MAGIQ: A Post-Quantum Multi-Agentic AI Governance System with Provable Security

Our computing ecosystem is being transformed by two emerging paradigms: the increased deployment of agentic AI systems and advancements in quantum computing. With respect to agentic AI systems, one of the most critical problems is creating secure governing architectures that ensure agents follow...

A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines

My position on the urgency of rolling out quantum-resistant cryptography has changed compared to just a few months ago. You might have heard this privately from me in the past weeks, but it’s time to signal and justify this change of mind publicly. There had been rumors for a while of expected an...

Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Models for Next-Gen Cybersecurity

Another threat is the development of large quantum computers, which have a high likelihood of breaking the high popular security protocols because it can use both Shor and Grover algorithms. In order to fix this looming threat, quantum-resistant cryptographic systems, otherwise known as...

Enhancing NTRUEncrypt Security Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods: Theory and Practice

This paper presents a novel framework for enhancing the quantum resistance of NTRUEncrypt using Markov Chain Monte Carlo MCMC methods. We establish formal bounds on sampling efficiency and provide security reductions to lattice problems, bridging theoretical guarantees with practical...

Preparing for the Post Quantum Era: Quantum Ready Architecture for Security and Risk Management (QUASAR) -- a Strategic Framework for Cybersecurity

As quantum computing progresses, traditional cryptographic systems face the threat of obsolescence due to the capabilities of quantum algorithms. This paper introduces the Quantum-Ready Architecture for Security and Risk Management QUASAR, a novel framework designed to help organizations prepare...

NCSC Releases Post-Quantum Cryptography Timeline

The UK's National Computer Security Center part of GCHQ released a timeline--also see their blog post--for migration to quantum-computer-resistant cryptography. It even made The Guardian...

Single-Core CPU Cracked Post-Quantum Encryption Candidate Algorithm in Just an Hour

A late-stage candidate encryption algorithm that was meant to withstand decryption by powerful quantum computers in the future has been trivially cracked by using a computer running Intel Xeon CPU in an hour's time. The algorithm in question is SIKE — short for Supersingular Isogeny Key...

Prepare for a New Cryptographic Standard to Protect Against Future Quantum-Based Threats

The National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST has announced that a new post-quantum cryptographic standard will replace current public-key cryptography, which is vulnerable to quantum-based attacks. Note: the term “post-quantum cryptography” is often referred to as “quantum-resistant...
