Cosmian’s Post

Going to take a quick detour from my planned post to discuss a question one of my friends brought up (yes, mom I do have REAL friends!). So, the other day I saw this: https://lnkd.in/dNB7VCMk There is a lot to unpack there with quantum computing and the like, which we will cover in future posts. The big takeaway to everyone from this though should be that if and when quantum computers are ready, we will need new algorithms that protect our data. If you are like me, you may say “algorithms, what is this, algebra class? What do algorithms have to do with cybersecurity?” First off, this starts with encryption. Think of encryption as scrambling. I send you a message that says “I love you” but I encrypt it so it says “skjhdsajh.” When you receive my message, you will need to know how I encrypted it so you can decrypt it and read it. Hopefully you send back “I love you too,” but it’s ok if you don’t, I’ll just cry about it in my room. The reason we encrypt is so that only the sender and receiver get the message. If anyone else were to listen, they would just see the jumble and not “I love you.” (I wouldn’t want anyone else getting jealous). Now, if I know that my message is just meant for you and I know everything about you, we can make the encryption easy and just agree on our methods (such as keys, ciphers, etc) offline. But let’s say I am a website. I don’t know who is going to be wanting to access my content or how they will access it. So in this case, we need a common, but secure, algorithm that encrypts the data as well as ensures that the website you are talking to is who they say they are. That is where algorithms like RSA and AES come in. With current technology (pre-quantum), these algorithms are very secure and will take a long time to be broken. What the above article is saying is that with quantum, they could be broken. The good news is, there is quantum-ready encryption algorithms already being implemented. The point of the above article is to push companies into using that those algorithms. This will be good and make the internet more secure even if the promise of quantum is not achieved. We’ll dive deeper into a lot of this in other posts, but I do recommend this series from The Art of the Problem to learn more about cryptography: https://lnkd.in/djkS_YHA Feel free to send me any questions you have on this. In the meantime, have a great night and I will talk to you tomorrow. #QuantumComputing #CyberSecurity #Encryption #RSAencryption #AESencryption #QuantumResistance #DataProtection #Cryptography #TechInnovation #DigitalSecurity

Today, information security is at the centre of IT solutions, using a wide range of methods to keep all types of data secure.   However, the rise in quantum computing is set to have increasingly drastic effects on today's existing cryptographic tools which are used to protect organisations’ data. As this technology advances, it has never been more important for organisations to migrate to quantum-safe solutions that are robust against quantum cyber-attacks such as ‘harvest now, decrypt later’.   Read EY’s report to learn how businesses can improve their security for a post-quantum future - creating a quantum-safe environment and protecting against data breaches: https://lnkd.in/emWiEMSH   #Quantum #Technology #Cryptography #CyberSecurity

As quantum computing continues its rapid advancement, cybersecurity professionals and enterprise leaders are beginning to grapple with a future where current encryption technologies - on which our entire digital infrastructure is built - may no longer be secure. This looming threat, known as quantum-enabled cyberattacks, poses a significant challenge to enterprise data security, calling for immediate attention to the development and implementation of quantum-safe cryptographic systems. https://lnkd.in/eGmbUi5q.
