The FCC’s new National Security Council is changing how the United States addresses telecom risks. Chairman Brendan Carr introduced the council on March 13, 2025, amid rising concerns over foreign infiltration. Quantum computing remains at the forefront, as it could weaken current encryption methods. Here we look through the lens of quantum computing at this new Council.
Venari Security and QryptoCyber have teamed up to deliver the first complete cryptographic compliance solution addressing quantum risks. Their partnership offers real-time cryptographic visibility, automatic policy enforcement, and accelerated transition towards post-quantum encryption. Enterprises now have actionable tools to mitigate encryption vulnerabilities proactively.
SEALSQ and WISeSat are launching ultra-secure IoT satellites, integrating post-quantum security to protect connected industries from cyber threats. This initiative, backed by SpaceX launches, enhances encryption and authentication, ensuring future-proof digital resilience. The project also supports blockchain-based security applications, reinforcing decentralized identity and AI-driven cybersecurity.
Quantropi teams with HIMERA to equip G1 PRO tactical radios with quantum-level encryption, protecting military communications from next-gen threats.
The QKD-GEO project by Thales Alenia Space and Hispasat pioneers secure quantum key distribution from geostationary orbit, enhancing global communication security.
SEALSQ and WISeKey are enhancing their technologies to secure IoT and digital ecosystems. Their partnership focuses on integrating post-quantum cryptographic chips, blockchain solutions, and satellite connectivity. The two support the development of resilient, secure systems for global applications.
Quantinuum, Mitsui, and NEC successfully transmitted quantum tokens over a 10km fibre network. This trial demonstrates unforgeable financial instruments with rapid settlement. Quantum technology is reshaping the security landscape in finance.
Quranium introduces the QSafe Wallet, built on its quantum-resistant Core Layer Testnet. Users can claim test QRN tokens and explore advanced wallet features. Early adopters gain access to incentives and secure blockchain interactions.
Fortanix has teamed up with Carahsoft to bring advanced cybersecurity and post-quantum cryptography solutions to the Public Sector. This agreement allows Carahsoft to distribute Fortanix’s offerings through its reseller network and procurement programs, including NASA SEWP V and NASPO ValuePoint.
Telia has conducted Finland’s first test of quantum encryption technology within a commercial network, advancing national efforts to secure critical infrastructure. The test, part of the NaQCI.fi project, showcases the potential of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in safeguarding sensitive communications.
