Why this is listed

Its 2026 run carries four post-quantum episodes alongside episodes with no quantum content, which is more than one and still current, even though the remit is broader.

The show describes itself as a podcast about modern computer security and cryptography, with a focus on engineering and real-world experiences. It states that it began in 2021 and has featured guests from across the security industry, academia and government. Its hosts are David Adrian, Deirdre Connolly and Thomas Ptacek.

Post-quantum cryptography is a recurring subject rather than the whole remit. Episodes published in 2026 include one on standardising pure post-quantum cryptography, two on lattice cryptography with Chris Peikert and Mark Schultz-Wu, and one on the post-quantum executive orders, alongside episodes with no quantum content at all. That mix is why it sits in this category and a general security show with one good episode does not.
