Post-Quantum OpenPGP Arrives: RFC 9980, the GnuPG Split, and the Signature Gap
The IETF has standardized ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA for OpenPGP, with hybrid-only lattice cryptography and a v4 compatibility carve-out. The bigger story is the implementation split that decides whether any of it interoperates.

Forescout Data: PQC Adoption Growing Fast, but 90% of Systems Still Exposed
Forescout's internet-wide scan of 160 million SSH hosts finds PQC-capable servers growing fast but still covering barely 12% of the total. OT and medical devices trail far behind, with no asset class on track for full migration by 2029.

OP_CHECKSHRINCS: Blockstream’s Stateful Bet on a Hash-Based Post-Quantum Bitcoin
Blockstream Research wants Bitcoin's quantum defense built from the hash function it already trusts. The signatures are startlingly small, the statefulness trade is real, and the deployable numbers tell a more careful story than the 324-byte headline.
