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...

Evaluating Future Air Traffic Management Security

The L-Band Digital Aviation Communication System LDACS aims to modernize communications between the aircraft and the tower. Besides digitizing this type of communication, the contributors also focus on protecting them against cyberattacks. There are several proposals regarding LDACS security, and...

Merkle Tree Certificate Post-Quantum PKI for Kubernetes and Cloud-Native 5G/B5G Core

Post-quantum signature schemes such as ML-DSA-65 produce signatures of 3,309 bytes and public keys of 1,952 bytes over 50 times larger than classical Ed25519. In TLS-authenticated environments like Kubernetes control planes and 5G Core networks, where every inter-component connection is mutually...

Explainable PQC: A Layered Interpretive Framework for Post-Quantum Cryptographic Security Assumptions

This paper studies how post-quantum cryptographic PQC security assumptions can be represented and communicated through a structured, layered framework that is useful for technical interpretation but does not replace formal cryptographic proofs. We propose "Explainable PQC,'' an interdisciplinary...

EUVD-2026-18466

The leancrypto library is a cryptographic library that exclusively contains only PQC-resistant cryptographic algorithms. Prior to version 1.7.1, lcx509extractnamesegment casts sizet vlen to uint8t when storing the Common Name CN length. An attacker who crafts a certificate with CN = victim's CN +...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions leancrypto versions prior to 1.7.1 Description The leancrypto library, a cryptographic library focused on post-quantum cryptography, has an issue in the lc x509 extract name segment function. A cast from size t to uint8 t when handling the...

Lean Crypto Library 安全漏洞

Lean Crypto Library is a lightweight quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithm library developed by smuellerDD as an individual project. Versions of Lean Crypto Library prior to 1.7.1 contained security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities stemmed from integer overflows that occurred when the...

The Quantum-Cryptographic Co-Evolution

As quantum computing matures toward the realization of Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers CRQC, global cryptographic infrastructure faces an existential threat. This paper introduces a two-dimensional coordinate system to map the co-evolution of cryptographic resilience x-axis and...

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...

Amazon Linux 2023 : openssl, openssl-devel, openssl-fips-provider-latest (ALAS2023-2026-1522)

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1522 advisory. Issue summary: An OpenSSL TLS 1.3 server may fail to negotiate the expected preferred key exchange group when its key exchange group configuration includes the default by using the 'DEFAULT' keyword...

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,...

The Manipulate-And-Observe Attack on Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum key distribution is often regarded as an unconditionally secure method to exchange a secret key by harnessing fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. Despite the robustness of key exchange, classical post-processing reveals vulnerabilities that an eavesdropper could target. In particula...

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...

Quantum Bit Error Rate Analysis in BB84 Quantum Key Distribution: Measurement, Statistical Estimation, and Eavesdropping Detection

Quantum Key Distribution QKD provides information-theoretic security by exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics. Among QKD protocols, the BB84 scheme remains the most widely adopted for both theoretical research and practical implementation. A critical parameter determining the reliability...
