  • arXiv paper proposes Readiness-Sovereignty Capability Model for post-quantum cryptography migration
    A new arXiv paper introduces RSCM, a national measurement model combining post-quantum cryptography readiness with cryptographic sovereignty, and rates 57 countries.

    • RSCM decomposes cryptographic sovereignty into three constructs: indigenous cryptographic capacity, indigenous post-quantum control, and external dependency
    • Applied to 57 documented cryptographic actors: 20 countries clear the post-quantum maker gate (15 full-stack makers, 5 research makers), 11 hold strong capacity without post-quantum control, 1 is a ready adopter, and 25 are dependent
    • Readiness correlates with independent cyber indices at rank correlations up to 0.70, while post-quantum creation shows little correlation with the commitment index (0.22)
    • Coding was validated with an independent second coder, a plausible-state bootstrap, and convergent-validity checks; inter-rater agreement reached a quadratic-weighted kappa of 0.71
