Ensuring Your Encryption is Defended

The warnings are becoming more prolific: Quantum is coming and it’s going to crack encryption. Not necessarily all types of encryption will be readily hackable by quantum computers. There are several defenses one could enable, today: Cryptographic agility, doubling your symmetric key size from today’s average key size, implementation of post-quantum computing algorithms which have been proven resistant to hacking by QCs, and allowing your encryption suite to encode with both current and post-quantum computing algorithms.

Higher Efficiency Quantum Computing Breakthrough

Rutgers University of New Brunswick researchers have produced a new material known as a “Quantum Anomalous Hall Insulator”. Using multiple layering and combinations of chromium, vanadium, antimony, bismuth, and tellurium, the insulator was etched into the Hall bar shape manually. Further enhancing efficiency was a 15nm layer of gold to reduce electrical interference in the system
