There’s growing awareness of the post-quantum threat to cybersecurity and NIST is expected to deliver recommendations soon. Avesta Hojjati, VP of Engineering from DigiCert, provides an update:
– The potential risk quantum computers pose to existing security protocols and algorithms, which could be broken in a matter of hours or weeks once a stable and powerful enough quantum computer is developed.
– The importance of incorporating security into the design cycle of networking equipment, following the “security by design” recommendation, to protect against quantum threats.
– The introduction of post-quantum crypto, a new set of cryptographic algorithms being developed to secure devices against quantum computers, despite the complexities and limitations of these devices and use cases.
