Security Without Compromise!
NIST’s August 2026 FIPS 140-3 Implementation Guidance adds major new guidance for hybrid cryptographic modules and clarifies PAA/PAI testing and porting expectations.
The post-quantum transition just took another important step forward. RFC 10024, “Post-Quantum Traditional (PQ/T) Hybrid Key Agreement Mechanisms for TLS 1.3,” is now officially an IETF Standards Track RFC.
The Coldcard Bitcoin wallet attack demonstrates how weak entropy can undermine strong cryptography, offline storage, hardware security, and private-key protection.
Recent AI systems found major OpenSSL and wolfSSL vulnerabilities and produced new attacks on HAWK and reduced-round AES, reshaping cryptanalysis.
HAWK has been withdrawn from NIST’s post-quantum signature competition after researchers discovered a structural weakness that significantly lowered the cost of key recovery.
Explore the 2026 Common Criteria updates affecting entropy, cryptography, NIAP Protection Profiles, FIPS 140-3, FIPS 186-5, CTRDRBG, and PQC.
