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.
- banksboard
Are the banks quantum-safe? We checked 44 of them.
Every public server of 44 large banks in the US, the UK, the EU and Switzerland, tested for post-quantum key exchange. 5,031 servers answered; 2,811 are protected. One bank protects every server it runs.
- registrymethod
Sealed commitments: registering an address without giving its key away
An address that has only ever received still hides its public key. Signing a message would reveal it. The registry now reads the address first and, for those, records only a fingerprint of the signature.
- indexmethod
The index now reads how each reserve is actually spent
Four new checks on every reserve: what controls the coins, whether any key ever reused a signature nonce, how fresh the holder’s own disclosure is, and what moving the exposed balance would cost. Ethereum contract wallets are now scored by their signer set.
- indexquantum solvency
Six reserves join the index, and the wrapped bitcoin picture is not good
The Quantum Solvency Index now scores nine reserves and 1.2 million BTC. The new rows are Twenty One Capital, Metaplanet, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, and the bitcoin behind WBTC, cbBTC and Binance-Peg BTC. Two of the three custody reserves are almost entirely behind revealed keys.
- LatticeScanTOKEN2049
LatticeScan is in the NEXUS Top 50 at TOKEN2049 Singapore
TOKEN2049 selected LSCC LLC, the company behind LatticeScan, for the Top 50 of its NEXUS Startup Competition. We will be at Marina Bay Sands on 7 and 8 October, and we want to meet the people who run exchange reserves.
- LatticeScanstandard
Proof of Quantum Solvency: the standard, the registry and the data feed
LatticeScan now publishes an open standard for measuring how much of a crypto reserve is quantum-exposed, a registry where holders commit a post-quantum key before any dispute exists, and a data feed so other sites can show the numbers.
- researchPQC
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.
- NISTidentity
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.
- CISApolicy
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.
- deadlinesus-government
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.
- post-quantumbackground
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.
