2022 was a big year in the cryptographic security community. If you don’t have news alerts set up for the latest updates on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), here’s a quick overview
Java’s recent Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) vulnerability underscores the fact that organizations cannot rely solely on outside vendors for effective cybersecurity. The financial services industry must evolve its encryption and key management strategies in line with its changing infrastructure models, advocating an inside-out approach that has proven itself over time.
Cryptography is the backbone of data security technology. In this article, Jo Lintzen, MD at Cryptomathic Inc. explains the preparations for post-quantum cryptography standards and the importance of future-proofing how we use cryptography to protect data in the advent of quantum computing and beyond.
While the science and technology behind quantum computers is extremely complex, their computing power has been steadily increasing, from 3 qubits in 1998, to 7 qubits in 2000, to 12 qubits in 2006, and up to 72 qubits in 2018.
The phrase “…Software is eating the world.” was famously used by Marc Andreessen in a WSJ article in 2011. It is now 2020, and one could argue that software has successfully eaten the world.
Most people will probably agree that encrypting your sensitive data is the right thing to do. Not only is it the technique of choice to meet multiple compliance mandates, depending on the market your business operates in, this might be PCI, HIPAA, NERC-CIP or more general regulations like GDPR or PSD2. Encryption also helps you to achieve a higher level of resilience against data breaches and ultimately protects your organization from the impacts on reputation and the costs involved.
