Frequently Asked Questions
When will quantum computers break RSA?
Current estimates range from 10–20 years for cryptographically relevant quantum computers. However, harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks mean sensitive data is at risk today.
Does Rivet upload my files to the cloud?
No. All analysis runs locally on your machine. No files, binaries, or source code are ever sent to Cerebion servers.
What is the difference between Desktop and Server editions?
Desktop is a single-seat license for individual use. Server supports unlimited seats and includes CI/CD integrations, air-gap support, and priority support.
Can I use Rivet in an air-gapped environment?
Yes. Rivet supports fully offline operation with Ed25519-signed offline license files. No internet connection is required.
What NIST PQC algorithms does Rivet recommend?
Rivet recommends ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber) for key encapsulation and ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) for digital signatures — both NIST FIPS 203/204 standardized.
How do I move my license to a new machine?
Open Cerebion Rivet on your old machine → Settings → License → click "Deactivate License". Then activate on your new machine using the same license key. If you no longer have access to the old machine, contact support@cerebion.com and we will reset your activation remotely.
How do I cancel my subscription?
To cancel, email support@cerebion.com with your license key or the email address used at purchase. We will cancel your subscription within one business day. Your license remains active until the end of the current billing period.
Does a clean Binary Analyzer result mean my binary is quantum-safe?
No. A clean result means no known vulnerable cryptographic patterns were detected using static analysis. Rivet cannot detect runtime-only crypto, custom implementations that do not match known patterns, or algorithms hidden inside encrypted/packed binary sections. See the Binary Analyzer Limitations section for full details.
