PUCE Video: The First Neural Video Codec with Post-Quantum Encryption

We are developing PUCE Video, a next-generation codec that combines neural compression with post-quantum cryptography. Designed for streaming, medical archiving, and surveillance — all protected against quantum threats.

PosQuantum is developing PUCE Video — the world’s first video codec that combines state-of-the-art neural compression with natively integrated post-quantum encryption.

Unlike traditional codecs such as H.264, H.265 or AV1, PUCE Video uses neural networks to intelligently analyze and compress each video frame. The result is significantly superior compression, especially in low-bitrate scenarios.

PUCE Video’s unique differentiator is its native integration with PQSL (Post-Quantum Security Layer). Each frame is encrypted with algorithms compliant with NIST FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), ensuring content is protected against quantum computers from the moment of capture.

Key use cases include secure premium content streaming, medical archiving (DICOM) with decades-long legal retention, surveillance and security where video integrity is critical, and military and government communications.

PUCE Video is currently in training phase, with promising results in neural compression. The .puce container supports multiple tracks (video, audio, subtitles), frame index for fast seeking, and cryptographic metadata for integrity verification.
