Clinicians need tap and go speed with zero tolerance for downtime. One large hospital attempted to pair advanced HID SEOS credentials, which use privacy-preserving randomized IDs, with a clinical SSO platform that expects static IDs for user recognition. This architectural mismatch forced a choice between…

Inventors of Quantum Cryptography Win Turing Award
Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have won the 2026 Turing Award for inventing quantum cryptography. I am incredibly pleased to see them get this recognition. I have always thought the technology to be fantastic, even though I think it’s largely unnecessary. I wrote up my thoughts back in 2008, in an <a href+https://www.schneier.com/essays/archives/2008/10/quantum_cryptography.html”>essay titled “Quantum…
