Q-Day—the day when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer can break most forms of modern encryption—is fast approaching, leaving the complex systems our societies rely on vulnerable to a new wave of cyberattacks. While estimates just a few years old suggested that a quantum computer capable of running Shor’s Algorithm would not be operationally available until 2029 or later, more recent research to produce fault-tolerant #quantum systems, such as the 48 qubit system produced by a team at Harvard, combined with news of PsiQuantum’s million qubit system slated to come online in 2027, suggest that the #QDay horizon, however secretively or publicly it plays out, is coming faster than most anticipated… #news #helpnetsecurity #cybersecurity #infosec #informationsecurity #quantumencryption #quantumcomputer #NIST https://lnkd.in/g3n8StvY

Quantum Computing is coming for sure! Do you want to be ready and use a solution who gives you the agility? What Encryption Key have you used in the past? Where are the files? Where are the certificates which are using weak keys? Contact us at Venafi if you cant´t answer this questions.
As quantum computing advances, the ease of breaking encryption will escalate, creating an intensifying curve of threats. Our Chief Innovation Officer, Kevin Bocek, draws a chilling parallel between the future of cybersecurity threats in a post-quantum world and the notorious Heartbleed bug in the latest from Joao-Pierre Ruth in InformationWeek.

Had some robust conversations with Richard Searle with Fortanix, Kevin Bocek with Venafi, Min-Hank Ho with Baffle, Inc., Michael Osborne with IBM, and Duncan Jones with Quantinuum about the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) future of #cybersecurity. I asked them speak to something organizations might face when #quantum computers become available--and eventually get into bad actors hands: Will it be open season on compute systems that don't have quantum-caliber defenses? Complex answers, not enough space in one story to share everything we discussed. May stitch some of the interviews into a podcast session follow-up this week. If bad actors get their hands on quantum computers, could the market plunge off a cliff into vulnerabilities worse than #Heartbleed?

Exciting developments in the realm of cybersecurity! The Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography project, led by NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, is gaining momentum with over 40 commercial participants on board. Estimates suggest about 20 billion devices will require updates to include PQC safeguarding against quantum decryption attacks. NIST's thorough approach includes four rounds of submissions, with the initial standards covering algorithms from the first three rounds, serving as crucial defenses against quantum threats. The future timeline for quantum computers to decrypt current RSA codes remains uncertain, challenging previous notions of security longevity. For valuable insights into the PQS threat landscape, the Quantum Treat Timeline Report by the Global Risk Institute is a recommended read, offering essential perspectives on this evolving cybersecurity domain. #Kyndryl #QuantumSafe #SandboxAQ #Cybersecurity #PostQuantumCryptography #NIST #CybersecurityThreats #GlobalRiskInstitute

Exciting news from the world of cybersecurity and post-quantum cryptography ! National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently selected 14 post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) signatures for further evaluation and potential public release. This significant step marks a crucial advancement in safeguarding our digital future. These PQC algorithms are designed to withstand the power of quantum computers, which pose a potential threat to traditional encryption methods. As we move closer to a quantum era, it's imperative to adopt robust cryptographic solutions. Stay tuned for more updates on NIST's PQC standardization efforts. #cybersecurity #quantumcomputing #encryption #NIST #PQC #digitalsecurity https://lnkd.in/e9n6B_DP?

We need quantum safe secured environment to confidently build quantum computing solutions to solve critical and complex problems.
CryptoNext Security experts have been involved and did contribute to the NIST 1800-38C special publication: "Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Quantum Readiness: Testing Draft Standards" released in December 2023. The report discusses results of interoperability and performance tests realized using different cryptography protocols (X509, TLS, QUIC...), and based on NIST Post-Quantum draft standards in order to help accelerate adoption by the industry and protection plans against the quantum threat. CryptoNext Security, a leading PQC pioneer, member of the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), alongside major players, is proud to contribute to this critical challenge to the digital world and help Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization. https://lnkd.in/eica3cJ6 #postquantum #cybersecurity
