# Feranor > Feranor, based in the Lyon area, France, publishes software and consults: Feranor PQC Suite, post-quantum encryption and signature; and consulting in the architecture and governance of high-performance distributed systems, built on Distributed Hive Governance (DHG), Feranor's method of clear ownership, explicit contracts and structural accountability, set out in the book Architecting the End of Chaos. Feranor PQC Suite is the product: hybrid post-quantum encryption and signature at the ANSSI profile, declared to ANSSI as a means of cryptology (declaration no. 34734727, 15 October 2026), published by Feranor SARL, Oullins-Pierre-Bénite near Lyon (RCS Lyon 937 926 020). Feranor was founded by Mickael Lamare, 18+ years of .NET, Azure and large-scale platform engineering, author of the DHG book. The consulting spans three areas: distributed architecture and engineering, governance of complex systems including autonomous AI agents in production, and reliability and performance engineering (DevOps, DevSecOps, FinOps). ## Company - [About Feranor](https://www.feranor.com/about): Feranor's story, why post-quantum encryption, its founder, and what can be checked (the ANSSI declaration, signed releases, CSAF advisories). ## Products - [Feranor PQC Suite](https://www.feranor.com/pqc): Post-quantum encryption and signature, hybrid with classical cryptography as ANSSI recommends, in standard CMS messages (RFC 5652): an SDK for .NET, the `fpqc` command line, a sidecar with an HTTP API for any language, and a console for business users. ANSSI profile by default; declared to ANSSI as a means of cryptology (declaration no. 34734727). Runs entirely in the customer's infrastructure, with no account, cloud or telemetry. Pricing: €20,000 excl. VAT per legal entity per year (€18,000 for the public sector), all components included. Release certificate fingerprint and published versions: https://www.feranor.com/pqc/releases - [Feranor PQC Sidecar API (OpenAPI 3.1)](https://www.feranor.com/pqc/sidecar-openapi.json): The HTTP API of the sidecar, for generating clients in Java, Python, Node, Go or C#: every route, parameter, header, media type, error code (RFC 9457 problem details) and JSON answer, checked against the sidecar by its tests. - [Feranor PQC Suite architecture](https://www.feranor.com/pqc/architecture): How the suite runs in the customer's infrastructure, which component serves whom, where the keys are (encrypted PEM files, their secret from a file or a vault), and what crosses the network (the CMS messages, the signed release archive, the online revocation checks of signing certificates; nothing to Feranor). - [Feranor PQC Suite security advisories](https://www.feranor.com/pqc/advisories): The advisories published once a vulnerability is fixed, how to report one to security@feranor.com, the response targets, and the Cyber Resilience Act notifications. Machine-readable advisories in CSAF 2.0, Feranor being a CSAF provider: https://www.feranor.com/.well-known/csaf/provider-metadata.json - [Feranor PQC Suite JSON Schemas](https://www.feranor.com/pqc/schemas/audit-record.schema.json): JSON Schema 2020-12 contracts of the JSON the suite writes, for SIEMs and scripts: the sidecar's audit journal (audit-record.schema.json), and fpqc's reports under https://www.feranor.com/pqc/schemas/ (fpqc-info, fpqc-keys-list, fpqc-inspect, fpqc-signature-report, fpqc-audit-verify, fpqc-support-bundle, fpqc-reencrypt-journal, each .schema.json). - [Krachen](https://www.feranor.com/#solutions): A high-performance automated trading platform built on DHG. Unified backtesting, paper trading, and live execution on one event-driven core, with advanced risk controls, multi-broker connectivity, and fully auditable execution trails. - [FeranorBot](https://www.feranor.com/bot): Feranor's web crawler, behind the public resilience check and the MCP tool. Explains what it does, how it handles robots.txt, and how to identify or block it. ## Consulting - [Consulting Services](https://www.feranor.com/#presentation): Architecture and governance for distributed systems. We work with teams facing scaling complexity, unclear ownership, or the challenge of governing AI agents in production. - [Sovereign Infrastructure](https://www.feranor.com/#presentation): Architecture for sovereign, on-premise infrastructure in regulated contexts — aligned with France's digital sovereignty objectives (France 2030). ## DHG Framework - [Distributed Hive Governance](https://www.feranor.com/#solutions): A governance framework for taming complexity in distributed systems and AI-driven engineering. Defines how ownership, standards, and accountability are structured so systems stay maintainable as they scale. ## Web Tools Free, human-facing tools. No account required. - [Public Resilience Check](https://www.feranor.com/check): Free check of a domain's public-facing TLS certificate, security headers, DNS redundancy, and response time. Returns a score measured only on what could be read, plus every individual finding. ## MCP Server Feranor exposes its tools to AI agents through a single MCP server. Agents should connect once and discover the tool catalogue through `tools/list`. - Endpoint: `https://www.feranor.com/mcp` - Transport: streamable HTTP - Server card: `https://www.feranor.com/.well-known/mcp.json` - Registry: `com.feranor/resilience` - Documentation: [MCP server documentation](https://www.feranor.com/tools/mcp) - Payment: x402, `exact` scheme, USDC on Base (`eip155:8453`) - Authentication: none. No signup, no API key, no account. - Always free: `initialize`, `tools/list`, and any tool marked Free below. - Per-tool pricing is also published in each tool's `description` and in its `_meta["x-x402"]` block, so it is available before committing to a call. ### Tool catalogue - `text_scan_v1` (Free): Scan a text string for hidden characters. Input: one text string. Output: a risk score, every flagged character with its category and severity, detected homoglyphs, and whether the text is normalized (NFC). Tells you what is wrong in the text, not a cleaned version of it. Use it to check a document, a copy-pasted string, or a domain name before trusting it. - `text_purge_v1` ($0.01 per call): Clean a text string of hidden characters. Input: one text string. Output: the cleaned text, a count of characters removed and homoglyphs replaced, and a before-and-after risk comparison. Removes zero-width characters, variation selectors, tag characters, and bidi controls. Replaces Cyrillic and Greek homoglyphs with their Latin equivalent. Normalizes the result to NFC. Use it after `text_scan_v1` to fix what was flagged, or directly if you just want a clean string back. - `domain_check_score_v1` (Free): Triage score for a single domain. Input: one domain name. Output: overall score out of 100, per-category scores, and how many findings each category raised. Tells you which categories are weak and how many issues they hold, but not what the issues are. Use it to rank a list of domains or to decide whether the full report is worth pulling. - `domain_check_score_batch_v1` (Free): Triage scores for up to 100 domains in one call. Input: an array of 1 to 100 domain names. Output: one score summary per distinct domain, with per-category scores and finding counts, never the findings themselves. Duplicates are removed. An unreachable domain is returned with its own error rather than failing the batch. Use it to rank a portfolio for free, then pull `domain_check_batch_v1` on the ones that need attention. - `domain_check_v1` ($0.01 per call): Full report for a single domain. Input: one domain name. Output: the same score plus every individual finding across TLS certificate, security headers, DNS redundancy, and response time, with a prioritised remediation order. Scoring counts only what could actually be read. Built for repeated, unattended calls rather than a single manual check. Free single-domain equivalent for humans: https://www.feranor.com/check - `domain_check_batch_v1` ($0.01 per domain, dropping to $0.005 from 100 domains): The same full report for up to 100 domains in one call, with one payment for the whole batch instead of one per domain. Input: an array of 1 to 100 domain names. Output: one entry per distinct domain. Volume tiers: $0.01 for 1, $0.008 from 2, $0.007 from 10, $0.006 from 50, $0.005 from 100. Duplicates are removed before billing. A domain that cannot be reached is returned with its own error rather than failing the batch, and it is still billed, because the crawl was attempted. Use it to audit a portfolio, rank a list of vendors, or re-check a fleet after a config rollout. For a single domain, `domain_check_v1` costs the same and is simpler. ## Book - [Architecting the End of Chaos](https://www.feranor.com/dhg): The complete DHG framework across 23 chapters — from the mathematics of system chaos to governing autonomous AI agents with explicit scopes and human checkpoints. ## Blog - [Post-quantum encryption and distributed systems](https://www.feranor.com/blog): Articles on post-quantum encryption (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, hybrid schemes), migrating at the ANSSI profile, NIS2, DORA and the Cyber Resilience Act, using Feranor PQC Suite, and governing distributed systems with DHG.
