The Quantum-Safe Sentinel #6 – March 2026

🏴☠️This month, regarding the quantum threat, we’ll talk about a new algorithm that may widely overtake Shor’s. While the news remains unreliable, the risk of sudden progress in that field has to be kept in mind.

🛡️PQC reaches a key inflection point, but while breakthroughs are important, there are still blind spots to address.

⚛️ Regarding Quantum Cryptography and QKD, we’ll see that initiatives are becoming global and opening a new era in this field.

➡️ Awareness Topic of the Month — We focus on HSMs and PKI, now emerging as some of the most critical cryptographic assets at risk. This edition introduces a Quantum Exposure Map to help identify and prioritize these vulnerabilities.
