Inside the DoW Post-Quantum Strategy: The Defense Half of Trump’s PQC Mandate
Released a day after two quantum executive orders, the Pentagon's first PQC strategy covers the National Security Systems that EO 14412 carves out. The same 2030 and 2031 dates appear in both, but they don't mean the same thing.

Trump Signs PQC Executive Order with Hard 2030 and 2031 Deadlines for Federal Migration
Executive Order sets hard federal PQC migration deadlines for 2030 and 2031, extends compliance to contractors through FAR amendments, and orders CISA to define cryptographic bill of materials standards. The timeline compression I predicted a month ago is now signed policy.

Quantum Snake Oil Is Flooding the News Cycle — and the Industry Is Letting It Happen
Three extraordinary quantum claims in two weeks, none peer-reviewed, all tied to commercial events. The quantum industry's credibility problem is accelerating, and the people paying the price are the enterprises trying to make real migration decisions.

France’s ANSSI Will Block PQC-Free Products From Certification Starting 2027
ANSSI will stop certifying security products without post-quantum cryptography from 2027. France's de facto procurement gate mirrors the CNSA 2.0 timeline and adds regulatory pressure for vendors across Europe's supply chain.

NIST Begins Wiring Post-Quantum Cryptography Into Federal PIV Credentials
NIST published working drafts that would add ML-DSA and ML-KEM support to the federal Personal Identity Verification standards. The dual-stack approach preserves existing classical credentials while adding PQC key references, certificate containers, and data objects for incremental deployment.

PQC Migration Framework v2.0 Released: What Changed, Why It Matters, and a Note on Attribution
The PQC migration problem shifted from "how do we prepare?" to "how do we deploy?" between March and June 2026. Version 2.0 of the Applied Quantum PQC Migration Framework responds with the operational depth that no other published methodology provides.

Let’s Encrypt Commits to Merkle Tree Certificates for Post-Quantum HTTPS
The world's largest certificate authority has committed to Merkle Tree Certificates as its post-quantum path. With 54% of all public TLS certificates, Let's Encrypt's decision effectively sets the migration timeline for the entire web.

Bernstein Demonstrates ML-DSA Key Recovery in Under One Second, Argues Solo Deployment Damages Security
Daniel J. Bernstein provides the first working attack demos against ML-DSA implementation bugs, recovers equivalent secret keys in under one second, and builds a quantitative case that solo ML-DSA deployment damages security compared to hybrid Ed25519+ML-DSA.

Google’s Secret Quantum Circuits for Breaking ECC Reproduced and Improved in Two Months
A French researcher independently matched Google's secret quantum circuits for breaking elliptic curve cryptography, then improved the gate count. Google's Craig Gidney says the zero-knowledge approach failed and open publication should resume.

ETH Zurich’s “Perfect Randomness”: What Actually Happened
A new preprint series claims to break every major lattice-based NIST PQC standard via an improved CDPR attack. The claim has critical technical gaps that the lattice cryptography community will need to resolve.

NIST Narrows the Field: Nine Post-Quantum Signature Candidates Advance to the Third Round
NIST just narrowed 14 post-quantum signature candidates to nine. The survivors span four distinct mathematical families, from isogeny-based compact signatures to multivariate schemes under active cryptanalytic fire. Here's what each candidate is, why NIST kept it, and what this means for your PQC migration planning.

India Finalizes Quantum-Safe Roadmap: CII Migration by 2029, Testing Labs by 2026
India's finalized quantum-safe roadmap adds Preferential Market Access mandates, a detailed four-level certification framework, and sector-specific technology guidance. The timelines hold — but the execution gap just got harder to ignore.

A Viral Paper Claims Lattice-Based PQC Has “Fundamental Limitations” — The Arguments Are Old and the Conclusion Is Wrong
A Seoul National University paper arguing lattice-based cryptography has "fundamental limitations" is generating alarming headlines. The theoretical points are valid but well-known. What the paper actually demonstrates is why PQC migration should accelerate, not stall.

IonQ’s Q-Day Claim: What the Earnings Call Actually Said vs. the Panic It’s Feeding
IonQ's CEO told investors the company will reach the logical qubit count to "challenge RSA-2048" by 2028–2029. That's not the same as breaking encryption, and the Q-FUD machine is already running at full speed.
