Independent research setting out regulator and industry perspectives on the current plan for transition to post-quantum cryptography – from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. From the article: “[…] Government and commercial organisations worldwide are making significant investments to develop cryptographically-relevant quantum computers. Within the next decade, quantum computers could be able to break… Read more »

… is what Bas Westerbaan reports on the Cloudflare Blog. He wrote: “[…] Unfortunately, quantum computers also excel at breaking key cryptography that still is in common use today, such as RSA and elliptic curves (ECC). Thus, we are moving to post-quantum cryptography: cryptography designed to be resistant against quantum attack. We’ll discuss the exact… Read more »

In his article published via the Red Hat Developer Community Jakub Jelen explains the process of signing RPM packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, RHEL 10.1 using cryptographic keys resistant to quantum computers yet to be developed in the near future. This is for developers and vendors interested in protecting their software with stronger signatures… Read more »

Press release by Bundesdruckerei (in German): Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): Preparatory work completed to equip the next generation of ID cards with chips protected against quantum-computer attacks. It is said as “A decisive step toward the future security of digital identities”. Technical foundation jointly developed by Bundesdruckerei, Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and… Read more »

AWS Private Certificate Authority (AWS Private CA) now enables you to create certificate authorities (CAs) and issue certificates that use Module Lattice-based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA). This feature enables you to begin transitioning your public key infrastructure (PKI) towards post-quantum cryptography, allowing you to put protections in place now to protect the security of your… Read more »

Cybernetica has been awarded three strategic procurements by the Estonian government to lead the nation’s transition of e-governance systems to post-quantum cryptography (PQC): More information: https://cyber.ee/resources/news/estonia-pqc-transition/ Origin of text: https://cyber.ee/resources/news/estonia-pqc-transition/Foto von Ethan Currier auf Unsplash

The development of quantum computers threatens to render obsolete certain cryptographic algorithms used to secure telecommunications networks. Faced with the risks of retroactive compromise via “store now, decrypt later” attacks and the potentially severe consequences for customer privacy and service continuity, EU Member States are working to ensure a coordinated transition to post-quantum cryptography in… Read more »

Announced on the webpage of the BSI The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has worked with manufacturers of IT security products for the protection of classified information (VS-NfD) to set binding deadlines for the transition to quantum-secure cryptography. At a workshop convened by the BSI in September, it was agreed that IT security… Read more »
