Post-Quantum Encryption: A Q&A with NIST’s Matt Scholl
- aborsy 5y ago>> What can companies and people do now to protect themselves from future attacks? If you're an organization, don't wait for the standard to be done. Start inventorying your most important information. Ask yourself what is that data that an adversary is going to want to break into first. Because again, the first quantum computers are going to be expensive to operate and maintain, so determine what is your most important information and whether its encryption is vulnerable. If it is, then develop priorities for using quantum-resistant encryption as you plan to upgrade your infrastructures over the next couple of years. And then start to prioritize and plan so that you're ready to implement the new standards when they are available. ————— Useless text. Tell us what algorithms and what software to use.
