Defining 'Quantum-Ready' for the Supply Chain: Introducing the PQC Maturity Model (PQCMM)
June 14, 2026 by Paul van Brouwershaven (Digitorus) PKI Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC PQCMM Supply Chain
The PKI Consortium is introducing the Post-Quantum Cryptography Maturity Model (PQCMM), a standardized framework to define what quantum-readiness means for products and services. Learn how this model simplifies vendor evaluation and helps procurement teams secure their digital supply chain.

PKI Consortium Launches the CBOM Profiles Working Group
June 8, 2026 by William (Bill) Turner (William (Bill) Turner), Paul van Brouwershaven (Digitorus), Michael Osborne (IBM) CBOM PKI PQC Working Group
The PKI Consortium has established a new CBOM Profiles Working Group to develop a neutral, open methodology for defining Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) profiles. Chaired by Michael Osborne (IBM) and Vice-Chaired by William (Bill) Turner (Independent), the group will produce mapping guidance to SPDX and CycloneDX and publish reference profiles — including PKI-focused examples — so any industry can define its own CBOM profile in a consistent, repeatable way.

The Post-Quantum Cryptography Conference is returning to Europe — Amsterdam, December 1-3, 2026. Our Call for Proposals is now open. The bar is simple: production experience over theory. If you have done the work, submit now.

Defining Quantum-Readiness: Introducing the Post-Quantum Cryptography Maturity Model
October 27, 2025 by Paul van Brouwershaven (Digitorus) Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC PQC Maturity Model
As the industry moves toward a post-quantum future, terms like “quantum-ready” and “quantum-safe” are everywhere; but what do they actually mean in practice? The PKI Consortium PQC Working Group has developed a draft Post Quantum Cryptography Maturity Model (PQCMM) to provide clarity for organizations and vendors alike. This model defines maturity levels for PQC adoption across all products and solutions that rely on cryptography. We invite feedback to refine this framework before it becomes an industry reference.

Call for Abstracts: PQC Conference 2025 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
May 7, 2025 by Paul van Brouwershaven (Digitorus) Conference Kuala Lumpur Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC
The PKI Consortium invites researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to submit abstracts for the PQC Conference 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This hybrid event (October 28-30, 2025) will focus on the status and practical implementation of post-quantum cryptography across strategic and technical dimensions.

Key Takeaways of the PQC Conference in Austin
January 30, 2025 by Paul van Brouwershaven (Digitorus) Austin Conference Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC Texas
Over two days of intensive programming, experts delivered compelling presentations and engaged in insightful panel discussions, both in plenary sessions and concurrent breakout tracks. This year, the focus shifted decisively from theoretical exploration to concrete, actionable steps for implementing quantum-safe cryptography. The key takeaway was clear: delay poses the greatest risk, and immediate action is essential to achieve quantum resilience.
