Three days ago the Pentagon published a presolicitation notice to modify the F-35's In-Line File Encryption Device for quantum-resistant algorithms. Sole source to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. Capability statements due May 21.
The single most expensive weapons program in American history is migrating to post-quantum cryptography. Now.
The F-35's IFED protects the signed code that runs the aircraft. The Pentagon's requirement: the PQC update must deploy in the field without opening the enclosure. No depot returns. No hardware swap. Software-deliverable cryptographic agility on a deployed weapons platform across more than a dozen countries.
This is downstream of the November 2025 Department of War CIO memo that ordered an all-systems cryptographic inventory and set 2030 / 2031 retire-by dates. The Pentagon is doing exactly what every Fortune 500 needs to do. Inventory. Prioritize. Migrate. In that order.
If the F-35 cannot wait, your TLS certificates cannot wait. Your code signing cannot wait. Your passkeys cannot wait. Your VPN cannot wait.
QScout finds the exposure across every key, certificate, and protocol in your environment in 72 hours. 70 modules. 14 compliance frameworks. QStrike proves the risk to your board through live quantum attack demonstration. QSolve executes the migration. The Qtonic Quantum Lab independently scores every PQC implementation so you deploy what actually works.
The Pentagon is running this playbook on a fifth-generation fighter. You can run it on your enterprise.

@MartinSLewis After 10 years, I cancelled after a 100% price increase notice from RING, and the refund almost paid for the cost of 3 doorbell cams and 4 indoor cameras I bought from another vendor that does not require a subscription to use and record video.
@GodlyNations She would be more than welcome. If she attended our very conservative church for a while, she probably wouldn’t want to keep the brightly colored super short hair. But she wouldn’t be feeling the pressure from anybody at our church.
@totinho@FoxNews Skin color is irrelevant to the fact that these terrorist drug runners are distributing lethal drugs and represent a clear threat to the people of the USA. This is what I voted for.
