I built Sessionbus so coding agents can work together across products and machines. 8 integrations, one open protocol for messaging and managed tasks. Here: Codex, Claude Code and Grok collaborating across 3 hosts. github.com/antst/sessionbus Feedback welcome.

“The last algorithm” is a myth. The real shift isn’t post-quantum crypto, it’s the end of static identity. PKI must adapt to short-lived credentials and continuous trust. Crypto-agility = surviving constant change. kuppingercole.com/events/eic…
