Welcome to the latest edition of the Quantum Era Security Times; brought to you by IDQ, the world leader in quantum-safe cryptography solutions. In our fourth edition of 2017, we look at the stats outlined in Gemalto’s 2016 Breach Level Index Report and how data owners are failing to get to grips with protecting their data. We also discuss The Case for Strong Encryption Keys in which entropy and random number generation in cryptography is explained. In other news, we have become a member of ETSI and we are currently active in 2 committees: Quantum Safe Cryptography and Quantum Key Distribution. Finally, we will be at the SIGS Technology Conference and at the ICMC 2017 in May where we will present at both. Best regards, Grégoire Ribordy |
