Cybersecurity Coalition Launches to Boost Post-Quantum Cryptography Adoption
A coalition of prominent cybersecurity organizations, including IBM Quantum, Microsoft, MITRE, PQShield, SandboxAQ, and the University of Waterloo, has formed the PQC Coalition to accelerate the global adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This initiative aims to protect sensitive information from the potential vulnerabilities posed by quantum computing.
QuickLogic and Xiphera Partner for Quantum-Resistant Data Protection
QuickLogic Corporation and Xiphera have teamed up to enhance data security with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions. QuickLogic will incorporate Xiphera’s xQlave™ quantum-secure cryptographic IP cores into its eFPGA architecture. As quantum computers pose a growing threat to data security, this partnership aims to bolster encryption against future quantum attacks.
Protecting Your Organization’s Data Before Q-Day
Protecting your data, now, is the best course of action to avoid today’s data being decrypted by tomorrow’s quantum computers. We call this eventuality, “Q-Day”. The day when a quantum computer of sufficient capability can break encryption.
Megaport and Qrypt Demonstrate First of its Kind Global Quantum Secure Data Transmissions
Qrypt and Megaport debuted the ability to transmit data using quantum-secure methods powered by Qrypt quantum key generation technology.
No, RSA Encryption Isn’t Obsolete So Let’s Pump the Brakes on the Quantum Panic
Let’s pump the brakes on the quantum panic. Yes, these research findings are potentially a big deal for national security purposes.
Early Adopters Are Playing an Important Role in Drawing Attention to the Quantum Threat
From seatbelts to GDPR, any time new standards are introduced, their adoption naturally comes with a certain amount of industry upheaval—and that’s exactly what we’re now seeing with post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
Qu Guessed It! 2022 CyberSecured Award for Quantum Computing Goes To…
QuSecure announced that its industry-leading PQC solution QuProtect™ won the 2022 CyberSecured Award, as announced in December by 1105 Media’s Security Today brand, the leading industry media brand providing technology, education and solutions for security professionals.
Quantum Computing Risk to Encryption (Cybersecurity)
Quantum computing is a new and emerging technology that threatens to break the encryption algorithms used in cybersecurity. Currently, the world’s most advanced computers are not capable of deciphering the mathematical algorithms used to protect sensitive data and communications. It could take thousands or even millions of years before the current technology breaks encrypted data.
Counting Down to Quantum? Here’s What Security Teams Need to Know
The migration to quantum-safe algorithms could take several years, and for some industries – like healthcare and financial services – the transition is already underway due to technology lifecycles and long-life data that has to remain secure.
