You've heard me rambling about Quantum Computers and the impact they will have on cryptography. Probably the biggest and most well-known impact is that they will be able to use Shor's quantum algorithm to crack all RSA/ECC cryptography. Fortunately, Quantum…
The Perfect "Harvest Now - Decrypt Later" Attack In my previous article, I described how Quantum Computers threaten the foundation of current cryptographic algorithms, but critics might say that a Quantum Computer is not yet available and won't be…
Are you entropy starved? Entropy is the essence of randomness and one of the big building blocks of good security. There are lots of ways to generate it on a computer – for example, you may have used apps that…
Over the past couple of months, you may have seen some of our social media posts on the importance of encrypting virtual machines, specifically within the VMware vSphere platform. Since version 6.5, vSphere includes encryption capabilities and embeds QuintessenceLabs' own…
In a month that saw Marvel’s Ant-Man enter the (fictional) quantum realm, you might have missed out on some top quantum news. Here’s our round-up of everything you need to know. One Billion Dollars The White House has earmarked…
As the banking world becomes increasingly digital, the need for strong cybersecurity systems has never been greater. Banks need to assure customers their systems and processes are secure, while delivering a user-friendly experience. The global nature of banking can also…
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…
In Part I, I discussed some of the older cybersecurity challenges that new technologies are still dealing with. In this piece, I cover new challenges for new technologies. Each new technology presents its own cybersecurity vulnerabilities for criminals to exploit.…
Quantum computers were a hot topic in 2017 but since it’s still very early in the game for that technology, and the technology is improving in leaps and bounds, it’s a safe bet we’ll be hearing much more about quantum…
