Post-Quantum Cryptography Series
There have been many questions about Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) recently with clients. So, I figured this would be a good topic to explore.

AES-256 and the Post-Quantum Panic: The Rare Cryptographic Algorithm That Isn’t Sweating
Quick Summary: AES-256 is the workhorse of enterprise data encryption at rest. It is not considered impacted by quantum computers or Post-Quantum Cryptography. It is considered quantum-resistant, which means it can withstand attacks from quantum computers / algorithms better than other encryption…

Shor’s Algorithm: The Quantum Computer’s Favorite Way to Ruin RSA’s Day
For decades, modern cryptography has rested on a comforting assumption that factoring really large numbers is hard.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (ML-KEM): The Math
ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism), formerly known as CRYSTALS-Kyber, is the post-quantum key exchange algorithm standardized by National Institute of Standards and Technology as FIPS 203. Its security is based on the difficulty of certain problems in lattice cryptography,…

Post-Quantum Cryptography (2026): Preparing for the End of RSA and ECC
For decades, modern cybersecurity has relied on a handful of cryptographic foundations. Technologies such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) protect everything from online banking and VPNs to software updates and digital signatures. These algorithms have withstood years of scrutiny and…

RSA: The Internet’s Favorite Math Trick (Until Quantum Computers Show Up)
Most people use cryptography every day. They log into websites. They check their bank balances. They send messages. They order things they absolutely do not need from online retailers at 2:00 AM.

Introduction To Quantum Computing: Because Regular Computers Apparently Weren’t Complicated Enough
Disclaimer: I’m not a physicist. This is my attempt to understand quantum computing and the underlying physics, yet keeping it light. I do actually want my traditional audience to read this.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Proving Something Without Revealing Anything
Modern computing systems are built around a strange tradeoff in that proving identity or trust usually requires revealing information. Passwords, account numbers, private keys, medical records, financial history — all of these are routinely exposed simply to verify a claim.
