HNDL, KyberSlash, & The $7B Compliance Theater: A PQC Analysis

Is the global rush to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) a necessary defense against a "Quantum Apocalypse," or is it a dangerous case of "Compliance Theater"? In this video, we apply a skeptical researcher’s framework to the narrative championed by NIST and the NSA. We examine the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) threat model and question whether the financial incentives of a projected $7.8 billion market are driving us toward a fragile cryptographic monoculture. We cover: • The "HNDL" Narrative: How the fear of future decryption is driving immediate, perhaps reckless, adoption. • The "Gold Rush": The billion-dollar valuations of startups like SandboxAQ and QuSecure despite the absence of a viable quantum threat. • Algorithmic Fragility: The catastrophic 62-minute defeat of SIKE and the "KyberSlash" vulnerabilities found in the new standards. • The "Backfire" Risk: Why rushing to complex lattice-based algorithms (ML-KEM/Kyber) might introduce more bugs than it solves. • Operational Hidden Costs: How the massive key sizes of PQC could break the IoT and satellite communications. Key Takeaway: The transition to a quantum-safe world is necessary, but the current sprint is a reckless race across a minefield. It is time to value resilience over speed.
