60 hours to halve a post-quantum cipher: a 2026 crypto-agility playbook

In July 2026 Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview halved a post-quantum signature candidate's security margin and sped a reduced AES attack 200-800x. No production system broke, but the direction of travel is the story

2026-2027 post-quantum cryptography readiness: the enterprise crypto-agility roadmap

The post-quantum standards are final, browsers already negotiate ML-KEM by default, and FIPS 140-2 validations expire on 21 September 2026. Here is a practical crypto-agility roadmap for enterprises, from cryptographic
