Post-Quantum Cryptography: Safeguarding The Future Of Digital Security
By Dana Neustadter - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

As technological advancements surge forward, the specter of quantum computing looms ever larger. While the promise of quantum computers holds the potential to revolutionize fields like weather forecasting, drug discovery, and fundamental physics, it also harbors a significant threat to our current cryptographic systems. The risk is not just a future concern; any sensitive data intercepted today... » read more

98 Hardware Security Failure Scenarios (NIST)
By Technical Paper Link - 03 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Hardware Security Failure Scenarios: Potential Hardware Weaknesses" was published by NIST. Abstract "Hardware is often assumed to be robust from a security perspective. However, chips are both created with software and contain complex encodings (e.g., circuit designs and firmware). This leads to bugs, some of which compromise security. This publication evaluate... » read more

CSIS issued a new report that says Intel is "not too big to fail, but too good to lose." The report noted that Intel is needed for national security, and that it must be viewed in a geopolitical context rather than from a purely business standpoint when it comes to funding the company. Japan's government is creating a 10 trillion yen (~$65 billion) fund for next-gen technologies, including A... » read more
