NIST's 2026 migration milestone has passed, yet only 13 percent of organisations have moved post-quantum cryptography into production and 60 percent have not meaningfully started. The gap exists becau
Quantum computational advantage means a quantum machine beats the best classical method on one narrow benchmark. It does not break encryption. Breaking public-key cryptography needs a fault-tolerant m
NIST's three 2024 standards do different jobs. FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) establishes shared secrets and never signs. FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) is the primary digital signature standard, and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA) is a co
Regulated finance must make its audit record post-quantum now, not at Q-Day. DORA has applied since January 2025 and records are retained for years, so signatures written today must resist quantum att
Crypto-agility is designing an AI system to swap cryptographic algorithms without re-architecting it. Name the algorithm in each signed record so it self-describes, verify by that identifier, and a br
Hybrid cryptography runs a classical and a post-quantum algorithm together during the migration, so a record stays secure if either one is broken. Standards bodies recommend it because a flaw in a you
No, not noticeably. Post-quantum signatures like ML-DSA and SLH-DSA are larger and modestly slower than classical schemes, but an AI audit ledger signs consequential decisions rather than every token,
Post-quantum signatures matter more because a decrypted secret ages into irrelevance, while a forged signature on a decision record voids the evidentiary value of the entire audit trail. The ledger mu
Nobody can name the year a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives, and estimates diverge widely. Today's noisy machines are far from the stable logical qubits Shor needs, but long-lived d
Test your AI against ten binary checks: cryptographic inventory, post-quantum signatures, hybrid transition, crypto-agility, long-lived record protection, key custody, offline verifiability, no vendor
Evidence outlives its cryptography when verification never depends on a single living scheme. Post-quantum signatures under FIPS 204 and 205 seal a hash-chained ledger, algorithm identifiers record wh
Q-Day is the day a quantum computer can break today's public-key cryptography. You prepare an AI system by inventorying your cryptography, signing new records with post-quantum signatures, running hyb
