Lattice-based PQC for MCP Transport Layer Security
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, January 21st, 2026
Ever feel like we're just building sandcastles while the tide is coming in? That is basically where we are with ai security right now-especially with how we handle the Model Context Protocol (mcp).
The Quantum Threat to AI Model Context Protocol
Honestly, it's a bit of a "harvest now, decrypt later" situation. Bad actors are sitting on encrypted data streams today, just waiting for a quantum computer to get big enough to run Shor's algorithm. Once that happens, the integer factorization that keeps rsa alive-and the discrete logs for ecc-just fall apart like a cheap suit.
