AlphaBravo announced its key role as the Lead Integration Partner in developing Quantum Solace, a Quantum Protected Data Platform, in collaboration with Rancher Government Solutions (RGS), Mainsail, Fornetix, and Quantinuum.
QuSecure™, Inc., has announced the launch of its global partner program, aimed at value-added resellers, systems integrators, solutions providers, and managed service providers. This program is a response to the increasing global demand for QuSecure’s post-quantum cryptographic solutions.
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.
Quantum computing is a new and emerging technology that threatens to break the encryption algorithms used in cybersecurity. Currently, the world’s most advanced computers are not capable of deciphering the mathematical algorithms used to protect sensitive data and communications. It could take thousands or even millions of years before the current technology breaks encrypted data.
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.
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.
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.
The protections and purchasing power of contactless payments took a step forward as Mastercard announced the approval of the first cards for issuers that are compatible with the new EMVCo® contactless specifications designed to protect against attacks from both traditional and quantum computers.
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.
