LTIMindtree, a global tech company, introduced a Quantum-Safe Virtual Private Network (VPN) at its London site, enhancing data protection against potential decryption threats. This VPN applies Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), utilizing quantum-based key generation and secure key delivery methods that align with NIST standards for data security.
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.
Let’s pump the brakes on the quantum panic. Yes, these research findings are potentially a big deal for national security purposes.
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.
Although quantum technologies are still in the early stages, exciting work is happening in Europe, where quantum tech provides secure communications on the ground. Groups led by the European Commission will extend them into space to develop complementary networks of distant nodes.
The quantum threat is existential, not just an impact to the bottom line and insurance paperwork. We have quantum security tools available today, but even those are insufficient against a state-level attack, just like airbags are meaningless against a hellfire missile shot from a predator drone.
Arqit Quantum Inc. announced it has signed with Dell Technologies Dell agrees to preload Arqit’s QuantumCloud™ software on selected Dell hardware devices.
The Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act has passed the U.S. Senate’s Wickets and is now only one signature from law.
Founder and CEO Bart Slowik created SylLab Systems, which is based on post-quantum cryptography to push peers into considering that exact future.
Forward-thinking banks are investigating advanced quantum computing technologies as a possible solution. QCI’s industry-leading Enropty Quantum Computing system and its application to machine learning processes have demonstrated the potential to improve fraud detection techniques through faster computation and increased accuracy.
