Authentication, digital signatures, and encryption are generally based on a set of keys and algorithms for transforming digital data, called clear text, into an encrypted form and back again.

As the attack surface expands and the threat landscape grows more complex, it’s time to consider whether your data protection ...

• Benchmark PQC-resistant certificates based on the NIST-selected encryption algorithms against enterprise workloads to assess their impact on authentication speed, API latency and cloud ...

Although 802.1x will help fix the static WEP key security issues, it is strictly an authentication standard and does not address the encryption weaknesses found in WEP.

PQC’s quantum-resistant algorithms will further harden the encryption technologies that zero trust’s reliability, stability and scale rely on.

The potential of breaking all authentication and encryption is serious though. Allowing cyberattackers a wide-open cyberdefense without minimally hardening our systems would be catastrophic.

The researchers didn’t just stop at RSA. They also attacked algorithms crucial to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), including Present, Rectangle, and the Gift-64 block cipher.

With each email, text, tweet, tap and stream, more data is available for companies to collect and use, and without sufficient protections, for hackers to exploit.
