Which US Federal Post-Quantum Deadline Binds You
Federal post-quantum policy now sets dates, not intentions. Five June 2026 documents assign different deadlines to different system classes. Here is how to find…
Building a Crypto Inventory That Covers the Whole Estate
Cryptography hides in places no network scanner reaches. A domain-by-domain guide to finding it, and to what every inventory record has to say once…
Pick One Layer: Choosing the PQC Migration That Protects Most
Nested encryption composes in the defender's favor. One quantum-safe confidentiality layer protects the payload underneath it, which makes the first migration decision a choosing…
The Real Size of a Post-Quantum Migration
One published program plan for a post-quantum migration runs to more than 120,000 scheduled tasks. Here is where the small estimate loses the work.
What a CBOM Scoping Exercise Finds Inside One Mobile Banking Payment
A payment from a phone crosses up to nine institutional boundaries. Only some of them are yours to inventory. Here is how a CBOM…
Where Telecom Operators Should Start
The algorithms are settled. What stops most carriers is that nobody can yet read a cryptographic inventory and say which findings matter first.
Rethinking the CBOM
Complete cryptographic inventory is a mirage. A Minimum Viable CBOM maps trust boundaries first, records what you don't know, and produces migration decisions instead…
Scoping a Quantum Readiness Assessment Around Four Decisions
Most guidance describes a quantum readiness assessment from the inventory up. Scoping it from the four decisions it has to unlock keeps it from…
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…
