How Shor's algorithm actually breaks RSA
Most explanations stop at qubits being 0 and 1 at once, which tells you very little. Here we build a tiny RSA key on a clock of 15 and break it by hand with Shor's algorithm: an ordinary piece of arithmetic called the oracle, a hidden rhythm, and a Fourier transform that loads the dice in favour of the answer.
After eMudhra: a post-quantum PKI tree with your organisation at the root
In October, eight certificate authority keys trusted by every major browser turned out to be guessable. Here's how the web's chain of trust works, why one weak link puts everyone at risk, and how VeilNet's post-quantum PKI tree puts every organisation at the root of its own.
Taking sovereign post-quantum networking to Europe with Austrade
VeilNet has been selected for Austrade's Quantum Mission Europe. From 26 October to 6 November we're meeting customers, investors and governments across five of Europe's major quantum markets, finishing at the UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase in London.
VeilNet selected for NextQ, Australia's national quantum accelerator
We're in the second cohort of NextQ, run by Quantum Australia and backed by the Australian Government. It's the next step in taking sovereign post-quantum networking from pre-release to market.
The third generation of VeilNet: post-quantum from the root up
We started building on NIST's new post-quantum standards in February 2025. The third generation is here: a post-quantum PKI tree for identity, a gossip mesh keyed with ML-KEM, AI-driven routing and a high-performance Go core, open for evaluation now.
