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 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
Maybe this will be the new standard method for securing sensitive data and protecting it from malicious cyberattacks, especially those coming from quantum computers?
These encryption tools have been chosen to protect digital systems, networks, and devices from current threats, store now decrypt later attacks on sensitive data, and future quantum computing hacks.
Federal agency reveals the first group of winners from its six-year competition.
Quantum computing is a new strategic technology with wide-reaching implications. The ability to solve problems and perform calculations that no existing classical computer can, or ever will be able to, opens a plethora of strategic opportunities and challenges.
G-7 overlords are not overlooking the quantum threat, but it takes 21+ pages of word salad to get there.
Quantum Day or “Q-Day,” while 5-10 years out, is coming faster than we would like and it represents the day that quantum computers will reliably use the super-positioning power of qubits (i.e., information bits that can assume multiple states at once) to compute the codes needed to break asymmetric encryptions.
The main security benefit behind QKD is the ability of the two communicating parties to detect any attempt to read the quantum state of a photon while it is in the fiber via eavesdropping techniques.
[A]n industry analyst has cautioned that telcos need to carefully consider how they develop, deploy and pitch the innovation so they don’t expend a lot of time, effort and R&D investments in vain.
