Podcast EP244: A Review of the Coming Post-Quantum Cryptography Revolution with Sebastien Riou
Dan is joined by Sebastien Riou. Director of Product Security Architecture at PQShield. Sebastien has more than 15 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, focusing on achieving “banking grade security” on resource-constrained ICs such as smart cards and mobile secure elements. Formerly of Tiempo-Secure, he helped create the world’s first integrated secure element IP achieving CC EAL5+ certification.
Sebastien discusses post-quantum cryptography and why the US Government’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is pushing for implementation of new, quantum resistant security now. Sebastian explains how the new standards are evolving and what dynamics are at play to deploy those standards across a wide range of systems, both large and small. The special considerations for open source are also discussed.
Sebastien describes the broad hardware and software offerings of PQShield and the rigorous verification and extensive documentation that are available to develop systems that are ready for the coming quantum computing threat to traditional security measures.
