Quantum Sovereignty
Sovereign Quantum Clouds and National Control
Quantum computing is rapidly shifting from lab prototypes to cloud-based services. Most organizations will access quantum capabilities “as a service” through cloud platforms, rather than owning a quantum computer on-premise. This shift reframes the sovereignty debate. The question is no…

How ECC Became the Easiest Quantum Target
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) will likely fall to quantum computers before RSA does - a cruel irony, since ECC's smaller keys were considered an advantage. Shor's algorithm needs roughly 2,330 logical qubits and 126 billion Toffoli gates to break P-256…
