Quantum Security and Beyond – for Digital Sovereignty and a Secure Future
summary
Claims that Europe has a EuroQCI commitment from 27 member states to deploy a pan‑EU quantum network, cites concrete test links (Bratislava 250 km, Poznan–Warsaw 380 km, and a functioning 608 km quantum backbone Berlin–Bonn), and warns of “store now, decrypt later” risk tied to data shelf time. Notes NIST/PQC standardization progress, existing QKD testbeds and labs readying devices for certification, a South Korea component certification example, and argues for a hybrid PQC+QKD rollout because customers and certified products remain scarce.
