A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines
6 Apr 2026
My position on the urgency of rolling out quantum-resistant cryptography has changed compared to just a few months ago. You might have heard this privately from me in the past weeks, but it’s time to signal and justify this change of mind publicly.
