How Post-Quantum Cryptography Can Ensure Resilience
TechNative, Monday, July 15th, 2024
For several years, quantum computing has been a question of when, not if - but it's accelerating fast, and organizations must start preparing now for its impact.
Quantum computing brings new security implications: because its compute power is significantly higher than that of conventional computers, it could decrypt the encryption that lies at the heart of digital security.
The National Security Agency (NSA) released an updated Commercial National Security Algorithm (CSNA) paper with recommendations and guidance on implementing post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The NSA is recommending that all organizations become post-quantum secure by 2030.
It's an aggressive timeline that underscores the severity of the problem. And it highlights the reality that current encryption methodologies won't suffice.
