Trump's Golden Post-Quantum EO(s)

from Security Cryptography Whatever · host Deirdre Connolly, Thomas Ptacek, David Adrian

The dear leader has actually bleated out some not-dumb executive orders (EOs) to accelerate adoption of post-quantum crypto for the US government! This looks to be in response to a flurry of advancements in quantum computing and quantum attack algorithms a few months ago. We cram legalize into our eyeballs— plus, ECDSA.fail!Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZwQpN_F6P8Transcript: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/2026/07/02/trumps-golden-post-quantum-eosLinks:- The EO https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/06/securing-the-nation-against-advanced-cryptographic-attacks/- CNSA2 https://media.defense.gov/2022/Sep/07/2003071836/-1/-1/0/CSI_CNSA_2.0_FAQ_.PDF- https://media.defense.gov/2025/May/30/2003728741/-1/-1/0/CSA_CNSA_2.0_ALGORITHMS.PDF- https://www.ecdsa.fail/- https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/safety-security/cryptography-migration-timeline/- https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-roadmap/- https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/research/neutral-atom-quantum-computers/- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FedRAMP- https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/06/ushering-in-the-next-frontier-of-quantum-innovation/- https://blog.trailofbits.com/2026/04/17/we-beat-googles-zero-knowledge-proof-of-quantum-cryptanalysis/- https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=9861"Security Cryptography Whatever" is hosted by Deirdre Connolly (@durumcrustulum), Thomas Ptacek (@tqbf), and David Adrian (@dadrian)

The Red Room Redacted Information Security The show where red team stories from around the world are explored by the guys at Redacted Information Security, and new techniques and tools are pulled apart and discussed. Explicit JumboSet JumboSetLLC A group of buddies talking sports, gambling, a little tournament they have called the belt, and whatever else comes to mind. Tune in to meet the JumboSet Explicit Group Chat Chris "Drama" Pfaff, Dee Murthy & Anand Murthy This is a show where friends – hilarious, opinionated friends who happen to be successful entrepreneurs, investors & operators – comment on all things business, culture, current events and whatever the hell else they want to talk about. From Kanye to Kavanaugh, IPOs to DUIs, no topic is off-limits…as long as hosts Chris "Drama" Pfaff, Dee Murthy and Anand Murthy have something to say about it. In a world of fake news, poor judgment, and overall bad decision-making, we're here to give you the facts…or at least, the facts as we see them. @drama @deemurthy @anandmurthy Explicit Security Voices Security Voices There are great stories in the security industry that aren’t being told. Fascinating people who fly below the radar and aren’t being heard. We know because we encounter them in hallways, hotel lobbies and just about everywhere imaginable across the globe. Everytime we think “I wish I had recorded that conversation so that everyone could hear it…” Our goal with Security Voices is to provide a place for clear-headed dialogue with great people that’s unencumbered by the hyperbole and shouting that’s far too common in security circles. We don’t have anything against sponsors or sales pitches, but they run counter to our goal of cutting through the noise, so we don’t have either. We’re aiming for 100% clear signal. Explicit
