Carahsoft to distribute ZeroTier’s quantum-safe networking platform

On August 6, 2026, ZeroTier and Carahsoft announced a partnership to distribute ZeroTier Quantum, a software-defined networking platform designed to replace cryptographic security standards used for over two decades. The collaboration will leverage NASA’s Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contract, offering government agencies a direct path to deploy and scale this post-quantum secure networking solution. “Public Sector agencies today are operating in a threat environment that is more distributed, more dynamic, and more demanding than ever,” said Andrew Gault, CEO of ZeroTier, emphasizing the need for resilient connectivity in increasingly complex environments. ZeroTier Quantum embeds post-quantum cryptographic resilience into the transport layer, addressing the immediate threat of quantum computing breaking modern encryption. ZeroTier Quantum: Post-Quantum Cryptography via ZTP and Rust Architecture ZeroTier Quantum employs a memory-safe Rust architecture, a deliberate design choice to fortify its defenses against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks and vulnerabilities common in traditionally coded networking platforms. This focus on memory safety directly addresses a core weakness exploited by many modern exploits, reducing the attack surface and enhancing the platform’s overall resilience. The platform implements hybrid ML-KEM-1024 and ECDH P-384 cryptography, a layered approach intended to neutralize both immediate and future threats, specifically those involving the “harvest now, decrypt later” and “trust now, forge later” scenarios. By combining these cryptographic methods, ZeroTier Quantum aims to provide a robust defense against evolving quantum computing capabilities. This contract vehicle is particularly significant because it provides a pre-approved pathway for federal agencies to acquire and deploy the technology, bypassing lengthy and complex acquisition processes.

Post-Quantum Cryptography Timelines: When Will Organizations Migrate? - thequantuminsider.comquantum-computing

Post-Quantum Cryptography Timelines: When Will Organizations Migrate? - thequantuminsider.com

Every major organization has published a timeline. Governments, technology companies, financial institutions, critical infrastructure operators, and blockchain communities – all of the major players disagree on when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer will arrive, but none of them have published a “wait and see” position. As TQI’s Year of Quantum Security coverage has tracked, 2026 has become the year where that broad agreement on action became concrete – with deadlines, roadmaps, and product commitments replacing general awareness. This article maps what the major players have actually committed to, where the ranges cluster, and what the spread tells organizations still deciding how to prioritize their own migration. Regulatory deadlines form the bottom line. It’s important to note that they are the bare minimum expectations, not the goal post. NIST IR 8547, the transition framework published as an initial public draft in November 2024, calls for RSA-2048 and ECC-256 to be deprecated by 2030 and disallowed after 2035. These dates apply to federal agencies and extend to organizations handling federal data or operating in regulated environments. As TQI has covered, the three finalized standards such as ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204), and SLH-DSA (FIPS 205) – provide the algorithm foundation for that migration. CNSA 2.0 requires new acquisitions into National Security Systems to support quantum-resistant cryptography from January 1, 2027. Software and firmware signing must use quantum-resistant signatures by 2030, systems that cannot be upgraded must be retired, and quantum-resistant encryption must be the exclusive standard for web, cloud, and operating systems by 2033, with most other transitions completing on a similar timeline. Full quantum-resistant infrastructure across all systems is required by 2035 under NSM-10.

Amazon Researcher Claims Quantum Algorithm Could Challenge PQC Foundations - The Quantum Insiderquantum-computing

Amazon Researcher Claims Quantum Algorithm Could Challenge PQC Foundations - The Quantum Insider

A preliminary paper from an Amazon Web Services cryptographer describes a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for a long-standing mathematical problem whose solution could have implications for lattice-based cryptography, the foundation of many post-quantum encryption systems proposed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology, among others. This is early work, but if validated, the work would represent a significant advance in quantum algorithms. It would not, however, amount to an immediate attack on deployed post-quantum cryptography. The paper, written by Daniel R. Simon of Amazon Web Services’ Cryptography Group, presents what it describes as a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for the Dihedral Coset Problem, or DCP. The problem has occupied quantum algorithm researchers for more than two decades because earlier work connected it to several difficult lattice problems. Lattices are regular arrangements of points and while most people think of two-dimensional grids when they imagine a lattice, in this case, the lattice is extended across many dimensions. Cryptographic systems can construct problems on those lattices that are easy to generate but believed to be extraordinarily difficult for an attacker to reverse. Two of the most important are the Shortest Vector Problem, which asks a computer to find a sufficiently short nonzero vector — essentially, the shortest nontrivial step — in a lattice, and Learning With Errors, which hides information inside mathematical equations containing deliberately introduced noise. Variants of these problems underpin much of modern post-quantum cryptography. They are intended to remain secure against both classical computers and future quantum systems.

Quantum Computing: Creating the Next Cybersecurity Skills Race - dice.comquantum-computing

Quantum Computing: Creating the Next Cybersecurity Skills Race - dice.com

While artificial intelligence is having its moment, there is another potential industry-changing technology that has gained momentum while avoiding the scrutiny that has followed the release of large language models and virtual chatbots. That technology is quantum computing. For years, quantum computing has mainly been relegated to the worlds of theoretical mathematics and physics. There is now, however, a growing sense that practical applications for quantum computing are moving closer to reality. In turn, the technology has the potential to upend multiple industries and deliver breakthroughs in areas such as medical and pharmaceutical research. Quantum computing also raises significant cybersecurity concerns. Before the annual RSA Conference in April, Google Research released a paper detailing new developments in post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Specifically, researchers updated their estimates of the number of quantum computing “resources” – qubits and gates – required to break the 256-bit elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP-256), which underpins elliptic curve cryptography. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) uses the mathematics of curves to create secure keys. ECC provides high security with smaller key sizes than older methods, such as RSA. This makes it fast and safe for computer systems, cell phones and blockchain systems that make cryptocurrency possible. “Cybersecurity is one of the most disruptive areas that quantum computing is expected to affect because today’s internet relies heavily on cryptography,” Julien Camirand Lemyre, CEO and co-founder of Nord Quantique, a Canadian-based quantum computing company, told Dice. “A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could eventually break some of the cryptographic techniques currently used to protect digital communications, requiring a transition to new quantum-resistant standards.” Another significant cyber question is: Are organizations ready for this change, especially around security? In late 20

IonQ says orders set 2030 deadline for post-quantum crypto migration

President Trump signed two executive orders on June 22 that shift United States quantum technology policy from research toward practical application and national security. One order initiates a national effort to build a quantum computer for scientific discovery, while the other establishes deadlines of 2030 and 2031 for federal agencies to adopt post-quantum cryptography. These orders build upon the National Quantum Initiative Act and National Security Memorandum 10, signaling, as one expert notes, “Quantum isn’t just about academic research. It’s a national security priority with a schedule attached.” IonQ reports its Application-Centric Benchmarking Framework now measures progress by Time-to-Solution for real-world workloads, reflecting a move toward assessing practical impact. The recent executive orders issued on June 22 represent a fundamental shift in United States quantum technology policy, moving beyond research-focused initiatives to a strategy defined by concrete action and timelines. These orders, EO 14411 (“Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation”) and EO 14412 (“Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks”), acknowledge that quantum technology has reached a critical juncture, transitioning from decades of scientific advancement to the urgent need for practical capability and robust security measures. Rick Muller, IonQ’s Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist for IonQ Federal, emphasizes this evolution, stating, “Quantum isn’t just about academic research.” He notes that while the science has progressed significantly, a clear pathway from prototype to operational dependence has been lacking, a gap these executive orders directly address. The orders recognize that the question is no longer if quantum will matter, but how quickly the United States can leverage decades of research to bolster national security, scientific leadership, and economic competitiveness. A key component of this acceleration is a revised approach to mea
