PQC-Enhanced QKD Networks: A Layered Approach

We present a layered and modular network architecture that combines Quantum Key Distribution QKD and Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC to provide scalable end-to-end security across long distance multi-hop, trusted-node quantum networks. To ensure interoperability and efficient practical deployment,...

Google Wants to Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography by 2029

Google says that it will fully transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2029. I think this is a good move, not because I think we will have a useful quantum computer anywhere near that year, but because crypto-agility is always a good thing. Slashdot thread...

Defending Encryption in the Post Quantum Era

Post-quantum cryptography explained, risks of quantum attacks, and steps to secure data, systems, and infrastructure for a quantum-resilient…...

Quantum-Safe Code Auditing: LLM-Assisted Static Analysis and Quantum-Aware Risk Scoring for Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration

The impending arrival of cryptographically relevant quantum computers CRQCs threatens the security foundations of modern software: Shor's algorithm breaks RSA, ECDSA, ECDH, and Diffie-Hellman, while Grover's algorithm reduces the effective security of symmetric and hash-based schemes. Despite NIS...

Inventors of Quantum Cryptography Win Turing Award

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have won the 2026 Turing Award for inventing quantum cryptography. I am incredibly pleased to see them get this recognition. I have always thought the technology to be fantastic, even though I think it's largely unnecessary. I wrote up my thoughts back in 2008,...

Empowering Mobile Networks Security Resilience by Using Post-Quantum Cryptography

The transition to a cloud-native 5G Service-Based Architecture SBA improves scalability but exposes control-plane signaling to emerging quantum threats, including Harvest-Now, Decrypt-Later HNDL attacks. 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...
