Fixing Cryptography Before It Is Broken

Ever since Peter Shor showed how a quantum computer could factorize large numbers with exponential speedup, it has been known that quantum computers could become a threat to most cryptographic algorithms currently in use.

Securing Your Information in the Quantum Era

Quantum computing brings many benefits, but can’t be at the expense of data and system security. Internet traffic has seen a staggering, albeit expected increase since the pandemic. Everything from online gaming, shopping, learning, banking, and streaming services, have all experienced an immense boost in consumption, as society has sought to survive and escape reality.

The Quantum Revolution – Why You Should Pay Attention Now

If you haven’t heard about quantum computers yet, you may have been spending too much time in the server room, but you will be forgiven if you have missed the numerous recent news articles demonstrating the pace of advancements in quantum computing and just how close we are to them becoming reality. And the answer is ‘sooner than you think’.  The technology giants we are familiar with today such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and IBM are investing hugely in this revolutionary technology, alongside an increasing multitude of innovative well-funded start-ups. But why bother?

Why quantum and data protection should go hand in hand Read More… +  The era of quantum computing is fast approaching, and with it the greatest threat to cryptography at a scale never seen before. A quantum computer will be able to break RSA-2048, considered the gold standard for Public Key Encryption (PKE), the system […]

How Much Longer? Threat of Quantum Computing Still 5-10 Years Out

Fact check: Quantum computing may transform cybersecurity eventually – but not yet Then Intel Corp. CEO Brian Krzanich delivers a keynote address at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Quantum computing has made great progress in certain areas of technology, including chip development. But important to note actual quantum computers are not here. Not yet. […]

NIST: PQC Finalists to be Named ‘Roughly’ by the End of 2021

…but they (as well as we) still think quantum computing sufficient to break codes are 10 to 20 years off. That timeframe gets one day further with each new dawn. None the less, quantum is coming. Even if winter sets in first. Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit Post-quantum cryptographic standards to be finalized later this […]
