Written By: Garrett Bekker, 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence In our last blog post, we discussed the underlying importance of entropy as cryptography advances in terms of requirements and capabilities. One of the most significant advances…
QuintessenceLabs is working with universities and government partners to understand Common Criteria adoption. The universities have compiled a survey to assist their research, and are looking to get as many inputs as possible to get a wide snapshot of industry…
QuintessenceLabs’ qCrypt™ Key & Policy Manager is now the Trusted Security Foundation® (TSF®) Protecting our increasingly digital lives is becoming more difficult than ever before. That is why we are bringing together our existing qCrypt™ key and policy management products…
Can quantum solve cybersecurity’s entropy challenge? Written by Garrett Bekker, Senior Research Analyst, Security – 451 Research Random numbers are used for just about every type of cryptographic operation, including generating SSH keys and public/private key pairs as part of…
Written by Cloud Security Alliance Quantum Safe Security Working Group. A mysterious paper A research paper titled “Quantum Supremacy Using a Programmable Superconducting Processor” briefly appeared last September 21, 2019 on NASA’s Technical Report Server (TRS), but was later removed.…
My initiation into the world of quantum cybersecurity began when my son offered me the excellent “The Code Book” by Simon Singh. The science and logic behind quantum key distribution is really compelling: it uses the laws of physics to…
Superposition, entanglement, spooky action at a distance – quantum physics is truly weird. We are surrounded by quantum devices, such as transistors inside computers and cell phones, GPS systems, medical devices etc., things that only work because they cleverly leverage…
The VMworld 2018 expo starts next week, and if you manage a virtualization deployment (or several!), it’s likely you’ll be attending or at least catching wind of the new ideas and approaches from the world of VMs. This year, nearly…
You may have seen IBM’s recent news banning employees from using removable storage devices across its entire global organization. The company wants to prevent sensitive information, like company trade secrets and financial details, from falling into the hands of its…
You may have seen our recent post discussing the top themes and stories that caught our eye during this year’s RSA Conference. One that truly stood out is the discussion around quantum cybersecurity, including quantum random. As mentioned in that…
