The Diligence Questions Behind Quantum Commercialization Claims
Quantum ventures attract two bad reflexes: reflexive dismissal and reflexive enthusiasm. Both skip the same checks. Here is what an investor can actually verify…
What Quantum Sovereignty Means, Layer by Layer
Quantum sovereignty is six separate control questions wearing one word. Here is what each layer means for a security architecture, and which ones you…
What a CBOM Is and What It Is For
A CBOM is a machine-readable list of the cryptography inside a system. Here is what it records, the questions it answers, and the four…
How to Perform a Cryptographic Inventory: A Discovery Method Field Guide
Nine discovery methods, what each one actually finds, where each one goes blind, and how to layer them so one tool's gap is another…
The Machine That Breaks Encryption Won’t Be One Chip
Threat assessments still track one qubit count on one processor. The machine that matters for cryptography looks more like a data center than a…
Why You Can’t Just Drop In Post-Quantum Cryptography
The algorithms are standardized. The plumbing around them was sized for 32-byte keys. Here is where post-quantum objects break real infrastructure, and what to…
Quantum Repeaters: What an Architect Needs to Know Before the Sales Call
A quantum repeater is not an amplifier. It is a machine that manufactures entanglement in segments and stitches them together. Here is how it…
Why Telecom PQC Migration Is Harder Than Enterprise Migration
Operators face two problems enterprises mostly don't: most of their cryptography is written by someone else, and every cryptographic relationship has a counterparty they…
The DiVincenzo Criteria and What They Screen Out
David DiVincenzo's seven requirements were written to stop a specific over-claim. A quarter-century later they still screen architectures, and they still refuse to rank…
Entanglement-as-a-Service: What Is Actually Being Sold
Entanglement can be delivered on demand, but it cannot be copied, amplified, or stored for long. Here is what an EaaS offer contains and…
