About Us
Mission & History
Post-Quantum Cryptography as a Service for Agentic Workloads.
Gondor Data Security protects the world’s most valuable data against quantum-enabled threats while also leveraging those quantum attacks to recover lost Data. Traditional encryption won’t survive the coming wave of quantum computing—so we built a platform that will.
Our systems combine lattice-based cryptography, RLWE protocols, and advanced key rotation with multi-signature authorization and ephemeral key management. The result is distributed, redundant, and quantum-secure storage and communications—built for governments, enterprises, and any organization that demands long-term protection of digital assets and mission-critical infrastructure.
Engineered for resilience and simple adoption, Gondor helps clients meet compliance mandates and stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats. With innovation, integrity, and resilience as our foundation, we’re building the future of secure data in the quantum era.

Founders
Jay Westerdal
CEO
Jay Westerdal is a veteran entrepreneur and domain infrastructure innovator whose work reshaped how the world understands DNS, attribution, and ownership on the internet. He founded DomainTools.com, which transformed raw registration records into actionable intelligence with historic WHOIS, DNS mapping, and attribution tools used by security teams, brand owners, fraud analysts, and investigators worldwide.
Launched in 2002, DomainTools quickly became the de facto standard for domain research—gaining early integration into Google’s OneBox in 2008 and being acquired later that year in a transaction valued at $16–18 million. Jay also created the Domain RoundTable conference, bringing together registry operators, registrars, investors, and security experts to define best practices for the modern global domain ecosystem.
Beyond his companies, Jay has contributed to core internet standards, including work on the EPP protocol (RFC 4930), and remains an active voice in domain policy, data transparency, and internet governance worldwide
Sky Trotter
CTO
Sky Trotter is a pioneering cryptographer and systems architect recognized for advancing blockchain and post-quantum security infrastructure. He co-founded EosBake, the first sidechain deployment framework ever created, laying the foundation for today’s subnet architectures. As Chief Blockchain Architect at EX3, Sky engineered tokenized access systems that transformed event entry and identity verification.
He went on to serve as CINO at W1SE Logistics/W1SE Chain, where he developed blockchain-based supply chain management solutions integrating cryptographic proofs of provenance and real-time logistics tracking. At GhostDrive, he contributed to quantum-secure data solutions, deploying lattice-based encryption at scale to safeguard sensitive data across industries including defense, logistics, and enterprise storage.
With a career spanning sidechains, tokenized access, supply chain, and quantum-secure storage, Sky has consistently pushed the boundaries of cryptography, delivering resilient, scalable systems built to endure in the post-quantum era.
