The Post-Quantum Deadline
Summary
This article argues that the real post-quantum deadline started when encrypted data was captured, not when quantum computers become available. It says AI systems face extra risk because model weights, decision logs, and centralized data pipelines all create long-lived targets for future decryption and forgery. The article makes a strong case for post-quantum signatures, tamper-evident records, and offline verifiability from the start rather than retrofitting later. It also positions Mickai and Pantheon as examples of sovereign intelligence software designed with quantum-safe cryptography from genesis. The piece closes by warning that any system making consequential decisions should be built to survive the end of classical cryptographic trust.
