Beyond TLS: Post-Quantum VPNs (WireGuard and IPsec)

How experimental post-quantum WireGuard forks and IKEv2 Multi-KE (RFC 9370) carry hybrid ML-KEM handshakes over UDP, and how to prevent IP-layer fragmentation of oversized PQC handshake datagrams.

The Enterprise PQC Migration Checklist: Discovery to Deployment

A phased, checklist-driven structure for CISOs and DevOps leads to inventory cryptographic assets, update TLS libraries, and roll out hybrid PQC on reverse proxies without causing handshake outages.

The 47-Day TLS Certificate: Automation as a Prerequisite for PQC

Why CA/Browser Forum-mandated certificate lifespans falling to 100 days by 2027 and 47 days by 2029 force ACME automation — and why that automation is the exact crypto-agility infrastructure a PQC algorithm swap requires.

Deploying PQC on Edge: Nginx and Envoy Configurations

The current state of PQC support in OpenSSL and BoringSSL, concrete nginx.conf and Envoy config snippets for hybrid key exchange, and how to verify the negotiated group with openssl, curl, and bssl.

Implementing Hybrid TLS in Go: A Developer's Guide

How crypto/tls adopted hybrid post-quantum key exchange from X25519Kyber768Draft00 to X25519MLKEM768, with working server and client tls.Config examples and fallback guidance.

The Performance Cost of PQC: Key Sizes and Network Latency

Byte-level comparison of Ed25519/X25519 versus ML-KEM-768 and ML-DSA-65, and how the resulting payload growth interacts with TCP congestion windows, fragmentation, and QUIC/DTLS anti-amplification limits.

Buying and Deploying PQC-Ready Certificates: Providers, ACME, and Nginx

The current state of PQC certificate issuance across major CAs, how ACME accommodates large ML-DSA signatures, and a copy-pasteable nginx.conf for hybrid key exchange with your existing certificate.

Cryptographic Agility: Best Practices for the PQC Migration

Why hardcoded cryptographic primitives are an architectural liability in the PQC era, and how to design systems that swap ML-KEM, ML-DSA, or their successors without rewriting business logic.
