Crypto modernization timeline starting to take shape
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) might be a lower priority for many organizations, with the specter of quantum-based cracking seemingly far off. Government agencies are fully sensitized to the cracking risks and the investments needed to mitigate them and are busy laying 10-year plans for migration to quantum-safe encryption.… Read More
WEBINAR: Secure messaging in a post-quantum world
In a recent marketing campaign, WhatsApp (and by extension, its parent company Meta) mocks the ubiquitous but unsecure messaging vehicle, SMS, saying anyone can read plain texts and mobile users should use some means of secure messaging. Apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage, and WeChat have each attracted over 1 billion … Read More
NIST Standardizes PQShield Algorithms for International Post-Quantum Cryptography
News of cyberattacks is routine these days in spite of the security mechanisms built into widely used electronics systems. It is not surprising that entities involved with ensuring safe and secure systems are continually working on enhancing encryption/decryptions mechanisms. Recently NIST standardized cryptography algorithms… Read More
Post-quantum cryptography steps on the field
In cybersecurity circles, the elephant in the room is a quantum computer in the hands of nefarious actors. A day is coming, soon, when well-funded organizations will be able to rent time on, or maybe even build or buy a quantum machine. Then, if data is valuable enough, people will hunt for it. Two or three months of compute time on a … Read More
