Post-Quantum Credentials: What Secret Detection Needs to Know

How the transition to post-quantum cryptography affects secret scanning tools.

As organizations begin adopting post-quantum key formats (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), secret detection tools need to recognize these new credential patterns. We discuss the impact on TruffleHog's detector library, the challenge of longer key sizes, and our roadmap for post-quantum secret detection support.
