The Czech Cybersecurity Agency NUKIB would like to draw your attention to the “harvest now, decrypt later” method and its study on the matter from April 23rd 2025: In addition to its benefits for many industries, quantum computing poses a potential threat to cybersecurity. This is that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could in the future… Read more »
Cloudflare, a content delivery network who has been researching and writing about post-quantum since 2017, has deployed and is actively expanding the use of post-quantum hybrid key agreement, to protect users against the risk of “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. It is furthermore considering all connections that take place for websites or applications on their systems. Recently,… Read more »
As announced in the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27863, Microsoft is “[…] adding support for post-quantum signature algorithm ML-DSA in NCrypt and BCrypt cryptography API surfaces, as well as Crypt32 certificate APIs. Three variants are supported, ML-DSA 44, 65, and 87.” Putting this very technical information into the context of Microsoft’s general strategy on PQC,… Read more »
In a recently published preprint (available via arxiv), Craig Gidney, a Quantum Research Scientist explains How to factor 2048 bit RSA integers with less than a million noisy qubits – research he has been conducting at Google AI Quantum. In a corresponding blogpost on the matter and its implications on encryption, he states that in order to… Read more »
July 15 to 19, 2025 (additional research session: July 21 to August 22, 2025) CEMRACS 2025 is a six-week international summer school that has been organized by SMAI every summer since 1996 at the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM), located in the beautiful Luminy campus near Marseille. The 2025 edition will focus on Quantum Computing, with… Read more »
The EU plans to make digital encryption completely quantum-safe by 2035 at the latest. As quantum computers grow more and more powerful, qbit by qbit, experts on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) have laid a basis for secure encryption in recent years with new algorithms. But if they are to win the race by 2035, they have their work cut out… Read more »
We use various methods to keep our Q-PrEP community up to date on trends and new developments in the field of PQC.These include our monthly newsletters (News & Newsletter – Q-PrEP), LinkedIn channel (https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/q-prep/), workshops, white papers and our webinars. Our webinars take place monthly – every first Friday of the month (or following Friday,… Read more »
April 28 – May 1, 2025 San Francisco > sessions available on demand online For 32 years, RSAC™ Conference has been a driving force behind the world’s cybersecurity community. And over that time, we’ve seen the need to expand our mission beyond yearly Conferences. Because cyberthreats are constantly evolving, and we as a community must continue… Read more »
