John O’Connor, Vice President of Product Management at Crypto4A, is sharing a very exciting announcement from ISARA! Watch on to learn about the innovative steps ISARA is taking on behalf of the whole industry, and how you and your teams will be able to benefit from this change as you continue to prepare for a post-quantum world.
Read MoreJust today NIST released its report on the results of their Round 3 process for selecting post-quantum algorithms for standardization. These new and emerging standards will be candidates for use in our roots of trust, our applications, our devices, networks, protocols and so on.
will protect our digital identities, and by extension the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our connected digital structures. They will also serve to protect our privacy. They are the new foundations of digital trust.
The old adage of ‘trust but verify’ (or ‘zero- trust’) is proving hard to do with today’s HSMs, particularly in cloud and multi-cloud settings. In an ‘always on /always immediate’ connected economy with emergent digital identities, no real-time lags and straight-through processing needs, ‘trust but verify’ needs to change to ‘trust and verify’. Each time.
Read MoreWe expect that this US government initiative will be followed by other like-minded governments and industries around the world. We see the Biden Executive Order as a positive and necessary first step in creating an inventory of quantum-safe cryptography
Read MoreHere are some thoughts on approaches for the current and coming crypto issues and how these will begin to impact our IT projects, systems, and processes.
Read MoreIt’s quite possible with all the recent and accelerating quantum breakthroughs that we are now arriving at the stage of what is known as ‘event risk’, and that as a prudent defensive expenditure for the future, given the amount of work, expertise, and time involved to become quantum safe, it is time to begin preparations and planning for strengthening the digital trust we all rely on.

Read MoreIn our last blog, we explored the many, many places cryptography enables the delivery of digital value and digital trust in today’s enterprises and supply chains. In this blog, we want to explore what it means in practice to say that cryptography is everywhere in your technology stacks – and in everyone else’s technology stacks…
Read MoreIn my last blog, we discussed the need to know where and how your crypto is currently being used in your organization and in your supply chain interactions. You will find it useful to do this on a regular basis, and you will want to bring in some central coherence and visibility to this function…
Read MoreBecause we haven’t had to change the family of algorithms since launching the HSM some 25 years ago, the explosion and creep of where and what type of cryptographies exist in the enterprise – and its supply chains – have not been a matter of centralized command and control.
Read MoreThe NSA just released an FAQ addressing Quantum Computing and Post-Quantum Cryptography. This blog decrypts this FAQ into 5 keys insights for you.
Read MoreThe takeaways: digital trust underpins our entire digital economy, and makes digital transformation of businesses possible. With quantum computing on the horizon, however, a next generation of cryptography will be needed. Digital Transformation: the New Imperative No one would argue that the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t been disruptive, and in many cases tragic. But imagine how…
Read MoreAccess to high-quality entropy is required at every point of our digital infrastructure to ensure strong cybersecurity.
Read MoreDigital trust is the confidence that we have that we can use digital systems safely, and it underpins our entire digital economy. The basis for digital trust is today’s public key infrastructure (PKI) and the cryptography behind it.
Read MoreA quantum computer uses the properties of quantum mechanics to achieve incredible amounts of processing power.
Read MoreJim Goodman’s whitepaper introduces the basic ideas behind hash-based signatures (HBS), discusses their suitability to use in a firmware- or code-signing application, and describes some of their limitations in a real-world setting.
