In this episode, Dr. Kevin Tham, a seasoned CISO, shares his insights on the evolution of cryptography over the last 25 years and what the future holds, especially with the rise of quantum computing ...
A new paradigm is emerging that I believe will reshape the foundations of cybersecurity as we know it. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently unveiled its post-quantum ...
Quantum computing has long been portrayed as a looming threat to cybersecurity. Headlines warn of “Q-Day”—the moment when quantum machines will render today’s encryption useless. But behind the hype ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...
In 1994, the computer scientist Peter Shor discovered that if quantum computers were ever invented, they would decimate much of the infrastructure used to protect information shared online. That ...
In 1868, the mathematician Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) proclaimed that an encryption scheme called the Vigenère cipher was “unbreakable.” He had no proof, but he had compelling ...
