How AES-256-GCM works, why it resists quantum attacks via Grover's algorithm, and what authenticated encryption actually protects against.

Complete timeline of NIST's post-quantum cryptography standardization from the 2016 call for proposals through FIPS 203, 204, 205, and HQC selection.

The state of post-quantum cryptography in 2026: NIST FIPS 203/204/205 + 206 (draft) finalized, and how QNSQY (Quantum Sequrity) ships quantum-safe algorithms today.

Q-Day is the moment a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer breaks RSA and ECC. Here is what Q-Day actually means, when experts expect it, and why Post Quantum Cryptography matters today.
