01 02 Quantum Computing and the Future of Privacy | Richard T. Carback III (Zcash, Blockspäti Berlin) — by Quip Network youtube.comTalk video of Richard T. Carback III on quantum computing, privacy, and why Zcash folks keep glancing at post-quantum crypto.03 Quantum-safe migration gets sold as a rewrite, this op-ed argues for phased upgrades that fit existing infrastructure.04 How do ESP32s get boot entropy when RNG, radio bursts, and SRAM are all shaky, and does an 'entropy capsule' help cold starts?05 Adaptor Signatures Meet BLS: Enabling Efficient Blockchain Applications with Unique Adaptor Signatures eprint.iacr.orgAdaptor signatures, now for BLS too, so the usual atomic-swap and ZK-contingent-payment tricks can stop special-casing Schnorr.06 Obfuscated reversible circuits can do CCA2 encryption, and even leak into FE/HE territory if you squint hard enough.07 FINMA tells Swiss banks to inventory crypto and get quantum-safe, after finding most have no migration roadmaps.08 ArXiv paper on image encryption via E91 keys, Lorenz chaos, and reservoir computing, with the usual NPCR/UACI ritual.09 Windows Insider builds ship SymCrypt SHA-3 and ML-KEM with Lean-checked Rust proofs, because proof debt is now product work.10 Paper on self-tuning ring-oscillator TRNGs and long-term stability, with NIST tests, because entropy still needs babysitting.11 ECB tells banks to inventory crypto and get post-quantum ready, with AI cyber threats as the warm-up act.12 Report on an attested TLS relay flaw hitting WhatsApp and Cocos AI, proof that handshakes still cosplay as security.13 Ammolite Security and Myntex Showcase Post-Quantum Secure Communications at NATO SHINE 2025 — by Myntex Inc youtu.beYouTube video of Myntex/Ammolite’s NATO SHINE 2025 demo of post-quantum secure comms, because quantum fear sells hardware.14 Paper tests watermark-like logit perturbations against black-box LLM theft, then measures how much utility gets shaved off.15 Can an LLM write EasyCrypt proofs, and this repo ships the MCP workflow, benchmarks, and replay logs to find out.16 Front-running meets a power-weighted lottery here, and the paper claims that makes sandwiching uneconomic.17 A post-quantum migration pitch that, sensibly, starts with inventory and CBOMs instead of swapping algorithms in a panic.18 FIPS 140 freezes the crypto stack in amber, so you inherit old, opaque code and the bugs in its HSM plumbing.19 Survey of LLM watermarking, from biased sampling to adaptive-removal attacks, because even text wants DRM.20 Why should a small business care about PQC now? An intro to harvest-now-decrypt-later, crypto-agility, and vendor checklists.21 HashiCorp's PQC prep guide says inventory your crypto now, or harvest-now-decrypt-later will do it for you.22 What if digital credentials were designed around verifier steps, not issuer wishful thinking?23 Research prototype for EasyCrypt lemma proofs, using an MCP agent to spit out admit-free scripts and replay-check them.24 From Prevention to Resilience: Reducing What Attackers Can Reach in a Zero-Trust World securityreviewmag.comWhat if zero trust meant shrinking the blast radius, with passwordless, VMI, CBOMs, and a staged PQC migration?25 [CFRG] RG Last Call on draft-irtf-cfrg-hybrid-kems-12 and draft-irtf-cfrg-concrete-hybrid-kems-04 mailarchive.ietf.orgIs the hybrid KEM draft actually ready, or are we still bikeshedding the framework and its concrete instantiation?26 SEALSQ and Quobly Sign $5 Million Commercial Agreement to Integrate Post-Quantum Security into Next-Generation Silicon Quantum Computing Platforms crweworld.comA $5M press-release handshake to bolt post-quantum root-of-trust hardware onto silicon quantum computers.27 An interview with Claude Crépau, less textbook ZK history, more the quantum teleportation and MPC bits people skip.28 FIPS 140-3 paperwork stops at validation records; the real risk hides in bootloaders, vendor forks, and shipped firmware.29 SEALSQ and Quobly Sign $5 Million Commercial Agreement to Integrate Post-Quantum Security into Next-Generation Silicon Quantum Computing Platforms globenewswire.comPress release on a $5M deal to bolt PQ security onto Quobly's silicon quantum stack, because quantum needs more quantum.30 Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast | Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast - Episode 165 cybersecurityawesomeness.comEpisode 165 hits post-quantum readiness, with the usual harvest-now-decrypt-later panic and a crypto-agility checklist.
