The Quantum-Safe Sentinel #1
Welcome to the inaugural issue of QuRISK’s monthly bulletin, launched in celebration of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
This new series is dedicated to shedding light on the rapidly evolving quantum cyber threat landscape and the emerging quantum-safe solutions: from Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and beyond.
Each month, QuRISK will bring you a curated selection of insights, including key awareness points, the latest industry news and regulatory updates, and a spotlight feature on a timely quantum security topic.
5 Steps to Crypto-Agility Before PQC Implementation
Quantum computing is no longer a distant concern. With the European roadmap setting 2030 as the deadline for transitioning high-risk systems to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), organizations need to act now. It's time for all CISOs to proactively address the "quantum shift" and consider a structured, long-term response. Let's explore the possible solutions and understand why crypto-agility is, without a doubt, the mandatory prerequisite, before detailing the steps to becoming a crypto-agile organization.
QKD standards: from Theory to Practice
In this article, we expose how QuRISK, as a risk company specialized in emerging technologies, is tackling the QKD security standardization subject. We will delve deeper into what these standards cover.
This article is a first result of a collaboration with EPITA’s Quantum Major students and VeriQloud - a leading French company in Quantum Communication - that offers cutting-edge QKD systems. The goal of our project is to propose innovative and efficient methods for analyzing and practically testing the compliance of QKD systems.
Why We Need Standardization of Quantum Key Distribution Networks
As quantum computing comes to the fore, many organizations are starting to plan their migration to innovative cryptography solutions. Adopting Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a good response to upcoming cyber threats related to communication. It necessitates standardized networks, and here’s why.
