Preparing for a post-quantum future amid machine identities

Preparing for a post-quantum future amid machine identities

The world of technology is abuzz with the potential of quantum computing — a report estimates the quantum computing market to balloon from $10.13 billion in 2022 to a staggering $125 billion by 2030, reflecting a powerful 36%+ compound annual growth rate (CAGR). These powerful machines promise to revolutionize fields like materials science, drug discovery and artificial intelligence. However, amidst the excitement lies a potential threat: quantum computers have the ability to break current encryption…

NIST's New Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards Announced

NIST's New Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards Announced

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology this week unveiled three encryption algorithms designed to resist cyberattacks, which industry observers said are a positive step toward preventing cyberattacks that break current encryption methods. The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 203, 204, and 205 provide standards for general encryption and protecting digital signatures. They were derived from multiple submissions in NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standardization project. Quantum computers are rapidly increasing the ability for high-performance computing,…

Safeguard Your Network in a Post-Quantum World

Safeguard Your Network in a Post-Quantum World

Security is critical when transmitting information over any untrusted medium, particularly with the internet. Cryptography is typically used to protect information over a public channel between two entities. However, there is an imminent threat to existing cryptography with the advent of quantum computers. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), “When quantum computers are a reality, our current public key cryptography won’t work anymore… So, we need to start designing now what…

Microsoft Improves Windows Security with a Path to Move Off NTLM

Microsoft Improves Windows Security with a Path to Move Off NTLM

NTLM is a simple and straightforward authentication method for connecting to applications on enterprise servers, but it’s also outdated and insecure. Despite that, NTLM is still widely used, partly because of inertia but also because the preferred replacement Kerberos doesn’t currently cope with some important scenarios. Now Microsoft plans to extend Kerberos in the versions of Windows and Windows Server that will ship in the next two years to help organizations move off NTLM. Here’s…
