U.S.-Allied Militaries Must Prepare for the Quantum Threat to Cryptography (Edward Parker – Just Security)

Allied governments, especially militaries, should clarify their strategy for responding to this threat in order to ensure the future interoperability of communications that are secure against quantum attacks.
