Thread the Needle: Preparing for the Post-Quantum Future with FABRIC

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are using FABRIC, a US national research testbed, to develop and validate PQSee, an open-source tool that measures post-quantum cryptography adoption. By providing visibility across geographically distributed networks, the project helps organisations in North America prepare their infrastructure for emerging quantum security threats.
