Post-Quantum #Cryptography for #Thales Luna HSM’s

Cybersecurity, IronCAP

01 Communique Laboratory Inc. has partnered with The Thales Group

Thales Group is a Paris based trusted global technology leader and will integrate IronCAP™ post-quantum cryptography (“PQC”) with Thales Luna HSMs (“Hardware Security Modules”) – providing military grade protection for users’ data and critical applications.

This partnership is designed to develop joint-market quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions. These solutions will be for global businesses, organizations and governments, and will ensure cyber resilience in the post quantum environment.

Thales Luna HSM customers can now add IronCAP™ FM (“Functional Module”) making PQC functionality seamless while conforming with the latest standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”).

Quoting Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Communique, “PQC systems are essential to protect sensitive data and critical applications from sophisticated attacks; now that Quantum Computers increase the threat. Integration of IronCAP™ with Thales Luna HSMs provide users with an extra layer of security to protect them. Our goal is to partner with Thales, to market the world’s best PQC solutions to enterprises and governments throughout the world – and ensure their clients data and applications are secure.”

“Thales is a trusted global leader in this field with a massive global footprint and their choice of IronCAP speaks to our best-in-class research and execution. This is a game changer both for 01 and the industry as a whole. The birth of a quantum-safe HSM!”, added Andrew Cheung. “It’s vital that businesses understand that many of today’s encryption standards are not fit for a quantum world. Hackers know quantum is coming and are actively working to steal data now so they can access it in the future, and large and multi-national organisations are most at risk due to compliance and privacy mandates. To protect their data in a Zero Trust world, organisations must embrace a strong Post Quantum crypto-agility strategy that looks beyond algorithms, to hybrid solutions that provide future protection today,” said Todd Moore, Vice President, Encryption Products at Thales.

Is the #RSA public-key #encryption system in danger?

Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity, IronCAP, ,

Can you break the RSA public-key encryption system using a quantum computer – Yes!

Researchers in China say they have reached a breakthrough in quantum computing. They claim that they have worked out how they can break the RSA public-key encryption system using a quantum computer. They used a quantum computer that  that will soon be publicly available!

Breaking 2048-bit RSA would be extremely significant. Although the RSA algorithm itself has largely been replaced in consumer-facing protocols, such as Transport Layer Security, it is still widely used in older enterprise and operational technology software and in many code-signing certificates. If a malicious adversary were able to generate these signing keys or decrypt the messages protected by RSA then that adversary would be able to snoop on internet traffic as well as potentially pass off malicious code as if it were a legitimate software update, potentially enabling them to seize control of third-party devices.

In a white paper published by the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre in November 2020, experts warned that because almost all of today’s widely-used public-key cryptography systems depend for their security on the difficulty of factoring very large numbers, they would be easy to crack with a large-enough general purpose quantum computer.

The #Tourbillon Central Bank Digital Currency #CBDC Project

Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity, IronCAP

#Tourbillon, a new project to improve cyber resiliency, scalability, & privacy as a prototype CBDC.

The project has been launched by BIS Innovation Hub’s Swiss Centre and the goal is for the prototype to be finished by mid-2023, and BIS states results will be relevant to both wholesale and retail CBDC.

“To achieve cyber resiliency the project will be experimenting with #quantum-resistant #cryptography. For scalability the project will use an architecture compatible with distributed ledger technology, although not based on it. By making each transaction separate, the system resources scale linearly. The project seeks to verify the linear scalability of the design with realistic parameters.” FinExtra News reported.

Tourbillon aims to create privacy by providing it for the payment sender but not for the recipient. Regulatory and compliance checks will continue to apply.

Central bank digital currency (CBDC) is money that a central bank, like the Bank of England, can produce. It’s called digital (or electronic) because it isn’t physical money like notes and coins. It is in the form of an amount on a computer or similar device. A CBDC is different from cryptocurrency (also known as cryptoassets). Cryptocurrencies are NOT issued by a central bank. A CBDC is simply digital fiat, whereas cryptocurrencies are digital assets on a decentralised network.

Many countries are developing CBDCs, and some have even implemented them!

Why is #IronCAP the preferred #postquantum #cybersecurity solution?

Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity, IronCAP

Unlike regular computers, quantum computers work so quickly that they can crack security measures in seconds – something that conventional computers can take years to do.

Quantum computers exploit the quantum effects to perform memory and processing tasks using qubits, or quantum bits. Because of this, both memory and processing are performed in parallel rather than the traditional serial method. It’s faster than regular computers and may be used to create powerful security technologies.

Quantum computers build upon the principals of quantum mechanics to give us an entirely new way of computing. They operate by taking advantage of quantum mechanics to perform computations, which means they can function on a scale far beyond classical computers. This gives them immense power and speed, which has led many physicists to predict that they will one day replace our current computing methods.

#CyberAttacks Have No Boundaries

Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity, IronCAP

There are cyberattacks on corporations and government bodies daily. We have all heard of the famous Twitter hack where a number of high-profile politicians and tech leader accounts were hacked to scam people into transferring their cryptocurrency. Blockchain and cryptocurrency are not immune to hacking. A family of malware, KryptoCibule, has been stealing cryptocurrency from users since as far back as December 2018, as per security firm ESET.

Quantum computing is now accelerating rapidly into commercial applications and that unfortunately will also include quantum hacking. The good news is that IronCAP has already successfully built a quantum-safe encryption that protects you from pre-quantum and post-quantum threats.

Clearly, cryptography is the key and quantum-safe encryption is the bulletproof vest for your data. Your traditional computers are not quantum-safe and cannot withstand the power of quantum hacking.  BUT IronCAP’s patent-protected cryptographic technology can make you quantum-safe.

Disruptive #Cyberattacks could easily cripple a nation

Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity, IronCAP

Energy supplies and critical infrastructure is not immune from attack!

On May 7th, 2021, Colonial Pipeline, the largest American oil pipeline system that carries 2.5 million barrels of fuel a day delivering 45% of what is consumed on the East Coast of the United States, was shut down by a ransomware attack.

The only surprise – is that anyone is surprised! First the SolarWinds and now this blatantly demonstrates the weak cybersecurity of critical national infrastructure. One thing is certain that we need a more advanced approach towards cybersecurity.

Ever since the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack has become public knowledge, there has been panic fuel buying in the East Coast of the United States.  Fuel prices have creeped up across the country, and 17 US States and Washington DC have declared states of emergency. CTV news quoted U.S. President, Joe Biden, “We need to invest to safeguard our critical infrastructure.” And Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, said the attack “tells you how utterly vulnerable we are” to cyberattacks on the U.S. infrastructure.

Cyber threats are real and can turn catastrophic with the arrival of quantum computing.  We can prevent these crippling cyberattacks by updating our approach to cybersecurity – becoming quantum-safe.
