by Marin Ivezic From the article:“[…]A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Tim Palmer, an emeritus professor of physics at Oxford, proposed that quantum computers might face a hard, physics-imposed ceiling of roughly 1,000 useful qubits — far too few, Palmer argued, to ever break RSA-2048. […]the paper doesn’t… Read more »
From the Google Security blog post:“We are beginning tests of PQC enhancements starting in the next Android 17 beta, followed by general availability in the Android 17 production release. This deployment introduces a comprehensive architectural upgrade that is being rolled out across the operating system. By integrating the recently finalized NIST PQC standards deep into… Read more »
Google is introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration (Heather Adkins, VP, Security Engineering at Google). From Google Keyword blog post:“Last month, we called to secure the quantum era before a future quantum computer can break current encryption. This new timeline reflects migration needs for the PQC era… Read more »
From the blog post:“Servo now leads other browsers in support for new Web Cryptography algorithms! This includes full support for ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and AES-OCB.” An article by German IT professionals magazine iX, discussing the update can be found under: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Browser-engine-Servo-0-0-5-released-with-post-quantum-cryptography-11195613.html
A blog post by Jan Schaumann from Akamai. From the blog post:“[…] Since all of these services are using TLS for traffic encryption and endpoint authentication, upgrading these services to use the Post-Quantum/Traditional (PQ/T) hybrid key exchange algorithm […] will likewise help protect them against the quantum threat. However, other applications and services use different… Read more »
From the document:“Why Government and Defense Requires a Sector Extension The Universal PQC Migration Framework provides a comprehensive 8-phase methodology applicable to any enterprise. Government and defense organizations can and should follow that methodology. However, this sector faces a unique combination of constraints that make PQC migration simultaneously more urgent, more regulated, and more complex… Read more »
…, the French National Cybersecurity Agency, to their recommendations on algorithms & hybrids: From the webpage:“Cryptography has seen major developments over the past few decades. Although its evolution is far from complete—as evidenced, for example, by the relatively recent emergence of new families of asymmetric algorithms presumed to be resistant to quantum threats—it appears to… Read more »
… by the Trust in Digital Life Initiative (TDL), as reported by research institute CODE (Universität der Bundeswehr München): From the webpage:“The threat posed by future quantum computers to traditional public key cryptography makes the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) a key strategic task. As part of the Trust in Digital Life (TDL) initiative, international… Read more »
Article as part of the Centre for Cybersecurity at World Econimic Forum, written by Anna Sarnek & Michael Brett (AWS): From the online article: Quantum computing is often framed as a future concern. For security leaders, that framing is already outdated. The risk of quantum computing is not defined solely by when a sufficiently powerful… Read more »
From the page” Toshiba Europe Limited today announced a new capability that enables the interconnection of geographically separated quantum key distribution (QKD) networks without the need for additional hardware. This capability allows network operators to offer their customers global quantum‑resistant connectivity, enhancing protection of sensitive data against retrospective decryption by future quantum computers. […] In… Read more »
