Embracing the Quantum Era: Navigating the Quantum Shift With PQC

The evolution of computing has always involved significant technological advancements. The latest advancements are a giant leap into quantum computing era. Early computers, like the ENIAC, were large and relied on vacuum tubes for basic calculations. The invention of transistors and integrated circuits in the mid-20th century led to smaller, more efficient computers. The development of microprocessors in the 1970s enabled the creation of personal computers, making technology accessible to the public. Over the decades,…

The Quantum Sky Is Falling! Understanding the Quantum Threat to Network Security

Confidentiality is a fundamental pillar of information security. In sensitive deployments, such as those involving federal governments, military and defense agencies, and large financial institutions, the demand for confidentiality extends well beyond the typical 5 to 10 years, often reaching 20 years or more. The same also applies to telecom operators and enterprises providing services to any of these critical agencies. With the existing classical computers, this requirement of forward secrecy for encryption could be…

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,…

Quantum Cloud Computing Secured in New Breakthrough at Oxford

Businesses are one step closer to quantum cloud computing, thanks to a breakthrough made in its security and privacy by scientists at Oxford University. The researchers used an approach dubbed ‘blind quantum computing’ to connect two quantum computing entities (Figure A); this simulates the situation where an employee at home or in an office remotely connects to a quantum server via the cloud. With this method, the quantum server provider does not need to know…
