Whitepaper: Living in a Quantum-Safe World

Quantum technology is bringing about a new age of computing, with advances in science and medicine, and much more potential ahead. However, it also brings serious security concerns – quantum-powered cyber attacks could easily defeat today's encryption algorithms, for instance. But there are steps you can take today to stay ahead of the game, with encryption methods and general security practices that can be used now to properly prepare your quantum resistance. We present this as a three-point approach to staying “quantum-safe.”

 

Key Takeaways:

  • An overview on quantum computers
  • Symmetric key encryption & true random numbers
  • Post-quantum encryption algorithms
  • Key wrapping & quantum key distribution
