Quantum computing and the impact on cryptography
Summary
TechTalks are a new member initiative from GlobalPlatform, in which subject matter experts share insights and guidance on how to navigate the latest technology trends and advancements. As part of our PQC series, we invited experts from Entrust, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), PQShield, Thales and our Crypto Sub-Task Force, to share their technical best practice. Although TechTalks are an exclusive member benefit, the migration to PQC is a major priority for all industries, and so in this blog we have summarised our three key takeaways to help organisations understand why and how to prepare. This hybrid approach provides the crypto agility that ensures data is secure, once quantum computers are capable of breaking current classic encryption techniques. This will enable the flexibility to pivot and reprioritise in direct response to quantum computing challenges and developments, without causing a significant disruption to infrastructure.
