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…

Google Announces Quantum-Safe Digital Signatures in Cloud KMS

Google announced on Thursday the development of quantum-safe digital signatures (FIPS 204/FIPS 205) in Google Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS) for software-based keys. This is available in preview. The search giant also provided a high-level view into its post-quantum strategy for Google Cloud encryption products, including Cloud KMS and the Cloud Hardware Security Module (Cloud HSM). More Google news & tips Mounting concern over public-key cryptography systems This is significant, the company said, because…

IBM on Future Cybersecurity: Passkeys, Deepfakes, Quantum Computing

“The internet will be a lot safer in five years than it is today, thanks to technological advances that address common problems at scale.” This prediction by Chris Hockings, CTO of IBM Asia Pacific, might seem a bit ambitious given that AI-powered cybercrime is growing at an exponential rate, deepfake technology is enhancing social engineering attacks, and the power of quantum computing is on the horizon. But Hockings spoke with TechRepublic about how he believes…

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…

The Journey: Quantum's Yellow Brick Road

The world of computing is undergoing a revolution with two powerful forces converging: Quantum Computing (QC) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). While GenAI is generating excitement, it’s still finding its footing in real-world applications. Meanwhile, QC is rapidly maturing, offering solutions to complex problems in fields like drug discovery and material science. This journey, however, isn’t without its challenges. Just like Dorothy and her companions in the Wizard of Oz, we face obstacles along the…

(20)24 x 7 Tech Trends: AI Readiness, Adoption and Integration

Technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and predictions about coming trends are always a topic of debate – what’s real, what’s hype. While there’s always a wave of excitement around the next big thing, I think the last year has been different. Advancements in AI, especially generative AI (GenAI), are leading to a once-in-a-generation shift. This is opening vast new opportunities and transforming industries, modes of operation, and career paths. Not surprisingly this…
