Formal verification is becoming essential in the design and implementation of cryptographic systems, particularly as the industry prepares for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). While traditional testing techniques validate correctness over a finite set of scenarios, formal verification uses mathematical proofs to guarantee… Read More
In the late 1970s, cryptographic history saw the emergence of two seminal algorithms: McEliece and RSA. At that time, quantum threats were theoretical, and the selection criteria for cryptographic algorithms prioritized public key length and execution time, leading to RSA’s prominence while McEliece remained obscure… Read More
In our interconnected world, systems ranging from smart cities and autonomous vehicles to industrial control systems and healthcare devices have become everyday components of our lives. This fusion of physical and digital systems has led to a term called cyber-physical system (CPS). Ubiquitous connectivity is exposing the… Read More
Dr Ali El Kaafarani is the founder and CEO of PQShield, a British cybersecurity startup specialising in quantum-secure solutions. A University of Oxford spin-out, PQShield is pioneering the commercial roll-out of a new generation of cryptography that’s fit for the quantum challenge, yet integrates with companies’ legacy
