Evaluating third-party readiness for post-quantum cryptography – a guide published by the Australian Signals Directorate: From the guidelines:“This publication provides a structured set of questions organisations can use to assess how prepared their vendors are for the transition to PQC. In this publication, the term ‘vendor’ refers to third-party suppliers of products or services. It… Read more »

An online guest article by Robert Frank (DigiCert) From the article (access might require registering for a newsletter):“A robust plan won’t revolutionize cryptography overnight. A configuration that allows only quantum-secure methods would break compatibility with the vast majority of existing connections. The transition is therefore taking place in stages, starting with confidentiality—that is, TLS and… Read more »

Atricle was published in IB magazine. From the article “Hybrid Cryptography in Quantum-Secure PKI” by Manon de Vries et al. (starting on page 36):“Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) forms the backbone of digital trust. Virtually every form of digital security—from TLS connections to digital signatures—relies on cryptographic keys whose authenticity (the link between cryptographic keys and… Read more »

Which is reported here: https://classic.mceliece.org/iso.html From the Classic McEliece pages:“ISO standardized Classic McEliece in June 2026. The ISO standard is compatible with the official specification from the Classic McEliece team.” The actual standard by ISO can be found here (behind a paywall):https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/en/#iso:std:iso-iec:18033:-2:ed-1:v1:amd:2:v1:en An article with more information by TU Eindhoven (NL) on the contribution by… Read more »

Deutsche Telekom announced: From the announcement:“Deutsche Telekom and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology are pleased to announce that they have been awarded two new Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs) under the European Commission’s programme on quantum technologies. Deutsche Telekom will coordinate PETRUS2, while AIT will coordinate HarmoniQCI, two complementary projects supporting the development, standardisation,… Read more »

The “Why” is explained by Bas Westerbaan and Christopher Patton from Cloudflare. From the blogpost:“[…] ML-DSA, the best all-around post-quantum signature scheme standardized today, has its downsides: it’s much larger on the wire, and many tricks we were able to perform with RSA and ECC simply cannot be done with ML-DSA. There are better post-quantum… Read more »

By PCSI (Partnership for Cyber Security Coalition) From the report:“Within PCSI, the PQC workgroup (7 organizations cooperating on PQC migration) joined forces to gain experience making a cryptographic inventory, an important step in the PQC migration. Today we dive into the detailed, technical, aspects of that journey. In another blog we cover our high-level findings,… Read more »
