What happened
Collection of Bruce Schneier blog posts covering several security and policy topics: Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard won the 2026 Turing Award for inventing quantum cryptography (Schneier reiterates his view that QC is scientifically interesting but of limited practical necessity); a positive review of Apple’s hardware camera-indicator design and the security benefits of hardware vs on‑screen indicators; Senator Ron Wyden warning of a likely secret abuse of Section 702 and urging declassification before reauthorization (surveillance/constitutional risk); Proton Mail reportedly provided EU/
