When it comes to quantum computers, security should come first for financial institutions | From ATMs to high-frequency trading and the current fintech wave, technological innovation in the financial services industry has always had to balance risks like fraud and theft against the new opportunities it brings like access to capital, greater margins and new customers. The coming wave of quantum computers promises more of the same, though on an even greater scale. Worryingly there is a widespread lack of awareness in financial services of the cybersecurity risks posed by quantum technologies. Source: ITProPortal.

How Will Japan’s Cybersecurity Posture Impact its Relations With China? | Japan’s relations with China are underpinned by a delicate balance of economic and national security interests. According to data from the Japan External Trade Organization, China is Japan’s largest trading partner, to which it exported more than $141 billion worth of goods in 2020, compared with $118 billion to the United States. Yet, as highlighted by Japan’s Ministry of Defense, China is also Japan’s most significant geopolitical challenge, a concern shared by the country’s new Prime Minister Kishida Fumio.

Doge Protocol, a Community-Driven Blockchain Project, Released Its Quantum Resistance Whitepaper | The whitepaper on Doge Protocol’s quantum resistance blockchain states the following: It highlights the fact that without a post-quantum cryptographic scheme, not only blockchains but also internet security protocols like TLS will be broken by quantum computers. This is because the underlying cryptographic schemes used in TLS currently are RSA or ECDSA, which are vulnerable to quantum computer attacks using Shor’s algorithm. Source: PR.com.
