Quantum computing is still cutting-edge, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. What is quantum computing? Is it the same as quantum cryptography, a central tenet of so-called quantum security? And where does artificial intelligence (AI) fit in? What Is Quantum Security? Often when you hear about quantum computing in terms of security, it’s…

Vulnerabilities

Issued by: Help Net Security

To achieve long-term data protection in today’s fast-changing and uncertain world, companies need the ability to respond quickly to unforeseen events. Threats like quantum computing are getting more real while cryptographic algorithms are subject to decay or compromise. Without the ability to identify, manage and replace vulnerable keys and certificates quickly and easily, companies are…

Network Security

Issued by: Help Net Security

The verdict is in: quantum computing poses an existential threat to asymmetric cryptography algorithms like RSA and ECC that underpin practically all current Internet security. This comes straight from the National Academy of Science’s Committee on Technical Assessment of the Feasibility and Implications of Quantum Computing. The inevitable follow-up: OK, so how much time do…

The race to quantum supremacy and its cybersecurity impact

Quantum computing uses the power of atoms to perform memory and processing tasks and remains a theoretical concept. However, it is widely believed that its creation is possible. Most experts now agree that the creation of a quantum computer is simply a matter of engineering, and that the theoretical application will happen. Optimistic estimates for…
