Post-Quantum Cryptography
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

IT security specialist Cloudflare announces the standard and free deployment of post-quantum cryptography to protect its websites, APIs, cloud tools and remote workers from future threats. This now allows all Cloudflare customers to smoothly enter the next era of cybersecurity standards—instantly and at no cost. Setting the course before things get serious Quantum computers solve complex arithmetic tasks many times faster than today's computers and are expected to reach such a sophisticated level in the next few years that they will be able to decrypt most of the encrypted data on the Internet. Recently, the administration of the US President...

Post-quantum cryptography: encryption against quantum computers
Post-quantum cryptography: encryption against quantum computers

Algorithms used today for encryption may soon prove too weak - once quantum computers become practical. Algorithms and hardware must therefore be developed that can also withstand these powerful supercomputers: post-quantum cryptography. A few years ago, the US federal agency National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a process to define/evaluate quantum-resistant algorithms. The potential candidates were selected in various rounds. In total, more than 80 algorithms were proposed, some of which were dropped quite early. The reason for this was that mathematical attacks were developed for quantum computers that break the algorithms...
