Quantum-proof encryption introduces a set of algorithms that ensures protection for organizations of any size. Unfortunately, the current decade-old public key cryptography technology that many organizations rely on today will be broken and will not be able to withstand the deployment of quantum computers in the near future.
13 members of Forbes Technology Council share potential risks that industries and societies could face with the rise of quantum computing and why they’re so concerning.
Even when PQC algorithms are mathematically secure, they can potentially be broken by a class of exploits known as side-channel attacks. These attacks exploit the algorithm implementation in hardware or software rather than the underlying mathematical problem itself and underline how important it is that any side-channel vulnerabilities are identified and addressed before solutions are widely rolled out.
Arqit Quantum Inc. has signed a contract with Nine23 Ltd, a cyber security solutions provider for U.K. regulated and compliant sectors, to deploy Arqit’s QuantumCloud™, a symmetric key agreement software, on Nine23’s U.K. Sovereign Secure Private Cloud infrastructure – Platform FLEX – to provide the highest level of assurance for its customers.
[A]ttention is turning to quantum networking as a path to mitigating security threats posed by quantum computing while simultaneously scaling the potential of quantum technology to solve problems we cannot tackle using classical technology alone.
The United States Army has released a validation report confirming that Entanglement AI’s cybersecurity solution on Groq technology – specifically a GroqNode™ – and simultaneously using quantum and classical algorithms for anomaly detection, is running the world’s fastest Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (“QUBO”) Solver, noted in the report as “dramatically faster and more accurate… – with far fewer false positives – than any known technology.”
Rivada Space Networks (RSN) is partnering with SpeQtral to demonstrate the technical compatibility of adding a QKD encryption layer to enhance the security of communications over low earth orbit satellite constellations.
To determine where post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and conventional cryptography will need to be implemented, businesses will need to understand what of their data needs protecting and what will be worthless to cybercriminals.
AUCloud, a provider of sovereign Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and Arqit Quantum, a provider in quantum-safe encryption, announced general availability to the Asia Pacific region of the first Quantum Safe Symmetric Key Agreement Software.
Although many organizations are waiting for post-quantum threats to become tangible before taking action against them, other providers like Content Delivery Network (CDN) giant Cloudflare are diving straight in and responding with quantum-safe solutions.
