Following my series on quantum computing (QC), it is timely to look again at what is still the most prominent real-world concern around this technology: its ability to hack classical security methods for encryption and related tasks. Given what I have written on the topic, an understandable counter would be that QC is still in development… Read More

Webinar: Why AI-Assisted Security Verification For Chip Design is So Important
It is well-known that AI is everywhere, and the incredible power of this new technology is enabled by highly complex, purpose-built silicon. But there is a silent enemy of this substantial, world-changing progress. Something that has the power to steal a bright future from all of us. The hardware root of trust for those advanced… Read More
The Quantum Threat: Why Industrial Control Systems Must Be Ready and How PQShield Is Leading the Defense
Industrial control systems (ICS) underpin the world’s most critical infrastructure: power grids, manufacturing plants, transportation networks, water systems, oil and gas facilities, and chemical processing operations. For decades, these systems relied on isolation, proprietary communication protocols, and hardware… Read More
A Six-Minute Journey to Secure Chip Design with Caspia
Hardware-level chip security has become an important topic across the semiconductor ecosystem. Thanks to sophisticated AI-fueled attacks, the hardware root of trust and its firmware are now vulnerable. And unlike software security, an instantiated weakness cannot be patched. The implications of such vulnerabilities are… Read More
Think Quantum Computing is Hype? Mastercard Begs to Disagree
Just got an opportunity to write a blog on PQShield, and I’m delighted for several reasons. Happy to work with a company based in Oxford and happy to work on a quantum computing-related topic, which you’ll find I will be getting into more deeply over coming months. (Need a little relief from a constant stream of AI topics.) Also important,… Read More
