Following my post on post-quantum cryptography, a few thoughts for management. Quantum computers that can break today´s encryption may be ten years away, maybe more, maybe less. Nobody knows. So why should management care now? Because some of your data has a long life. Contracts, patents, medical records, customer data, state secrets. If it is […]

In August NIST published the first three standards for post-quantum cryptography: ML-KEM for key exchange and ML-DSA and SLH-DSA for signatures. They are designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers, which could break the RSA and elliptic curve cryptography we use today. Why now, when no such quantum computer exists? Because of ‘harvest now, […]
