Key Trends For 2025 Part I: Postquantum Cryptography
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, December 31st, 2024
In 2025, postquantum cryptography (PQC) will drive major transformations in the PKI space, with announcements of PQC capabilities, adoption of quantum-safe Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), and standardized PQC algorithms in private PKI. Organizations must adapt early to safeguard sensitive data and stay ahead of emerging quantum threats.
It's that time of year again where we reflect on what happened within our industry in 2024 and look ahead at what's to come in 2025. Educated predictions allow us to put our best foot forward on forecasting the industry's anticipated needs and help organizations effectively plan for the future. As we look ahead to 2025, the digital certificate and Private Key Infrastructure (PKI) space is set to undergo significant shift. Some of the major transformations we'll see in 2025 will be driven by postquantum cryptography (PQC).
Let's look at three key trends under this umbrella:
