RJ Lee Group and Carahsoft Technology have joined forces to make post‑quantum data protection and phishing‑resistant authentication solutions easier for government agencies to use. Under this agreement Carahsoft will serve as RJ Lee Group’s Master Government Aggregator delivering RJ Lee Group’s cybersecurity portfolio to reseller partners and, through existing public‑sector procurement contracts.
The partnership was announced on November 6 2026. It aims at state and local government organizations that are preparing for changing cyber threats and new security needs. The offering blends passwordless authentication with protections to tackle risks brought by future quantum computing capabilities.
Three Security Products Address Identity and Data Protection
RJ Lee Groups cybersecurity portfolio has Greenlight, Quantum Shroud and Quantum Guard. Each product focuses on protecting government identities and sensitive information.
Greenlight is an image-based passwordless authentication solution that aims to reduce the need for passwords one-time codes and push approvals. The main way to authenticate is on the device, which helps stop attackers from stealing or reusing credentials. The company claims the solution can work in denied, disconnected, intermittent and low-bandwidth (DDIL) environments.
The technology is for user groups where giving out Personal Identity Verification (PIV) or Common Access Card (CAC) credentials might not be possible. These groups include mission partners, new accessions and people who are trying to get into their accounts. Greenlight also connects with identity systems like Microsoft Entra ID and CAC/PIV systems.
Quantum Shroud keeps data safe while it is moving by using layers of security that resist quantum attacks. It uses quantum algorithms that have been approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) such as ML-KEM under FIPS 203 and ML-DSA under FIPS 204. The solution is made to work at network enclave boundaries without needing changes, to existing applications.
Quantum Guard extends -quantum protection to data stored on devices. Together Quantum Shroud and Quantum Guard are intended to help agencies strengthen information security, across data transmission and storage environments.
Addressing the Harvest-Now, Decrypt-Later Threat
The partnership happens at a time when government groups and people who run infrastructure are getting ready for the chance that future quantum computers might break some commonly used public-key encryption systems.
A big worry is the harvest-decrypt-later danger. In this case people gather encrypted data today and keep it waiting for computer power that could let them unlock it. Data that needs to stay private for a time could be in danger before big quantum computers that can do real cryptographic work show up.
Post-quantum cryptography is meant to solve this problem by using algorithms that can stand up to attacks from both quantum computers. NISTs choice of ML-KEM and ML-DSA gives organizations encryption guidelines to help with moving to new systems.
RJ Lee Group says its products are made to help with government security goals, including Zero Trust approaches and the National Security Agencys Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (CNSA 2.0) change. The company also sees rules like OMB memorandums M-22-09 and M-26-15 as reasons for more secure authentication and protection, against quantum threats.
Carahsoft Provides Government Procurement Channels
Carahsoft is at the heart of the distribution plan for both the public sectors. Carahsoft’s reseller network and current procurement agreements let government organizations reach RJ Lee Group’s solutions without having to set up a buying path with the technology developer.
The products can be found in NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement V known as SEWP V under contract numbers NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B. They are also, in the E&I Cooperative Services contract EI00063~2021MA.
This setup gives state and local agencies a clear path to review and buy the technologies through established government purchasing channels. It also opens Carahsoft’s network of resellers and public‑sector technology partners to RJ Lee Group.
Implications for Japan’s Government and Critical Infrastructure
Even though the agreement mainly looks at the US sector its technology priorities matter a lot for Japans cybersecurity scene. I see government groups, banks, phone companies and critical infrastructure operators all facing the same challenge: getting their computer systems ready for the post‑quantum age.
Japans long‑term data protection rules make the harvest‑now decrypt‑later danger especially key for data that must stay secret for years. I think government records, defence‑related data, intellectual property and financial data might need safety after the usual switch‑over time for current systems.
The mix of encryption and phishing‑resistant sign‑in shows two linked parts of cybersecurity upgrade. Moving to cryptography shields data from new threats while tougher sign‑in cuts the chance of bad entry through broken passwords.
For businesses and public bodies the news underlines the need to check where old cryptography’s used, spot systems that hold long‑run secret data and make step‑by‑step move plans.
Working with the ID set‑up and apps will also be key especially, for groups that run old and complex systems.
The partnership does not represent a Japan market launch. However, it demonstrates how technology providers and government-focused distributors are working together to make post-quantum and identity security solutions available through established procurement channels.

A Practical Route Toward Quantum-Resilient Cybersecurity
The RJ Lee Group–Carahsoft agreement joins three security capabilities: authentication, data in transit and data stored on devices. Its distribution model is built to help public‑sector organizations obtain these technologies using existing procurement arrangements.
For government agencies the main challenge is to ready security infrastructure before quantum‑related risks turn into operational threats. As post‑quantum standards and authentication requirements guide cybersecurity planning solutions that can work with existing systems may grow more important, for modernization efforts.
