The move to post-quantum cryptography, as it happens
A new era in security is starting. Standards are landing, governments are setting deadlines, and the questions companies get asked are changing. We track it here.

An AI found a weakness in a post-quantum candidate. The standards you use are fine.
A signature scheme called HAWK, one of the candidates NIST is still evaluating, was weakened by an attack an AI model discovered. The algorithms already finalized and being deployed, ML-KEM and ML-DSA, are not affected.

The post-quantum transition has a meeting point: Amsterdam, this December
The PKI Consortium’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Conference runs December 1–3, 2026 in Amsterdam. It is free, open to anyone, and available online. Here is what it is and how to get in.

The government is starting to quantum-proof its ID cards
NIST has begun rewriting the standard behind federal smart-card IDs so a future quantum computer cannot forge a login, or unlock a secret it quietly recorded today.

The government made a list of what "quantum-safe" products look like
CISA has named the categories of technology, from cloud to networking, that should already support the new post-quantum encryption standards, so buyers know what to look for.

The US put post-quantum cryptography on the clock
A June 2026 executive order sets hard federal deadlines for the move to quantum-safe encryption, and it reaches government contractors, not just agencies. Here is what it actually says.

The quantum clock has already started
A quantum computer that breaks today’s encryption does not exist yet. That has not stopped the damage from beginning, or governments from setting deadlines.
