The Clock Is Already Ticking: Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Can’t Wait

There is a question I have been hearing more and more from CISOs, compliance officers, and security architects over the past year. It does not start with "we had a breach" or "we failed an audit." It starts with something that sounds almost philosophical: " Are we quantum-safe?" A year ago, that...

On the Practical Feasibility of Harvest-Now, Decrypt-Later Attacks

Harvest-now, decrypt-later HN-DL attacks threaten today's encrypted communications by archiving ciphertext until a quantum computer can break the underlying key exchange. This paper reframes HN-DL as an economic problem, quantifying adversary costs across Transport Layer Security TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3...

Expert Recommends: Prepare for PQC Right Now

Introduction: Steal It Today, Break It in a Decade Digital evolution is unstoppable, and though the pace may vary, things tend to fall into place sooner rather than later. That, of course, applies to adversaries as well. The rise of ransomware and cyber extortion generated funding for a complex a...
