario.

Evidence boundary

What this page does—and does not—prove

This is a product evaluation pattern, not a customer case study, certification, legal opinion, regulator endorsement, or claim that a production deployment completed the described work.
