BREAKING! GnuPG introduces quantum-resistant ML-KEM (Kyber) as encryption algorithm! https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2026q2/000504.html This is great news! However, as I've been saying for a while, we should stop considering Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later as the only thing to be immediately concerned about. The problem of signatures (Trust-Now-Forge-Later) is wrongly assumed to be way less urgent, but the reality is that rolling out a certificate migration will be extremely painful, and quantum attacks against signatures will be stealthy and of difficult attribution initially. Especially for a project like GnuPG, it's extremely important to adopt quantum-resistant signatures ASAP. #crypto #cryptography #PGP #GnuPG #quantum #security #privacy #cypherpunk
