What happened
This collection of Schneier blog posts highlights several near-term security and privacy developments: France’s ANSSI will stop certifying products that lack quantum-resistant encryption (phase-out starting 2027, target 2030), accelerating post‑quantum migration and creating inventory/compatibility and supply-chain implications; research (Trail of Bits / badkeys) found real-world RSA moduli with many zeros that are factorable and require certificate/key remediation; a large passport database (~1M records) leaked after compromise of a low-value ID‑verification system, demonstrating credential‑l
