XSOC CORP’s ‘XSOC Cryptosystem’ is Awarded FIPS 140-2 Certification | The XSOC Cryptosystem provides, developers and organizations now have access to one of the most effective data security tools ever developed and leads the data protection and encryption space based on its distinctive strength and speed characteristics. In addition, its small compact size and operational efficiency also classify it as “lightweight” encryption. This combination of strength, speed and “lightweight” efficiency make it the perfect choice for those looking for further leverage encryption in the environment or looking to upgrade or migrate to Quantum-Safe alternatives.  Source: businesswire.   XSOC CORP’s ‘XSOC Cryptosystem’ is Awarded FIPS 140-2 Certification…

Under Quantum Lock And Key | When it comes to securing privacy, you have to sometimes fight fire with fire. Currently, our online transactions and sensitive data are secured by public keys, which can be thought of as large numbers that are ‘unlocked’ by calculating their prime number factors.  Source: ASIANSCIENTIST.   Under Quantum Lock And Key…

Quantum computing could kill what blockchain stands for, but has a UK startup found a way to save it? | With global tech giants and startups aplenty racing towards a quantum future, quantum technology represents everything that’s great about innovation and progression. Being able to solve complex calculations tens of millions of times faster than current computers unlocks tantalising possibilities, from eradicating disease to more acutely understanding climate change.   Source: Maddyness.   Quantum computing could kill what blockchain stands for, but has a UK startup found a way to save it?

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Protecting Today from Tomorrow | The race is on worldwide between data privacy and those criminal and state-sponsored hackers wishing to extirpate the protection of secrets—personal, governmental, and industrial. The threat comes from an ability to crack today’s public-key encryption using future quantum computers.  Source: COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM.   Post-Quantum Cryptography: Protecting Today from Tomorrow…
