Secure military communications, cryptography, trusted digital identity infrastructure, cross-domain data exchange, and quantum-safe transition do not form a single market. They form a layered and sovereignty-sensitive capability stack in which different technologies operate under different regulatory regimes, assurance standards, certification thresholds, and degrees of direct military relevance. It then builds a four-layer capability taxonomy covering high-assurance encryption and secure networking, PKI and trusted digital identity, cross-domain security and secure data exchange, and post-quantum or quantum-safe communications.
