From the paper:“Advances in quantum computing have led the research community to develop new post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. While most efforts have focused on designing and analyzing the security of these algorithms, their integration into real-world systems demands a multi-layer performance analysis to identify and mitigate potential bottlenecks. Aligned with NIST’s post-quantum transition strategy, this work… Read more »
From the RFC page/proposal:“This document specifies JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) and CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) serializations for the Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard (ML-DSA), a Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) digital signature scheme defined in US NIST FIPS 204.”

And is to send quantum keys in 2026 From the corresponding project page:“The ‘Quantum Key Distribution from a CubeSat to the Ground (QUBE II)’ consortium aims to develop a microsatellite capable of performing a complete quantum key exchange. The platform consists of low-cost microsatellites, known as CubeSats, which are equipped with the necessary technological components… Read more »
A growing share of leading quantum experts now believe cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) could arrive within the next five to 10 years, as explained by Dr. Michele Mosca and Marco Piani: From the blog post:“Using the operational definition of a CRQC as one capable ofbreaking RSA-2048 in less than 24 hours, we asked 26… Read more »
A joint undertaking of several EU-funded PQC projects From the webpage of the new projects cluster:“The SPQR cluster was established through collaboration between the QUBIP and PQ-REACT EU projects, with the shared goal of strengthening the European Union’s preparedness for the post-quantum cryptography era. It now brings together a growing number of European projects, including… Read more »
A paper that shows how elliptic-curve-based cryptography becomes increasingly vulnerable by QCs From the paper’s abstract:“Solving the Discrete Logarithm problem on the group of points of an elliptic curve is one of the major cryptographic applications of Shor’s algorithm. However, current estimates for the number of qubits required remain relatively high, and notably, higher than… Read more »

DFG funds new PQC project From the webpage:“Everything is up and running as usual: banking apps, Wi-Fi, charging stations for electric cars. But what would happen if a quantum computer suddenly rendered all encryption methods commonly used today ineffective? A research alliance composed of Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (h_da), Hochschule RheinMain – University of… Read more »
