Schneier on Security: In the Coming Years We’ll Be Facing a Double Uncertainty
As the new cryptanalytic results demonstrate, we’re still learning a lot about how to turn hard mathematical problems into public-key cryptosystems.
‘Like Y2K’: Will Quantum Computing Be the End of Cryptocurrencies?
Everything that currently exists right now will need to be retrofitted. And that is a big, big job. It’s a bit trite to say, but… equate it to the whole Y2K issue…
WISeKey: Substantial Implementation Progress of Post-quantum Algorithms in Secure Semiconductors
The WISeKey’s team of experts is working with several NIST’s candidates for the MS600X Common Criteria products: Crystals-Kyber for key exchange mechanism, and Crystals-Dilithium for signatures.
While Nobody Can Be Certain if Quantum Computing Will Ever Really Pose a Security Risk Itself, Quantum Apocalypse Prep Surely Will
Someday — maybe in five, 10 or 20 years — mega-powerful computing systems that harness the very weird properties of quantum mechanics could achieve the unthinkable, and obliterate the current methods of encryption that the internet depends on for security.
Study: AES-Based Symmetric Cryptography Threatened by Variational Quantum Attacks
Recently, [scientists], proposed a quantum attack scheme for symmetric cryptography, which may lead to a deadly threat to the security of symmetric cryptography such as AES.
Is It Too Little, Too Late for U.S. CISA’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Initiative?
Scott Bledsoe, CEO at Theon, said while passing of the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act is a symbolic move in the right direction, it may be just a little too late.
NIST Announces Collaborating Vendors in the Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Project
Although NIST has announced their first selections of recommended algorithms to use for PQC, there is still a great amount of work to do.
NIST Algorithms Finally Bring Clarity and Certainty to the Business Community
The key takeaway from the recent NIST announcement is that the NIST algorithms finally bring clarity and certainty to the business community as they transition from algorithms such as RSA encryption to a new, tangible PQC framework.
Thales’ Falcon Algorithm Is a New Standard in Post-quantum Cryptography
Thales has been at the forefront of post-quantum cryptography research since 2013, and the selection of the Falcon algorithm by NIST is great recognition of the excellent co-development work and expertise of our crypto teams
