Quantum Open Architecture and the Case for Modularity
Modular quantum computers are now real purchases. The decision that matters is not open versus closed, but where the interfaces go and who is…
When Geopolitics Becomes Architecture
Export controls now trigger on qubit count and gate error rate together. Sovereignty has moved out of the policy brief and into the bill…
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…
Why Countries Disagree About QKD
The NSA will not certify QKD for national security use. China runs a 4,600 km quantum network. Both are current positions. Here is the…
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…
What Quantum Systems Integration Actually Involves
Open architecture turned the quantum computer into a set of parts. Someone still has to assemble them and connect the result to the infrastructure…
The Four Axes Where National PQC Requirements Diverge
Approved algorithm lists are the first of four axes on which national post-quantum requirements diverge. The other three are harder to abstract away.
When a Full Cryptographic Inventory Isn’t Possible
Enterprise-wide crypto discovery stalls in predictable places. Here is how to scope an inventory you can finish, and how to make the unexamined remainder…
Where Post-Quantum Cryptography and Quantum AI Actually Meet
Four different technologies share the label 'quantum AI'. Only one of them is already breaking post-quantum implementations, and it is not the quantum one.
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…
