While NIST has standardized post-quantum cryptography PQC, practical, deployable integration ...

Securing Elliptic Curve Cryptocurrencies against Quantum Vulnerabilities: Resource Estimates and Mitigations

This whitepaper seeks to elucidate implications that the capabilities of developing quantum architectures have on blockchain vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies. First, we provide new resource estimates for breaking the 256-bit Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem, the core of modern...

Google Sets 2029 Deadline as Quantum Computers Threaten Encryption

Google fast-tracks post-quantum cryptography with a 2029 deadline as researchers warn quantum computers could break current encryption sooner than expected...

ThreatsDay Bulletin: PQC Push, AI Vuln Hunting, Pirated Traps, Phishing Kits & 20 More Stories

Some weeks in security feel loud. This one feels sneaky. Less big dramatic fireworks, more of that slow creeping sense that too many people are getting way too comfortable abusing things they probably shouldn’t even be touching. There’s a little bit of everything in this one, too. Weird delivery...

CVE-2026-3503

Protection mechanism failure in wolfCrypt post-quantum implementations ML-KEM and ML-DSA in wolfSSL on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers allows a physical attacker to compromise key material and/or cryptographic outcomes via induced transient faults that corrupt or redirect seed/pointer values during...

Benchmarking Post-Quantum Cryptography on Resource-Constrained IoT Devices: ML-KEM and ML-DSA on ARM Cortex-M0+

The migration to post-quantum cryptography is urgent for Internet of Things devices with 10-20 year lifespans, yet no systematic benchmarks exist for the finalised NIST standards on the most constrained 32-bit processor class. This paper presents the first isolated algorithm-level benchmarks of...

Layered Performance Analysis of TLS 1.3 Handshakes: Classical, Hybrid, and Pure Post-Quantum Key Exchange

In this paper, we present a laboratory study focused on the impact of post-quantum cryptography PQC algorithms on multiple layers of stateful HTTP over TLS transactions: the TCP handshake, the intermediate TCP-TLS layer, the TLS handshake, the intermediate TLS layer, and the HTTP application laye...

Post-Quantum Federated Learning: Secure and Scalable Threat Intelligence for Collaborative Cyber Defense

Collaborative threat intelligence via federated learning FL faces critical risks from quantum computing, which can compromise classical encryption methods. This study proposes a quantum-secure FL framework using post-quantum cryptography PQC to protect cross-organizational data sharing. We expose...

PQC-LEO: An Evaluation Framework for Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms

Advances in quantum computing threaten digital communication security by undermining the foundations of current public-key cryptography through Shor's quantum algorithm. This has driven the development of Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC, a new set of algorithms resistant to quantum attacks. While...

Preparing for the Quantum Era: Post-Quantum Cryptography Webinar for Security Leaders

Most organizations assume encrypted data is safe. But many attackers are already preparing for a future where today’s encryption can be broken. Instead of trying to decrypt information now, they are collecting encrypted data and storing it so it can be decrypted later using quantum computers. Thi...

Google Develops Merkle Tree Certificates to Enable Quantum-Resistant HTTPS in Chrome

Google has announced a new program in its Chrome browser to ensure that HTTPS certificates are secure against the future risk posed by quantum computers. "To ensure the scalability and efficiency of the ecosystem, Chrome has no immediate plan to add traditional X.509 certificates containing...

Expert Recommends: Prepare for PQC Right Now

Introduction: Steal It Today, Break It in a Decade Digital evolution is unstoppable, and though the pace may vary, things tend to fall into place sooner rather than later. That, of course, applies to adversaries as well. The rise of ransomware and cyber extortion generated funding for a complex a...

When Security Meets Usability: An Empirical Investigation of Post-Quantum Cryptography APIs

Advances in quantum computing increasingly threaten the security and privacy of data protected by current cryptosystems, particularly those relying on public-key cryptography. In response, the international cybersecurity community has prioritized the implementation of Post-Quantum Cryptography PQ...

Practical Quantum Tokens: Challenges and Perspectives

The concept of quantum tokens dates back alongside quantum cryptography to Stephen Wiesner's seminal work in 19831. Already this initial work proposes society-relevant applications such as secure quantum banknotes, which can be exchanged between a bank and a customer. This quantum currency is bas...

Quantum Encryption Resilience Score (QERS) for MQTT, HTTP, and HTTPS under Post-Quantum Cryptography in Computer, IoT, and IIoT Systems

Post-quantum cryptography PQC introduces significant computational and communication overhead, which poses challenges for resource-constrained computer systems, Internet of Things IoT, and Industrial IoT IIoT devices. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the Quantum Encryption...
