From the moment states learned to turn intercepted signals into strategic advantage, cryptography has been more than a technical craft: it has been a way of organising power. Today, more powerful computation is reshaping that contest in distinctive ways. The risk is not only that tomorrow's machines may read today's encrypted archives, but that the mere possibility of future decryption changes what rivals collect, what institutions must protect, and how long trust can reasonably last.
Quantum Deterrence explains the strategic implications of post-quantum cryptography without treating it as a single technological cliff-edge. Kenan Durveil shows how encryption standards shift, why key management is often the true point of failure, and how "harvest now decrypt later" turns long-lived data into a reserve of influence. Moving across protocols, certificates, archives, and constrained communications, the book focuses on the institutional realities that determine outcomes: legacy systems that cannot be updated, vendors that set defaults for the world, and governance structures that struggle to own long-horizon risk.
Written for students, general readers, and policy and security audiences, the book provides a clear framework for cryptographic migration as a coordination and credibility problem. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of which systems are most exposed, why capability gaps can produce asymmetric advantage, and what deterrence can mean when secrecy may fail after the fact. The central lesson is durable: in a world where mathematics and machines keep advancing, the decisive question is whether institutions can change as quickly as the threat model does.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
