Kevin Kane is a founder, CEO, technologist, and deep-tech entrepreneur working at the intersection of economic security, cybersecurity, and post-quantum cryptography. He is the CEO and co-founder of American Binary, founded in 2019, where he has led the company in developing fully post-quantum networking technologies aligned with the National Security Agency's Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite (CNSA) 2.0, which defines the cryptographic algorithms the U.S. government is adopting to protect national security systems against the emerging threat of quantum computing. His mission is focused on protecting economic and national security by securing the networks that underpin governments, critical infrastructure, and commercial enterprises.

 

Under his leadership, American Binary developed Ambit Client, a fully post-quantum encrypted VPN and networking platform engineered to meet CNSA 2.0 requirements.
