When the algorithms that built our digital world are under threat, the clock doesn’t tick — it accelerates.

In Episode 9 of The Quantum Space Podcast – Innovating Trust, Publisher and Editor Steve Atkins unpacks what’s really at stake as Europe races to prepare for the post-quantum age. Drawing from the new TQS and Wibu-Systems whitepaper, Sovereign by Design: How Europe Can Secure Its Digital Future in the Post-Quantum Age, the episode explores how quantum disruption and European sovereignty have become two sides of the same coin.

From harvest-now, decrypt-later threats to the regulatory timelines laid down by NIST, ENISA, and the European Commission, this conversation connects the dots between compliance, capability, and continental independence. Listeners will hear how initiatives such as the Cyber Resilience Act, DORA, and NIS2 are converging with Europe’s wider ambition to define its own trusted digital future.

This isn’t just a cryptography story — it’s about who controls the infrastructure of trust in the quantum era.
