NSA

SuperSecretAgentMan

Google has been doing mass surveillance on Americans for nearly a decade. NSA contractors don't use Google devices for a very good reason. The ones I know won't tell me anything about why, but the reason is painfully obvious.

Obama was sitting on those files when the establishment bureaucracy was frantically looking for any dirt on him they could find in 2016, back when FBI contractors were accessing NSA databases 38K times in 1 month specifically looking for dirt on behalf of the Establishment bureaucracy. Had he been compromised by Epstein we would’ve heard about THAT 4 million times a day back in 2016 instead of “grab em’ by the pussy”. Think about it.

It's mostly libs who don't pay attention. Everything Trump has done has been done before, often by Dems. Qwest Communications, led by CEO Joseph Nacchio, was the only major telecom to refuse the NSA's request for warrantless customer data access in early 2001, prior to 9/11. Qwest deemed the requests illegal. Following this refusal, Nacchio alleged the NSA punished Qwest by denying them lucrative government contracts. Electronic Frontier Foundation Electronic Frontier Foundation +3 Key details regarding the refusal and its aftermath include: Refusal Timing: The request was made in February 2001, months before 9/11, contradicting the notion that the warrantless program was purely a post-9/11 measure. Nacchio’s Defense: During his insider trading appeal, Nacchio claimed the government targeted him because he refused to cooperate with illegal surveillance demands. Consequences: While other carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and BellSouth were implicated in, or didn't deny, cooperation with the NSA's Stellar Wind program, Qwest stood alone in its public refusal. Legal Standing: Nacchio stated that without a warrant or specific legal authority (FISA court), complying with the request would have violated the Telecommunications Act. Electronic Frontier Foundation Electronic Frontier Foundation +2 Note: In other, later, instances, tech companies like Yahoo faced fines of $250,000 a day for resisting similar, but distinct, NSA data requests.

If that’s true then why didn’t Obama or Biden release it? The month he announced his candidacy in 2016 FBI contractors accessed NSA databases 38K times (in 1 month) looking for dirt on Trump, that was before the special counsel spent 2 years and 20 million investigating every detail of the man’s life. Then there was the special counsel Smith investigation, the FBI investigated him repeatedly, Alvin Bragg investigated him, Letitia James investigated him, Fani Willis investigated him, the house oversight and intelligence committee investigated him, the house Jan 6 committee investigated him. He’s the most investigated man on earth, and all they could find was some dealings with a porn star and “grab em’ by the pussy” 😂🤣😂. If there was anything to your wild conspiracy theories we would’ve heard about it 4 million times a day in 2016 instead of “grab em’ by the pussy” 😂🤣😂.

BrilliantWheel

Interesting. But if DoD doctrine takes care of the other point, then was mass surveillance the only sticking point for US Govt? Remind me - after the whole Edward Snowden revelations, wasn't the NSA surveillance program revisited and restricted? So 10+ years on and the agencies just decided to forget about it and push for mass surveillance again?

waerrington

Those are both things the US government needs ti do though. Surveillance of Americans is the literal job of the FBI, NSA, and a host of other agencies. Fully autonomous drones are inevitable, the Chinese won’t build in a human in the loop.  If Anthropic won’t do it, time to replace them.

NARCISSIST PIG BASTARD, It is only a matter of time until they remove all the documents from the internet with this statement like- “J.Epstein was an agent working for CIA, NSA, or some other bullshit department; therefore the powers at be(Trump) as decided that all the documents released will now be redacted and the status will be changed to classified. If they don’t it’s only a matter of time before is deranged ass is overthrown, along with all his bootlicking cronies. If he isn’t it should be apparent by now that he does not intend to give up his power this time He is thinking to himself “If I can nearly stage a coup when I’m no longer president, next time I’ll change enough of the government to where I won’t have to leave” And everyone should see this coming, it was apparent on Jan. 6th, that a NARCISSIST will do everything he can to not give up any control or power. He will become Americas version of V.Putin

DearGodWhyDidntISell

Probably only the NSA harvests more data. Goog goes long stretches behaving more like a store of wealth such as Gold or a Dividend Aristocrat (without large dividend). Until random 5%/day dip pops in. Yet they're on every phone and computer in some form, the monopoly continues, when biggest Chrome competitor outside China is basically "Bing" I can't make valuation make sense. Ads revenue, data harvesting from Gmail, Chrome, YouTube, Maps, ad store, phones, now AI. So yes, yes, $350 would make this world make more sense to me...

DARPA literally invented the internet, GPS, satellite, voice assistants, mRNA vaccines, night vision, laser guided bombs, prophetic limbs, robotics, cyborg bees. NSA invented the tools to breach every single computer world wide (now on GitHub leaked by Russia), CIA studied a shit ton more. Wtf are you on about, nerds in bunkers lmao.

zdayatk

Yeah, it's NSA obviously. Nakamoto SAtoshi.

Ecstatic_Wheelbarrow

I very much am keeping up with it, but I have almost 40 years of watching Dems let us down. Americans are conditioned to doing nothing. Some of the Epstein files were originally leaked years ago and nothing happened. NSA leaked over a decade ago and nothing happened. Voter records were destroyed in Florida during Bush V Gore and nothing happened. Gitmo was confirmed to torture POWs and nothing happened. American outrage doesn't exist beyond angry voices online, while Republicans and Dems found that if you ignore protestors Americans will move on in a month. People already don't care that we invaded a country and kidnapped their president just a month ago. Even if PLTR is somehow removed from the government, it'll come back with the same assholes as a new company.

Ecstatic_Wheelbarrow

Democrats aren't Liberals. Modern Democrats are the Republican party from the 80s with a few standouts like Bernie that *might* be willing to cut military spending. PLTR is also all over the EU. It's funny that France is cutting Zoom while giving PLTR access to their intelligence agencies. I guess they think Microsoft is a larger risk than the privatized NSA lead by Nazi sympathizers.

Aggravating-Sky8572

Epstein is just the scapegoat. Bitcoin is an NSA project to funnel money to so-called dissidents group in foreign countries, with blessings from CIA and Mossad.

Aggravating-Sky8572

Satoshi = NSA.

Aggravating-Sky8572

Bitcoin Satoshi is nothing but NSA. It was a side project to funnel money to opposition in foreign countries where US needed to topple their Government. Ofc, Mossad had its hand in there

CarcossaYellowKing

The Steele Dossier had elements that our own intelligence community deeemed accurate and Trump literally told the NSA to stand down during a Russian cyber attack during his second term as president. Can you give me a valid reason he would do that? Also, many of the files were sealed and many were part of Ghislane Maxwell’s ongoing investigation which is part of why they weren’t released before.

Canadian_Border_Czar

Youre right and wrong. Yes, big money traders use automation to try to catch trends in the news, mostly this is how they get paid on a daily basis: taking money from retail traders that have 1 arm tied behind their back. They have platforms or sometimes their own proprietary software that monitors news feeds looking for keywords, much like the NSA looking for domestic terrorists. You wouldnt use a LLM for this. A LLM would quite easily hallucinate news that happened 2 years ago, go all in and lose money. 

TheGreatSockMan

There can be more than one surveillance state, plus the US already does that with the NSA

Rock_or_Rol

We’ve basically just privatized our surveillance state. Palantir is a rebranded, shitty NSA Benn Jordan has an awesome video on flock if you care about not having security compromised cameras recording your every move in public https://youtu.be/Pp9MwZkHiMQ?si=zv3lIt2VnD_7RqDF

Hwangoutpltr

NSA, prolly

Feltzinclasp5

A lot of people don't realize the government basically privatized the NSA under Palantir so they don't have to answer to the public as a government agency. Multiples might be really high, but all I know is that they're way too important for the government to let them fail. Doesn't matter who is President, they're not going anywhere

"Why shouldn't I work for the NSA? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at the NSA. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are saying, 'Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area' 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, getting shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pulling a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie taking shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. They're taking their leisurely time bringing the oil back, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink Martinis and play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the seafood in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is giving him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile, he's starving, 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're serving is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holding out for something better. I figure I'll eliminate the middleman, rather than create all that trouble, as long as I can just shoot my buddy myself, I'll go take his job, I'll give his job to his sworn enemy, I'll hike up gas prices, I'll bomb a village, I'll club a baby seal, I'll hit the hash pipe and join the Junior Coast Guard. Maybe I can be elected President."

Wait till they discovef the waste and Broken Promises of Grok and Palantir.... Impossible claims...Massive Exponentially increasing resource needs as the scope increases.... Same problems that the NSA had with XKeyscore and Prism... You could build a Manhatten City Sized Data Center and still run out of processing power and memory to track every person all the time.... It just isn't physically possible.... And Grok is great for some things... Military Capabilities is not likely going to be one of them. Musk and Theil both overpromise cannot really deliver.

\- finally cracking down on high-income individuals and corporations I remember reading about how the US three letter agencies monitor every banking transaction in and out of Bermuda, and that was a while ago oh it was also mentioned by the leaky guy \- Based on news reports and documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden in 2013-2014, Bermuda's communications, including undersea cables, were monitored by UK and US intelligence services, which could potentially include surveillance of individuals for reasons such as tax avoidance or money laundering.

SidonyD

could you explain why ? :) What did UE when they got know NSA intercept communication from european leader ? nothing What did France when UK and US stole the deal of the century between France and Australia for 50 billions euros submarine ? nothing And if you're curious, watch on google street view the US embassy in Paris. Watch the last floor: it's a fake flood, it's just some partition to hide the communication interception system. It's very close to Elysée (hosue of president). Everyone knows it, it's not "conspiracy"

Garbage-Disposal-938

nothing that outlandish, I'm sorry to say: NSA monitors everything we say on every line of communication and then leaks it to criminals

Agree, but how is it that every average Joe Reddit knows he's doing Putin's bidding, but the CIA and NSA don't? I assume that they do, but just have to keep a lid on it. Who knew that all you had to do was say "Russia, Russia, Russia" three times like Betelgeuse and it casts a spell that obfuscates the truth.

"Weapons-grade" software attacks are going to be hand-rolled code deeply internal to the NSA.

Compulsory military service acts as a massive, government-funded tech incubator. Elite intelligence units, most famously Unit 8200 (similar to the NSA), train 18-year-olds in advanced coding, hacking, encryption, and signal processing. Insane workaholic culture, the Technion. That’s why Israel with its 10m has 1/3rd of the startups the EU has with its 500m people have. No bullshit straight talk meritocracy etc etc.

TherealCarbunc

# Early January Catalysts: The "Squeeze" Triggers The likelihood of the squeeze increases significantly if any of these early January catalysts (teased in the CEO letter) hit the tape: * **TCG Certification for QVault:** The CEO letter and subsequent DD mention a **Q1 2026 target** for the first quantum-resistant TPM. If this certification is announced in early January, it provides the "Industrial Validation" needed to trigger the volume the Reddit post mentions. * **CNSA 2.0 Compliance:** As January marks the start of the 2026 fiscal/regulatory cycle for the NSA's quantum mandates, any news of $LAES chips being "Design-In" for a U.S. defense contractor would act as the "Black Swan" event. * **M&A Finalization:** The CEO letter emphasized the IC'Alps acquisition. If the company uses its **$440M cash** to announce a second, U.S.-based manufacturing acquisition in early January, the "Cash Floor" ($2.34) would likely move higher, forcing shorts to exit. # 3. CEO Letter vs. The Thesis The **CEO Letter** acts as the "Fundamental Floor" for the squeeze. * **Elimination of Debt:** The letter confirms the company has no more convertible notes. In many micro-cap squeezes, "death spiral" financing kills the rally. Because $LAES has eliminated this debt (per the CEO letter), a squeeze is **mathematically more possible** because there is no predatory lender waiting to dump shares at the top. * **Pipeline Conversion:** The letter’s move from a $93M pipeline to a $200M pipeline (mentioned in the DD) suggests that the "Growth" story is accelerating faster than the market realizes. # Summary Verdict * **Will it squeeze in early January?** Only if a **major news catalyst** (Contract or Certification) drops to provide the volume. Otherwise, the stock is likely to "pin" near **$4.3-$4.5** due to option expirey of $5 calls on 1/16 * **Is it a "Value Squeeze"?** Yes. Even if a vertical "mooning" doesn't happen, the **$2.34 cash floor** and **$7.00 price target** from Cantor Fitzgerald suggest a "Slow Squeeze" (upward re-rating) as the market realizes the company is trading at near-liquidation value despite 100% growth

>Yes, computers need electricity. Just like all modern money needs electricity and internet. You misunderstand. Doesn't work middle of nowhere, underground, etc. >There do not exist enough bad actors on Earth to 51% bitcoin; the network is too strong. You’re welcome to do so, if it were profitable enough. But you won’t, because you can’t. And even if a bad actor was to do this, the chain would simply split and go back to the last good known ledger. It sounds like you don’t understand bitcoin very well. Again, you misunderstand. If bitcoin ever truly got big enough a state actor or conglomerate (I am not suggesting an individual) could throw their compute behind 51% long enough to take over. China, NSA, middle eastern countries, Amazon, Google, xAI, anyone with enough asset resources could technically pull it off if it become valuable enough. A split is suicide and basically kills the protocol. >And as for not basing a trillion dollar network on an unknown inventor - we already have. It exists, whether you like it or not. As a speculation, not the basis for commerce like bitcoin zealots seem to want. Right now it's glorified gambling, if it ever truly threatened currency it would be attacked and frankly could never really be trusted. Of course it's a cult like religion for many now because they think it's an investment and their hopes and dreams are based on it sky rocketing in value. Interestingly enough the hoarders are the very reason it cannot surpass a certain level because they refuse to sell.

pcor

The US has been pioneering cyber warfare all the way back to the NSA’s Tailored Access Operations unit in the 90s counts as “fighting back”. They’ve been at the cutting edge since cyberspace was first conceived as a battlefield, they’re not being reactive. The US uses underhand and illegal cyber techniques to surveil and attack its rivals (and neutral parties, and allies…) in the furtherance of its perceived national interests, as do said rivals when they have the capacity to do so. Pretty naive to assume any party is more or less noble than any other.

The government will be backing quantum defense and it will be ramping up over the next 2-5 years. I'd rather buy and hold this for 2-5 years at these evaluations than chasing it when it's $10+. yes it is currently unprofitable but if you review their news trends, they are positioning themselves very well to be a player in the market Governments aim: # Phases of the Migration Strategy # 1. Standardization (Complete/Ongoing) * **Target:** Select and standardize quantum-resistant algorithms. * **Status:** **Complete/Ongoing.** The National Institute of Standards and Technology (**NIST**) has finalized the first set of PQC standards, including: * **ML-KEM** (Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism, replacing key exchange algorithms like Diffie-Hellman). * **ML-DSA** (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm, replacing digital signature algorithms like ECDSA). * **SLH-DSA** (A hash-based digital signature, intended as a secondary option). * **NSA's Role:** The NSA's **CNSA 2.0** suite requires the use of these NIST-selected algorithms, confirming the government's official cryptographic direction. # 2. Inventory and Pilot Deployment (Current Phase) * **Target:** Federal agencies must conduct a **comprehensive cryptographic inventory** to identify all systems using vulnerable public-key cryptography. * **Timeline:** * **Immediate:** Agencies must create quantum-readiness roadmaps and begin identifying systems that are vulnerable or will not be able to support PQC. * **2025 (CNSA 2.0):** New software, firmware, web servers, and cloud services for NSS must **support and prefer** CNSA 2.0 algorithms. # 3. Implementation and Enforcement (2027 Onward) * **Target:** Full transition to hybrid and then exclusively PQC algorithms. * **Key Milestones (CNSA 2.0):** * **January 1, 2027:** All **new acquisitions** for National Security Systems must be CNSA 2.0 compliant by default. * **2030:** All deployed equipment and services in NSS that cannot support CNSA 2.0 must be **phased out**. * **2031:** Full enforcement begins across most NSS cryptographic implementations.

SuperSultan

Why does the NSA need quantum computing?

catcatcattreadmill

No you misunderstand. That's using a GPU to interface with a quantum computer, to offload the classical computing, to even get a quantum result. Quantum computers aren't useful currently, no one needs one other than the NSA, and they certainly won't exist outside of a lab for decades.

Old_Ape_General

Maybe NSA and yeah Epstein legit funded early devs/ university research… inventors dead or sworn to secrecy & also plausible that our government is incompetent and wiped the drives with the Satoshi wallets or something.

Old_Ape_General

It doesn’t entirely kill the story. There’s a good chance that even if the NSA created it, they don’t have access to the Satoshi wallets anymore. Could’ve been created by a team of contractors doing an experiment whatever laptops wiped, sworn to secrecy or dead. Entire blockchain is public though like Bitcoin does not offer privacy; quite the opposite.

Better_Peaches666

Yeah.... You know how we always show China as the boogie man that sees and hears everything? That's already us to our own people with the NSA, all of soap media, and the 80,000 Flok cameras..... They know every inch we move and it's now going to be turbocharged with AI so the bubble doesn't pop

Krammsy

You "can" gain more than 2%, but it's insanely difficult. The highest & most consistent performer of all time was Jim Simons Medallion Fund @ 65% per year for 300 years. Jim was an M.I.T. grad, mathematician who quit his job as an NSA code-breaker to become a hedge fund manager. I'm not going into details, but will say that you absolutely must understand that characteristics of Delta/Gamma, Vega & Theta relative to both time to expiry and distance above & below strike in order to at least tread water. If all you're doing is buying single directional puts or calls based on colorful lines & patterns on charts or what some guy on Youtube suggests, you're funding Ken Griffin, Ryan Cohen or Bill Ackman's next vacation home in the Swiss Alps.

The NSA has a $52-billion budget and the ability to monitor tens of millions of calls a second. You think they're not using it?

Replace “cartel” with “NSA”, and “launder” with “gather intelligence” ^(but keep “launder” too)

There is a lizard appearing in the corner of my ceiling, not moving for since yesterday. Highly suspect that it's NSA surveillance bot.

If 🥭 really is getting blackmailed by Putin then the CIA, FBI and NSA all need to be disbanded because they are completely useless

Besides letting the NSA decrypt and read everyone's sexts and Xi read Trump's emails, it has a lot of really promising applications in chemistry and materials science. Molecular dynamics and electron band structure simulations are impractically expensive for systems larger than a few hundred or thousand atoms and timescales longer than nanoseconds. There's already been some exciting demonstrations of quantum computers solving that sort of problem in practical timescales, so it stands to reason there's a lot of very valuable applications we'll begin to see in drug discovery, electronic and photonic materials, and some niche military stuff like the nuclear weapons simulations that are behind the supercomputer arms race.

I just use Proton...but none of them are free of NSA/CIA backdoor access.

TiredElephant_c

Can someone who works for the NSA do something spying and find me some insider information. Thanks

Iamnotarobot82

NSA here, just want to say hi and keep it real. Ciao.

It does have bipartisan support, but it's not 50/50. Palantir has been propped up more by Republicans than Democrats. Also, "privatized model of the NSA" in both an accurate and horrifying description of what Palantir is.

Worried_Quarter469

NSA is on their board, might happen

Catch_ME

The government would never allow loans without some level of control. Access to data for the NSA and getting exclusive access to processing capacity for the DoD.  The government can nationalize them anytime, so they don't need equity. OpenAI will be a national security asset. I don't know if this is a good or bad. 

byronicbluez

PLTR is easy money if you have no ethics. They are essentially getting a hold of all NSA data. They are already incorporated to every single DoD agency. If they lose that means the US moved away from being a Military Industry Complex.

ashe141

Lol then you should be working at the NSA bro and not slumming it here.

quincytugboat

You could make the same argument about the United States NSA organization but ummm Edward Snowden got exiled for that. Palantir ain’t the first organization to spy on citizens. Facebook, Amazon, Apple, etc. have been doing it for years. Same ethical problem with those if not more than with Palantir to be honest.

Feltzinclasp5

Palantir is very much the privatized model of the NSA which operated under both Democrat and GOP presidents. Saying national surveillance and data collection isn't a bipartisan effort is just not true

hiphopanonomos

The NSA did not create bitcoin. Repeating this comment will cost you -500 palantir points. You have been warned

Accomplished_Rip_362

My understanding as far as cryptography goes is that very large amounts of data encrypted with pre-quantum cryptography has already been captured and recorded. They may not be able to decrypt post-quantum cryptography but they will be able to mine that previously captured data. Now, the question is, is that worth anything ? Probably worth something to the NSA but commercially it's totally useless.

notapersonaltrainer

If there's a true quantum breakthrough these companies will basically be de facto owned by the NSA.

superteed

Back in my day we just built quantum computers out of PS3s at the NSA.

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

My understanding is that the white paper cores esoteric NSA research papers whose access would not be widespread. I'm open to it not being CIA, or some other intelligence group.

Icy_Bookkeeper_208

Maybe the Market shrugged off AWS today. Snow is a helluva drug after all. But I'm starting to think thia was no glitch and expect more based on China's report that it thwarted NSA cyberattack. AWS might have been the initial strike or counterstrike in what could be a new level in the cyber war we know goes on constantly.  https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/china-says-it-has-foiled-a-series-u-s-cyberattacks-on-its-critical-infrastructure-ministry-of-state-security-says-it-has-irrefutable-evidence-nsa-tried-to-cause-international-time-chaos

They know, but they've been told not to publish / report on it. The media is not on your side, their job is to curate the news and leave you with a specific impression of the world you are living in (they don't see their job as catching the bad guys). This was beyond obvious with Edward Snowden... the minute he was packed away in Russia, the media ceased to cover the NSA. We have no idea what the NSA is currently up to, but you better believe it's probably tied to AI and it's probably evil as shit. Same thing with Julian Assange. Minute he was (unjustly) tossed in jail and had no voice, the media stopped covering him. The media is not your friend. The minute you think they are, is the minute you're in danger of losing a lot of money on your trades.

PapaVolatility

Ruh roh, China making claims that the NSA attacked NTSC ( crit infra ). Me thinks China is done being quiet.

KeyHelicopter2764

All right just got back from the future children. Here’s what’s gonna happen. Amazon reports earnings right for Halloween. They’re gonna be like they have been doing, but as if that wasn’t enough right at that time is when American president and Chinese president are to meet they’re gonna do the hokey. Pokey become best pals and say that the tariffs are gonna be a thing of the past and free trade shall resume and then in combination the price of Amazon is gonna go to 350. Don’t want the NSA looking for me so you didn’t hear this for me.

Firecracker048

I mean, for the US it makes sense when you realize china has a backdoor into everything produced in their country. Rumors from 2+ years ago is the NSA discovered backdoors into all Huawei routers and switches, which sent Iran and china both spiraling for security updates to their firmware.

Bettet

Where is the revenue coming from ? What exactly ? NSA have said they are not interested in quantum for breaking cryptography, they just want to know when the tech is here so they can prepare. 

Trying_2BNice

>I really wish we had a president who’s biggest “controversy” was “where were you born??” and “you eat WHAT on your hotdogs!?” The NSA reveal? Drone strikes? Just because you don't pay attention doesn't mean Obama didn't have major controversies under his term.

China used PQC to hack 9 US Telecoms and US gov in October-2024 and again earlier this month. Due to the most recent gov hack, Trump’s EO accelerates CISA-approved list of NSA CSfC symmetric encryption via RFC 8784 for classified VPN’s, now due Dec 1, 2025.  Arqit is one of three commercial solutions (the  other two use Arqit or Palo Alto components) that fully implements RFC 8784, and the only one that is cloud-deployed and immediately available through Master Government Aggregator Carahsoft without waiting for RFP’s and is poised to earn an DIANA innovation badge for NATO adoption Q1 2026. Above resistance, Arqit is quantum-safe.  Recent DoD contract and pending Innovation Badge award for NATO adoption, Arqit is on track to become a standard layer of quantum-safe encryption across the globe.  Quantum-resistant encryption is expected to be broken and require continuous updating.  Quantum Key Distribution is susceptible to denial-of-service and guarantees only key security and not subsequent data transmission.  Arqit may be as good as it gets.

Google, since last I checked they have monetized access to their Q-bits already. So consider ask the infrastructure needed to execute that, they’re taking it very seriously. They’re also really good buddies with DARPA for funding historically, and it’s no different for this. The NSA have been gushing over quantum computing for decades. ***Sidebar Anecdote***: I was talking to folks in my network (*mostly semiconductor / materials science*) the Google and Microsoft labs about getting a gig there (materials research engineer). **Microsoft**: have built a show and tell lab to tour senators round for funding **Google**: are driving forward with extreme competence **it’s VERY rare for a software co to properly run a materials research lab*** Microsoft have just been buying Honeywell Q-bits for actual demo’s, I’m told. There’s IBM, who’ll discover something and ride that patent to death. Final consideration, for all those hobbyist quantum companies. ***running a material science cleanroom research facility is a huge money sink*** , given quantum is nowhere near a real product, companies in the quantum game that can’t rely on welfare funding from a patent co have zero chance of surviving until it finally takes off (it’s ALWAYS ten years away, like cold fusion).
