A comprehensive approach to CNSA 2.0 compliance at an MCU level for IoT applications.
Quantum computers of appropriate power are expected to break traditional public-key encryption such as ECC and RSA. Quantum computers that will be able to mount attacks on public-key cryptography are commonly referred to as ‘Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers’ (CRQCs). Betting on the future existence of CRQCs, attackers may also harvest encrypted data today and to decrypt it later once CRQCs are available. This capability may enable attackers to disrupt critical infrastructure, such as power grids, data centers, financial systems, and healthcare networks, when encryption and authentication systems are compromised.
In this white paper, we discuss in accessible terms what quantum computing is, what’s driving its growth, the biggest threats surrounding it, and why there is significant interest in post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We then show how you can protect your system using PSOC Control C3 Performance Line’s comprehensive approach that follows the guidelines defined in the Commercial National Security Algorithm 2.0 (CNSA 2.0) suite.
