For long-lived infrastructure, that is already a live exposure.” The standards have arrived What has changed, London notes, is that concrete post-quantum standards now exist. “We have moved from ‘someday’ to ‘here is the algorithm,’” he says. “The excuse for not starting has gone.” A board-level roadmap His programme: discover where cryptography is used and ...
