How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Trust Crypto Again

After six years of competition, analysis, and testing, NIST has finally selected a suite of four quantum secure algorithms that will be used to secure the world as quantum computers are adopted. Did they choose the right algorithms?

Real World Crypto 2022 recently concluded after a successful hybrid event in Amsterdam. With so much emphasis landing on post-quantum cryptography so far in 2022, one talk really had our attention: “Where Is the Research on Cryptographic Transition and Agility” presented by David Ott.It’s a fair point.

Exciting new research from Cryptosense Chief Scientist Riccardo Focardi provides a simple and proven method to remove the risk of API-level attacks and enable widespread adoption of cloud HSMs. 

Or ‘Wait, what does SCEP stand for again?’ Cryptography is the study of secure communication, but you would be forgiven if you thought it was a mathematician's hobby of creating unpronounceable acronyms. HSTS, really? What's wrong with something like Radar or Crispr? In this article we’ll go through some of the key terms and acronyms that pop up when working in the cryptography field.
