Australia could become the world’s first quantum computing nation — but it won’t come without controversy. Continue reading Unpacking Australia’s $1 Billion Bet On a Future World-Class Quantum Computer
Although quantum processors exist today, they are still a long way off from becoming practical replacements for classical computers. This is due to many practical considerations, not the least of …read more Continue reading IBM’s Latest Quantum Supercomputer Idea: the Hybrid Classical-Quantum System
Although quantum computing is not yet widespread, current encryption methods pose a significant risk of cyberattacks, the agency said. Continue reading Security Experts Welcome NIST’s New Encryption Standards For Quantum Computers
From the Federal Register:
After three rounds of evaluation and analysis, NIST selected four algorithms it will standardize as a result of the PQC Standardization Process. The public-key encapsulation mechanism selected was CRYSTALS-KYBER, along with three digital signature schemes: CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+.
These algorithms are part of three NIST standards that have been finalized:
Continue reading NIST Releases First Post-Quantum Encryption Algorithms
NIST has finalized its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from a quantum computer. The announced algorithms are specified in the first completed standards from NIST’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standardizatio… Continue reading NIST releases finalized post-quantum encryption standards
76% of security leaders recognize the pressing need to move to shorter certificate lifespans to improve security, according to Venafi. However, many feel unprepared to take action, with 77% saying the shift to 90-day certificates will mean more outages… Continue reading Shorter TLS certificate lifespans expected to complicate management efforts
I’m researching strategies to detect the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attack, also known as “store now, decrypt later” or “retrospective decryption.”
This surveillance approach involves acquiring and storing currently unreadable encrypted … Continue reading Detecting “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Attacks Using AI/ML Models
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… Continue reading Preparing for Q-Day as NIST nears approval of PQC standards
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) company PQShield has raised $37 million in Series B funding for its quantum-safe cryptography solutions.
The post Post-Quantum Cryptography Firm PQShield Raises $37 Million appeared first on SecurityWeek.

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a hot topic. A recent paper from Tsinghua University raised doubts about lattice-based cryptography for PQC, though an error was found. This has sparked questions about the strength of soon-to-be-standardized PQC algo… Continue reading Preparing for a post-quantum future
