Dark Reading
NIST may be on the brink of revealing which post-quantum computing encryption algorithms it is endorsing, solidifying commercial developments like QuProtect.

In the next 10 years, public-key encryption needs to be replaced by post-quantum techniques that can stand up to the new challenges.

Biden's executive order pushes new NIST quantum-cryptography standards and directs federal government to move toward quantum-resistant cybersecurity.
Bleeping Computer
President Joe Biden signed a national security memorandum (NSM) on Thursday asking government agencies to implement a set of measures that would mitigate risks posed by quantum computers to US national cyber security. [...]
CISA advisories
CISA, the Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD’s ACSC) and the National Security Agency (NSA) released joint guidance and an accompanying quick-reference list to help organizations assess vendor readiness for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). As quantum computing advances, widely used public-key cryptography will become vulnerable to compromise from cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs). To protect their systems and data, organizations must plan for and transition to PQC—which includes algorithms capable of withstanding both classical computing and quantum-enabled threats—before CRQCs become available. Many organizations rely on third-party vendors for managed services, cloud capabilities, and other cryptography-dependent products and services. Cryptography is also embedded in systems and devices that are difficult to update, tied to long asset lifecycles, and require vendor support or replacement—such as industrial control systems and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Reliance on vendors means that effective PQC transition depends on vendor readiness, and early, structured engagement with these vendors is critical to planning efforts. Organizations can use the vendor-neutral questions outlined in this guidance to determine whether a vendor understands quantum-related risks, maintains transparency over its cryptographic implementations, and supports a secure, cost-effective and timely transition to PQC.

A study of 2.5 million devices across 50 healthcare organization suggests the sector has a long way to go in getting ready for the post-quantum cryptography era.

Passkeys eliminate many password-based attacks, but researchers have documented 39 methods for compromising authentication built around them. Token explains how attackers can abuse authentication prompts, synced credentials, enrollment, recovery, and other trust boundaries without breaking FIDO2 cryptography. [...]
The Hacker News
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have demonstrated an attack that revives expired Visa contactless credit cards for real in-store purchases by rewriting the expiration date a point-of-sale (POS) terminal reads over near-field communication (NFC), without breaking any of the card's cryptography. The attack, which the researchers named "Zombie Card," requires physical

Coinspect has identified CryptoJS.lib.WordArray.random() as the weak random number generator behind the Ill Bloom wallet drains. Introduced in the JavaScript cryptography library 12 years ago, the function supplied weak entropy that affected wallet apps used to generate recovery phrases. Coinspect's on-chain analysis puts the measured theft across two sweeps since late May at a lower bound of

President Trump signed an executive order on June 22 setting hard deadlines for federal agencies to move high-value assets and high-impact systems to post-quantum cryptography. Key establishment must move by December 31, 2030; digital signatures by December 31, 2031. EO 14409 leaves national security systems on a separate track. The deadlines matter because of a threat that does not
