You’ve probably been hearing a lot lately about the quantum-computing threat to cryptography. If so, you probably also have a lot of questions about what this “quantum threat” is and how it will impact your cryptographic solutions. Let’s take a look at some of the most common questions about quantum computing and its impact on cryptography. What is a quantum computer? A quantum comput... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): New Algorithms For A New Era

By Rambus - 10 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), also known as Quantum Safe Cryptography (QSC), refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to withstand attacks by quantum computers. Quantum computers will eventually become powerful enough to break public key-based cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography. Public key-based cryptography is used to protect everything from your online communications... » read more

Side-Channel Attack Protection For Quantum Safe Cryptography

By Bart Stevens - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

A recent Reuters Special Report discussed the race between the US and China to protect digital assets and communications from the potential threat posed by quantum computers. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers, those that are powerful enough to crack existing public key-based encryption methods, could compromise military, economic, and personal information across the globe. While the ... » read more

Quantum Plus AI Widens Cyberattack Threat Concerns

By John Koon - 18 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 1

Quantum computing promises revolutionary changes to the computing paradigm that the semiconductor industry has operated under for decades, but it also raises the prospect of widespread cybersecurity threats. Quantum computing cyberattacks will occur millions of times faster than any assault conventional computing can muster. And while quantum computing is in an early stage of development, ex... » read more

Draft Standards For Quantum Safe Cryptography Are Here

By Bart Stevens - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The world of security is constantly evolving, and in the few short weeks that have passed since my last blog on What It Takes To Make An SoC Design Quantum Safe, there have been some new and exciting developments in the world of quantum safe cryptography. On August 24th, 2023, NIST published the first three draft standards for general-purpose Quantum Safe Cryptography (also known as Post-Quantu... » read more

Protecting Data And Devices Now And In The Quantum Computing Era

By Rambus - 19 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Quantum computing is being pursued across industry, government and academia with tremendous energy and is set to become a reality in the not-so-distant future. Once sufficiently large quantum computers exist, traditional asymmetric cryptographic methods for key exchange and digital signatures will be broken. Many initiatives have been launched throughout the world to develop and deploy new quan... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography: The Algorithms That Will Protect Data In The Quantum Era

By Bart Stevens - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a serious security threat. They will eventually become powerful enough to break traditional asymmetric cryptographic methods, that is, some of the most common security protocols used to protect sensi... » read more

Secure Implementation Of Post-Quantum Crypto In The Spotlight

By Marc Witteman - 04 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

The US-based NIST body takes a leading role in the migration to Post-Quantum Crypto (PQC). After a multi-year selection process, in 2022 they preliminarily identified a number of Post Quantum algorithms, which were recommended to replace the current public key algorithms (RSA, ECC). While the process of scrutiny is still ongoing, they now took another important step by putting emphasis on imple... » read more
